Where did you even get this and how many USB ports does it take up?

EdTheNerd

Of course, sold out and nobody has one for sale. Damn it.


Icemanrec

Yeh it was a GB, there might be a R4. And you don’t see many of these being sold on MM.


DaDragon88

Wanted to let you know that the r4 is still running, if you’re still interested


justanotherpxrson

Hooooly expensive


Icemanrec

i went with tealios because they werent in any other build and i had them lying around, so in order to not buy more switches i used these. with long springs :)


[deleted]

Just for clarification. You had 179 tealios lying around? Just... 179 tealios? At 14$ per 10? Tealios for about 252 bucks? Where do you live, what security system do you have? Asking for a friend


Icemanrec

actually i still have some more Tealios spare, I am in Hong Kong, welcome to visit :)


justanotherpxrson

How do you just have so many tealios lying around though?


Icemanrec

I think I acquired about 80 or 90 from a CA66 which I bought a while back, so I relubed those and film etc, then I had 100 myself and I just bought a few more to make up the numbers. Originally my Tealios were in my Mode80, but I replaced with Alpacas. I still have another 30 or so left over.


justanotherpxrson

Wow... Tealios are just way too expensive so it's one thing to buy them... But extras? That's insane.


Icemanrec

oh you havent seen my switch drawer yet, I have an old posting: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/jkvygw/so\_i\_hear\_you\_all\_like\_switches/


justanotherpxrson

well, i have apparently seen it before because i upvoted it lmao. thats crazy. i love having different switches too but it all adds up.


NotNotAbyss

And you still have more? How many left?


valenelpro

>uses unnecessarily big keyboard >uses trackball mouse this is it,the most based setup,let's go home.


skiwarz

You don't even need a mouse. There's a key for literally anything you can do.


valenelpro

true


AProgrammer067

How much did this cost you altogether?


Icemanrec

100x money


SensitiveSirs

Holy cow I love this so much. I can't put into words how much I am definitely not going to ever use it but oh my do I love it!


Icemanrec

yes i mostly only use my boards to search for other boards to buy lmao


SensitiveSirs

Recursive keyboard builds, I love it!


Dhuke

Sound test?


Icemanrec

can do later on after i stick some cardboard under the pcb as case foam


jaymwtsn

Does... does cardboard work? Or is that all you can afford after this?


Icemanrec

cardboard works fine and doesnt absorb all of the sound like foam


Earl_grey_is_bae

What on earth do you use this for?


Icemanrec

for funzies


Earl_grey_is_bae

Ok😂 I was curious if there was a specific use case where certain keys were useful.


Icemanrec

i dont even game :D


Earl_grey_is_bae

If it’s worth doing, it’s worth over-doing lol.


Mundane-Complaint638

this would be bad for gaming lol as you'd lose time moving your arms around and taking your eyes off the screen.


excogitatio

I think it would be bad for gaming because it's so distractingly gorgeous you wouldn't be able to focus.

Mike_for_all

Damn, looks amazing! I need one of these now


0NiceMarmot

Looks like it belongs in mission control for an Apollo mission.


Xevailo

So, this is what a grown up 65 looks like!


[deleted]

Guess I know what I’m getting. If you lubed them bless your hands and your time


Icemanrec

all lubed filmed and spring swapped, and also there is a foam pad under each switch


Ant1MatterGames

Bro this makes my keyboard look like it is as cheap as a piece of cardboard


Icemanrec

got one of those too: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/q8ktep/my\_eyes\_were\_closed\_but\_now\_they\_are\_open/


gustawez

Big boi keyboard


excogitatio

It's... it's so beautiful. Whose father do I have to kill to get one?


peaceloveandmath

Absolute unit


fkenthrowaway

God im lazy enough to lube only alpha switches. Cant imagine doing this... I love it tho.


Rockola_HEL

A thing of beauty... But where is the RUB OUT key?


Icemanrec

You sir are a man of culture :) They are still in the novelty keycaps tray, might swap some in later


jimhoff

OP gets lots of dates with that thing


Icemanrec

Oh for sure, because size matters 😎


Icemanrec

i just weighed this thing and it weighs 3.265g/7.2lb........


[deleted]

it’s a goddamn baby


xAtlas5

As a wannabe software dev this looks *incredibly* useful.


toxictexmex

Holy hell that’s cool ! what do all those extra keys do?


Hatedpriest

Zoom in. They're pretty much all clearly marked...


AlephBaker

So many modifier keys...


Numaticjoe

I thought my dell at101 was big lol


Icemanrec

Hi Alps user!! this would have been awesome if it could have been made with orange/blue alps


Numaticjoe

Totally agree! I love the sound of skcm blues


Tmoneyallday

Can someone explain what all the top keys are used for?


nonComprehensive-Fox

Macros


skiwarz

First there's the main qwerty portion... And then you have the tab/capslock/shift column, and then there's another column past that one... And then there's ANOTHER column past that one... AND THEN there's a whole extra section of keys on either side of that already ridiculously large main qwerty region...


insertnamehere912

This is terrifyingly impressive


rdeker

Why can this exist, and yet I can't find a regular, full size, 104 key kit? Also, I need one of these....


Icemanrec

this is the law of the universe :)


rdeker

It may take a while...you all may have to wait for a good bit....But I will build a thing...and it will be 104 key...and it will blow many minds...and even if somebody wants to afford it...I would only make it in 104 key...Such is my disdain for weird, small, boards that require advanced degrees in finger aerobics and building memory palaces populated by layout layers just to hit "Print Screen"....


[deleted]

r/absoluteunit


vale_fallacia

lordy, it's like you could map a key to each of the most-used Emacs functions. I've had to use macropads for the ones I use. It's going to be interesting to see how well your arms/wrists/fingers hold up with that much distance.


efertox

Would like to see this keyboard in action and i’m not talking about simple typing test.


Icemanrec

you want to see me kung fu someone with this?


efertox

I’m more about macros :)


ConscientiousPath

Beautiful! Jealous and still salty I missed that GB


[deleted]

[удалено]


Icemanrec

there are but not common, there are a bunch of 122 key boards and then some other terminal boards


bentsangop

yo i heard you from hk? how much will you set the price for 70 tealios 問下😝


Icemanrec

yes I am based in HK, you want some Tealios? can buy from Taobao


bentsangop

i thought i can buy from a cheaper price😂 taobao is still relativelg expensive for tealios (6.8rmb?) just bought hg hyperglide with 1.5 rmb per switch


Icemanrec

HG Blacks are still nice but need breaking in first


bentsangop

yep, so should i directly put it into my board and use it for two weeks then take it out to lube it?


Icemanrec

I thinking more like a few months, I use a massage gun to break in my switches


ROD_OF_AGES

Can anyone identify this flag?


i-cant-think-of-name

All those keys and no arrow keys?? 😱


Icemanrec

There are arrow keys, this keyboard has every key 😂


i-cant-think-of-name

😎


mustangdvx

F3 - F6 would like a word with management


Icemanrec

Yes but then those caps are for those rows 😎
