I have returned to my blog! Huzzah! Contiuning from here and here
While I haven't upgraded any of the internals yet, I have gone through a couple sets of keycaps. The first ones I went through were a set of white ones, pictured below
These were... not the ones I intended to get. I ordered these last April, 2022, and despite the fact I specifically ordered the black version, they sent me the white version. And this was okay, except for the fact that white keycaps show every last bit of grime that gets on them. So my keyboard was almost constantly dirty looking.
Additionally annoyingly, for some reason they decided to put graphics on all the function keys, which were obviously completely wrong for my keyboard. And that annoyed me enough that I just decided to keep the original black ones, which somewhat ruined the aesthetic, but c'est la vie.
Just recently however, and the source of inspiration for me deciding to write another blog post on this site, is that I got another new set which really are properly black
They're really nice! My only small complaint is that they didn't have a menu key, and rather just had two Windows keys. Because of that, I decided to just rebind the menu key to the right Windows key with AHK, which works perfectly well and lets me use all new keycaps for my keyboard.
Overall, I am still happy with the decision to buy this keyboard, and I look forward to contiuning to make more upgrades to it over the next couple years. Eventually though I'll probably abandon this thing in favor of one of those Unicomp New Model M keyboards they've been making, as those look really nice.
