Even if it’s not expensive, Is there a high quality item every serious enthusiast owns?

Or maybe it’s a highly prized holy grail item you’d give your right arm for.

Is there something you’ve had an eye on for a while and you’re just waiting for an excuse to treat yourself?

    The screen definitely is. The swappable modules as well. I’m wondering about the keys themselves.

    There’s really two reasons to use mechanicals- they’re. Ore reliable and because they don’t rely on mashing a circuit closed, you can type faster with less finger strain by not bottoming the key out.

    If you can get the same effect in something that can be taken off and cleaned…

      Each key is magnetically suspended with rare earth magnets allowing them to be 97% transparent and ultra low friction. Each switch has 4mm of travel and will be available in linear and tactile variants. They also feature a software adjustable actuation point in 0.1mm increments and rapid trigger functionality through analog hall effect sensing.

      Eagerly awaiting reviews on the keys, it will take something impressive to pry my cherry mx browns out of my hands…

      As someone who dabbles in all kinds of software development and media production, I feel like the screen is less of a gimmick when you consider how it can change to show shortcuts for the specific application or OS you’re running. Definitely a gimmick to use it for showing flames and fireworks and waifus… but I think it has potential for productivity
