It's become something of an obsession: trying to make my desk cool. I grabbed my monitor and chair from the office about six months too late and now it's such a good space

The last few weeks has not been the most fun. I can't find time to take pictures, so here's a montage.

We did some weekend things.

I thought this was going to take all day. Nowhere has switches in stock, and I have a board with really good switches that I'm not using

The easiest build I've done so far. Maybe because I had planned it. I knew what layout I was using. I'd counted my switches. All I needed to do was place them, solder them, sort my firmware. But this was a fun build, and I was rewarded for my planning

The week that both went quickly and felt like it would never end.

I've been quite good with cycling in the morning the last two weeks. Been pushing myself pretty hard, and I go before breakfast so sometimes I push a bit too far and need to lie down for a minute

I don't really get how any of this works. So far I've just been doing things and they've been working OK most of the time

I've been waiting for this set for so long.

I was too busy focussing on not messing up the build to take photos whilst I was working

Easily the most boring part of mechanical keyboards is lubing switches. It is, unfortunately, not optional. There are no shortcuts.

It's not a secret; I love keyboards. I love building them, I love talking about them, I love programming them

I have been using Kailh Box Blacks on my UT47.2 but I don't like them. I don't hate them but I can do better. They have a very heavy actuation and they're clicky for a silent linear.

I shuffled some keycaps around, mainly to get a DSA set on the RoPro so that I can reach the F-row easier and have -=[] on my main layer

Can you spot the intentional mistake?
