Man I had low expectations going into this, but…. the tinypod is pretty bad.

The wheel just does not work most of the time. Also the plastic is really greasy . Feels gross.

even got my dog screaming MUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD

She said “yes” chat!!

I tried lubing my old Magic Keyboard just for kicks and it makes a huge difference!

I might try lubing the whole board now haha. What a meme.

Top board is unlubed, bottom is lubed.

Sound test for the parallel portal.

I had NK silk switches in here previously, but I swapped them out for the roller linears, because of how solid the roller switches feel with ceramic caps. The silks feel really loose in comparison - ceramic caps are so heavy that it just amplifies any stem wobble.

That said, I think the NK silks sounded way nicer... you win some you lose some.

Wrapped up two projects this weekend.

Parallel portal
• roller linear switches
• mix of ceramic white/red caps, and neon green polycarbonate caps

Rama thermal seq2
• Lubed/filmed Zaku linear switches
• KAT black on white keycaps
• brass 7u spacebar (it’s so heavy that I had to mod the spacebar switch with an extra strong spring )
