A project I've been working on for a while, the RDS-100.

Finally got my micro journal! I was originally waiting for the 6 to be available even though I wasn’t the biggest fan of not having a cover for the keys. A few months passed and the next time I checked, Un Kyu Lee had created this update.

I’m a total newbie when it comes to setting up anything of this sort but didn’t come across any issues at all with installing files and tweaks for the keyboard (thanks Un Kyu for the super detailed and clear instructions!)

Still waiting on my battery order but now wondering if I might just stick to a power bank…

I found this moth while helping my partner with the gardening yesterday evening. I'm not very up on moths. They were small but chunky. 😊

Well my DSA Dolch keycaps just arrived from Signature Plastics! Aside from them accidentally sending me a second 8 instead of a 9, these really are wonderful. Very old school, exactly what I'm after. They feel really solid too. Alas, they were out of stock of alternate keys, so I had to make a few substitutions... But just look at them! I can see why people like them so much.

Switches wise, I'm tentatively trying out mixing and matching two models: Kailh Super Speed Bronze for the main keys, as they're just so fun, they make me smile; and Outemu Silent Lemon V3 for the rest, so the longer keys are quiet.

The board itself is a humble Keychron Q7. I think its neutral grey/silver border works OK with these keycaps. (The keys are a sort of grey-olive colour that the photos don't really do them justice to. They also don't do justice to how the keys are square and round in all the right ways.)

Does anyone else like these? I just got them a few days ago, and so far I much prefer them to both the Gateron G Pro Browns my keyboard came with, and even the Oil Kings. I guess I prefer lighter, clickier switches.

I was just curious, because I only found a few people posting about them here, mostly to say they got false positive keypresses just from resting their fingers on them, a problem I haven't had.

Sorry the photos are a bit blurry, this weevil was very spritely!
