I didn't try the Moonlander but I had an Ergodox-Ez which was its predecessor. I ended up making a dactyl manuform and it was my favorite out of every keyboard I've tried. Just wish it was easier to make one with RGB so I can prog

Its a tiny part of the basic truth that leaves out any criticism of Assange. It doesn't entirely revolve around the leaking of a single video of a US helicopter killing civilians.

There's a 0% chance that Epstein is alive and a 0% chance she walks on those charges. Miscarriages of justice do happen but for the most part life is not a poorly written TV drama.

He mentioned a single thing that Assange has done. That's not bringing people up to speed. Its disingenuous because its a more complicated situation than that one thing describes. And that statement stands whether a person supports him

The result is the same if you don't give a shit about the quality of the keycaps you are using. Most people don't care at all and that's fine. For those of us who do care even a little, the result is obviously not the same. E

Generally speaking, thicker keycaps are considered by most enthusiasts to be superior to thinner ones. Pimpmykeyboard's quality is good but not amazing. Also, this is a keyboard for people that like ALPS. There's a million custom
