Woo, microcenter had cherry mx browns on sale for $15 for 36. Jumped on that and a 65% Red Dragon and I’m all set now. Thanks again for the advice. Really helped me learn a few things.

Well, at least it’s scientifically backed gossip then, eh?

That’s weird. Cinnamon is usually the most stable thing about my Mint install. Sure you’re on newest version? 6.0.4?

Those lavenders are the closest to Cherry Browns?

Yeah, I have the RGB version of the K596 so I’d probably just end up keeping these keycaps. They aren’t bad looking and the RGB settings on this have a neat “skittles” mode.

I was looking into 3d printing my own keycaps, but that looked to be a no-go if I wanted any kind of quality feel to them.

Guess I either have some saving to do or considering if I want to upgrade this thing or not. It’s not a terrible keyboard in the grand scheme, especially since it already has the media keys I want. Would feel like putting a Ferrari motor in a Yugo though.

Oh, I already know what switches I like, but ain’t no one here going to like the answer. >.>

Yeah I have the k596 right now but it has reds in it. Got it for free. It’s not bad, but again, linear switches. I think I may be able to change switches on it but I wouldn’t even know where to begin with that whole rodeo.

It did come with a box of switches. However, there are only two of each and the brown switches in there feel a little mushy.

It also has that row of G-keys which throws me off because I use my pinky to find the left CTRL key when gaming etc. (I don’t really need macro keys to be frank. Have never found a use for them.)

Those Keycrons are more than just spending a little more. They are $200? Also, function media keys are ew. I would have the kept the shitty razer thing I had with blues if that were the case.

Previous, Next, Play/Pause

Knob is fine. So long as I can easily control the volume. I have a very loud speaker setup so I need to be able to turn shit down quickly.

Sorry, I meant dedicated media keys. Function media keys defeats the point. Apologies.

sit somewhere super comfortable

They are implying my desk isn’t comfortable.

How rude.

They lost, but killed the dev through attrition.

Because it is. They are telling paying customers to get stuffed. I was planning on putting Linux on my daughter’s PC but with this she will never let me. Only computer left in the house with Windows on it. :(

there is a similar game about building a cult compound

Rimworld? lol

You forgot big slimy dicks.

I mean, most people would ask for clarification, but I mean, keep being fucking obtuse. You must be fun in debate club.
