Okay, so let me tell you about this whole mouse sizing chart adventure. For ages, I was just buying mice, you know? Read a review, it looked cool, so I bought it. And half the time, my hand would be cramping up, or it just felt… off. It was super annoying, especially when I was…

Alright, so I was messing around with keyboard stuff the other day, wanting to get a new feel for my setup. You know how it is, you start looking at one thing, and then suddenly you’re deep into parts you never even knew existed. That’s how I stumbled upon this whole 3-pin versus 5-pin switch…

Alright, so everyone’s been yapping about these Boba switches, the U4 and the U4T. Figured I’d see what all the fuss was about myself. You know how it is, you hear the hype, and you just gotta get your hands on ’em. So, I went and got a batch of both. Didn’t want to just…

Alright, so you’re diving into this whole mechanical keyboard hot-swap thing. Let me tell you, I’ve been there, done that, and got the slightly-bent switch puller to prove it. For ages, I was just using whatever keyboard came with the computer, or some cheapo thing I grabbed off a shelf. Then my buddy starts going…

Figuring Out This Whole Keyboard Switch Thing So, I dove into this keyboard switch rabbit hole, right? Wasn’t even sure why at first. My old keyboard just felt… mushy. Like typing on wet bread. Someone mentioned “mechanical keyboards” and “switches,” and down I went. Man, what a mess. Reds, blues, browns, blacks, yellows, greens… who…

Alright, so I’ve been meaning to really dig into the settings for my Logitech G Pro Wireless. It’s a fantastic mouse, don’t get me wrong, but the default DPI levels it cycles through with that button on the bottom? Man, it was a bit all over the place for my liking. I’d be in the…

Alright, let’s talk about this whole Cherry MX Brown travel situation. It’s something I’ve spent a good amount of time wrestling with, and I figure my journey might resonate with some of you out there. My First Brush with “Real” Key Travel So, I remember diving into the mechanical keyboard world. Before that, I was…

So, I’ve been messing around with different keyboard switches for a good while now. You know how it is, you start with one thing, then you hear about something else, and down the rabbit hole you go. For the longest time, I was on some standard Cherry MX Reds, which were fine, pretty decent for…

Alright, so let me tell you about my little adventure with these Kailh Choc Pale Blue switches. I’d been itching for a change on one of my low-profile keyboards. You know how it is, sometimes you just get tired of the feel, or maybe the old switches start feeling a bit off. I kept seeing…

My Little Adventure with Cherry MX Speed Silver Actuation Force So, I’d been hearing a bunch about these Cherry MX Speed Silver switches for a while. Folks online, a couple of my buddies, they were all talking ’em up, saying how they were super quick and light. At the time, I was clacking away on…

My Journey with the 108 Keyboard Layout Alright, so let’s talk about these 108-key keyboards. For the longest time, I was strictly a tenkeyless (TKL) guy. You know, ditch the numpad, save some desk space, look all cool and minimalist. I even dabbled with those tiny 60% boards. Full-size keyboards? Pfft, I thought they were…

So, I was tinkering with some keyboard parts the other day, as you do, and a thought popped into my head: do all these different switches actually bottom out at the same exact level? You know, when you press a key all the way down, does the keycap stop at the same height relative to…

Alright, so I figured it was about time I shared my little adventure into the world of key switches. It all started because my old keyboard, bless its circuits, just wasn’t feeling right anymore. You know how it is, some keys were getting a bit iffy, and the whole typing experience was just… meh. I…

So, I finally got around to properly setting up the Bluetooth on my Anne Pro 2. I’d been using it wired for a while, just out of habit, but the whole point of getting this little guy was the wireless freedom, right? Decided today was the day to ditch that cable, at least for a…

So, I got this itch the other day, you know? Someone asked me, “Hey, what PC graphics card is kinda like the one in the Xbox 360?” And I thought, “Huh, that’s a good question.” I’ve been around PCs and consoles for ages, but sometimes you just take these things for granted. My first instinct…

Alright, let me tell you about my little adventure with these Cherry Nixie switches. I’ve been messing around with keyboards for a while now, always looking for that next thing, you know? I’d heard the name “Nixie” whispered around, like some kind of vintage legend from old Nixdorf keyboards. So, when Cherry announced they were…

Alright, so I wanted to talk about my little adventure with these Outemu Silent Sky switches. It all started because, well, my old keyboard sounded like a machine gun. Seriously. Every time I typed, especially late at night, I felt like I was waking up the whole neighborhood, or at least my very patient family….

Okay, so my Anne Pro 2 keyboard was acting up. It was like, totally ignoring some of my key presses, and other times it would just go crazy and type a bunch of random stuff. Super annoying, especially when I was trying to, you know, actually get some work done. I figured a reset might…

Okay, so I’ve been messing around with these Anbernic handhelds for a while now, and honestly, it’s a bit of a rabbit hole. There are so many models, it’s hard to keep track! I finally decided I needed to get organized, so I started putting together a comparison chart. Figured I’d share my process, ’cause…
