This will sound stupid, but I recently found myself getting too concerned with how many likes each post I make on here gets, which is antithetical to the entire purpose behind me starting this webpage in the first place. Although the things I post hadn't changed, I found myself worrying whether whatever I do post will have any sort of traction, which I didn't like. Gonna try to stop caring about the likes.

here's my review for my unicomp mini M! My review of the keychron Q2 and box royals will be coming after the testing period with them is over!
I don't know if it goes without saying, but this site is AI-free. Everything here I wrote myself, and that is never going to change, as I don't see the point of writing on a personal website if its not written by me.

Just got the barebones keychron q2 kit in after much struggling with amazon sending me the wrong board and needing to wait through refund bs, and its so fucking good. The aluminum body feels better than any other custom I've felt thus far, and it feels so damn premium (esp for the price of only 59 dollars for the barebones kit!!). I got box royals for the board so I can try them out also and I'm really liking them!!

Gonna be reviewing the board, switches, and keycaps I got all together once I've used the board for a few weeks, but first impressions are very high!

I might have linked to you on other platforms, out of feeling you deserve more views. Enthusiasm like this is exactly why.

At long last, here's chapter 15 of Smaller Things. There's probably only a few more chapters before this novella I've been mulling over for years is finally done

After I finish, I'm gonna compile them all together into a single document that's been edited and is easier to read. It feels good to be this close to finishing something I started in community college. Crazy something so short in comparison to the thousands of pages I've put in personal novel projects not on this website has still consumed so much of my thoughts over the last 7 years of my life

RIP to a legend. The musician and DJ Kavinsky, who produced some of the best synthwave around, has passed away at 50. I have a great deal of respect for him as an artist, and the world is a smaller place with his loss.

Some more impressions of the unicomp mini M: I don't have an old IBM model M to compare at the moment, but from memory, it feels like the switches on the unicomp have a slightly higher pitch in their click, and less deep sound, but still substantially better than MX style clickies that I've used like MX blues (which are kind of shit tbh). I'm gonna be trying out box royals soon, so we'll see how they compare in--

--terms of tactility. I'm not the biggest fan of the sound of the unicomp variant of the buckling spring as compared to topre or some of the nicer sounding MX switches I've tried, but the feel is pretty fantastic. I do wish that the actuation point was higher on the switch like it is on topre (which also has a more rounded tactility), but I can't deny just how satisfying the tactility of the mini M is.

I am feeling a decent bit of fatigue with the switch as compared to topre, and all the MX style switches I've tried. I am curious if box royals will be too tactile, since I've heard both good and bad things about the switch.

(context: am putting together a custom keyboard using a keychron Q2 as a barebones kit to build on, specifically because I want to try box royals, and I had extra amazon gift cards from my birthday)

switching back to my HHKB, its very obvious that it is substantially less tactile, but the tactility is a bit more pleasing for me personally. That rounded feel is just very easy on the fingers, and helps me type for longer without difficulty. To say nothing of the sound, which is just perfect. I definitely don't think buckling spring is going to replace Topre for me, but I am gonna keep using the unicomp for a week
