That makes it even more impressive!
Well done, a beautiful organic look to it.
What sort of selfish, self centred, person must you be to put your kids above the needs of this community for more photos and your impressions of this keyboard?
That is not our way. Shame.
Seriously beautiful design! Hope you get to your senses and finish it :-) Do you have a lot of experience designing 3d objects?
If the aomebas don't fit just Handwire it. It's really enjoyable. Takes some time at first though.
Asked a similar question years ago and some suggested fingernail polish. Not sure how easy it would be to get off in case you must. Never tried it myself.
Plastidip should do the job elegantly if you manage to apply it cleanly enough.
The statement is Israel wants to extinguish hamas. The belief that giving them money from Quatar and they will give us peace and quiet was obviously false.
The Israeli people need the abducted to be brought back. That is the no. 1 reason for all of this.
There are a minority of fanatic religious lunatics (currently represented in this horrendous government of brain dead corrupt morons) that want to move back into Gaza. This will not happen.
Netanyahu needs the war to go on so that people forget he is to blame for a lot of this.
The army definitely can, and will be pressured to, punish these solders.
Netanyahu cannot afford to break his rotten coalition, he won't stay in power if the next elections happen now.
It only takea a few to do such a thing. They probably grew up in an extreme religious home and watch the Israeli propaganda channel (fox news style lies and brainwash). I hope they will be punished for both the desecration and the terrible PR, making Israel look even worse.
The solders involved in desecrating the mosque were detained. Not sure what will happen to them. The right in Israel tend not to care, or at most say these things happen and we're at war etc. The left are not having it, and see it as part of the extreme right religious movement that is our terrible government.
I'll read these. I trust haarets.
Blaming the condition Gaza is in on Israel and only Israel is giving Gaza no responsibility for anything, and makes sure nothing changes for decades. Can Israel do better, yes? Is Israel at fault for everything wrong with Gaza? Definitely not. Free palestine should be a call to get rid of hamas. That's the first step towards any progress. Israel used to be under pressure to fix things with palestinians. Now there is none to reach out to. This plays to the hands of our shitty fanatic and religious government as well as hamas. The extremes gain power and support in these horrible situations. The Palestinians, not hamas, and the people of Israel, not the settlers or the fanatic religious extremists, they all just want a peaceful two state solution. They don't want war, they don't care about the occupied territories (other than a means to ensure security). Gaza should have been an example of how the Palestinians take their destiny into their hands. They were not supposed to have an army, that saves money for what is really needed. They could have had infrastructure, they could have had a real, functioning country. Instead hamas took power and kept them as refugees. Hamas made the place a prison,not Israel. What did hamas expect Israel to do after the October 7th attack?? They done care about their own people, they hide behind them.
I'd one thing is clear after the attack, is that we cannot live as neighbours with hamas. Not sure what the solution is, but a ceasefire is to hamas a means to prepare the next attack.
I hope we get rid of our government very soon, but this time a sane, pragmatic, secular, or left wing leaning government hasn't got the option to reach its hand in peace. There is no going back to pre October 7th world.
Slave labour? Where do you get that?
Relatively labour from Gaza, yes, how is it forced??
If your answer is they have no other option, then how is Israel to blame?? Israel left Gaza and this is what it became - a terrorist playground. It could have been a developed country with all the Quatar money. Instead all the money was invested to make the place into one gigantic military facility, and enrich the hamas leaders.
Many
There are slightly less than half of that.
Whay do you mean by make up the number?
Hamas askes for prisoners by name. They are not just any palestinian. They are hamas people with blood on their hands. So Israel can't just gather a bunch of people off the street to release to hamas.
Thanks! That's one serious checklist :-)
The case I made might be a lost cause - it's got very little space for dampening the sound with foam, but enough to become an echo chamber. I'll see what I can do, but not optimistic.
I will keep this in mind for my next design though.
Thanks again!
It's really cool, with plenty of colourful stuff, but if you ask about ergonomic they point you to an Alice style board....
https://geekboards.de Prenzlauer Allee 45A, 10405, Berlin Germany
Do you live in Germany? Would you recommend sourcing laser cutting services here?
Because of the material, affixing might create the problem, or at least make it worse. I think affixing the plate with rubber layer might be the solution, but never tried that.
So, I've made the mistake of entering a keyboard store in Berlin. Nothing ergonomic there, so all they deal with are great looking boards, heavy, well built, and quiet!
I've built and designed my share of boards, and the sound hadn't bothered me at all until recently. I've designed my first 3d printed case, it's a one piece, just needs a bottom cover.
It acts like an amplifier to my typing. It's not a pleasant sound at all.
What would be the best way to design a quieter one piece board? What materials could make a difference? I was thinking of a metal switch plate, can It be used together with 3d printed layers? Wood? Should I use foam?
Looking for a choc build (more difficult due to lack of silent choc switches) as well as an mx build (probably bobba u4 switches, which will take care of most of the noise)
Thanks!
I'm OK with that definition too. Definitely not better than a fascist, arguably worse.
Doesn't the xiao build only have 11 io? How did you manage?
This particular government is the worst we've ever had. It was chosen by Netanyahu, who, you might be surprised, isn't at all a fascist, barely right winged. He is an opportunist. He took control of a mid to right winged party, one that made peace with Egypt. He realised his only way to gain votes (and later to get out of prison) was to outdo the right winged parties and 'steal' their voters. This made him good friends with the ultra orthodox and extreme right wingers. His party has become him, anyone still in his own party are idiots and imbeciles, none of who can operate a gevernment. Netanyahu is the scum of the earth, he has a government made of the worst our country has to offer. He is changing the laws and the governing system to get out of jail and become another Erdoğan/ bolsonaro /Putin, and just stay in power forever, stealing money from everyone as he has been doing for decades.
And idealist right winger would at least have a plan other than to save his own career and money while destroying the country and its institutions.
I am sad to say this (enrichment of the leaders on the Palestinians account) was true even before hamas.
Suah Arafat (Yassir Arafats wife, he was head of PLO) is a very prosperous woman. It took a couple of days between Arafats death and the announcement, because she had to have all his money transferred to her name. He didn't personally earn anything in that scale.
Regarding elections - hamas used to literally run over fatah (its opposition) demonstrations with pickup trucks
Ignoring so many details, such as what side caused camp David talks not to work? What side refused at least two offers to get practically all they asked for.
When was the west bank so overpopulates with Israeli settlements? (only in recent years when Israelis giving up on any potential partner on the paelstinian side started voting more right wing until we got a series of terrible governments in which everyone tried to out-right the other to enlarge their base of voters)
It mentions but ignores Gaza isn't occupied. And if this is what happens when Israel unilaterally leaves territory for Palestinians, who on earth would dream of ever leaving the west bank??? Have you seen the Israeli map? Giving up the west bank (which I'm in favour of) without piece would be suicide - Israel is tiny with or without it, there is no strategic way of defending israel from attacks from the west bank - it's geographic centre.
Palestinians are victims of their leaders who decided to enrich themselves instead of fixing Gaza and to put the huge sums of cash sent from Europe and some Arab countries into weapons instead of creating a livable state. People have been refugees for three generations there. Where else in the world is there a second generation refugee?? Who chose to keep them this way? Israel? Who hasn't been there since 2007?
Blaming every single problem in Gaza on Israel is idiotic and will keep this situation static forever.
The west bank is a much more complicated problem, made worse because of the many Israeli settlements that were added in recent years, and maybe made impossible due to the October 7 attacks from Gaza. There is no sane Israeli prime minister or government, be it right or ultra left wing, that would dream of pulling back and giving autonomy to an extreme jihadist movement like hamas. They just proved they are as good as isis, but somehow get support from leftist organisations all over the world.
You'd be surprised to feel the difference in a keywell such as yours paired with super sculpted keycaps! Assuming that a keywell makes keycap sculpting unnecessary, but then learnt that the manuform was designed around SA keycaps, I gave that a try, with extra sculpt. Instead of the regular 2,3,4 (3rd row being flat, 2 and 4 being slightly sculpted in opposite direction), I tried 1,3,4, where 1st row is for number row and fn row. It's super tall and sculpted. It was heavily! It reduced finger movement even more, but as you said - it was in a natural way.
Highly recommended!
My previous Dactyl Manuform was very low profile with choc switches, it was very elegant, more than most Dactyl Manuforms. The last one I built and am using now, is the bog standard 3x5 with SA keycaps - much, much taller but so much better!
What didn't you like about the U4? Are you using the U4t (for tactile)? It's the first silent switch I've used and I love it, but don't know any better. I might have to get new switches for building your variation, and if you've got a recommendation for a u4t alternative (and the reason it's better) I'd love to hear it!
Anyway - great photos, and again, beautiful build!

Hi. I've been using Dactyl Manuforms for quite a few years now. Settled down with a 5 column with an extremely sculpted SA keycaps and bobba u4t switches. I use only 2/3 thumb keys regularly but enjoy having more.
I'm interested to know if anyone thinks an alternative is worth trying ? Any input would be appreciated!
