The E-YOOSO Keyboard
To be clear I am not endorsing this keyboard specifically. Any cheap mechanical keyboard will work equally well to this thing. Buy whatever is avaliable
Figure I should give some updates for how this thing is working out for me, as it was one of the first things I poked around at with this blog back in late 2021
Overall, the keyboard is still working out for me. I did have to actually buy a new one cause on July 25th, 2023, I spilled soda all over it and the all the key switches got gunked up and ruined, and my attempts at trying to clean it out failed. Getting a new one was only $20, so it didn't take me long to justify to myself to just get the thing, lol

Keyboard arrives in the mail. Attach o-rings. Overall performance and feeling of using the keyboard is nice |

Ordered replacement keycaps from Razor. Cue frustration about the white ones being sent instead of the black ones, alongside the realization that the F3 keys all have legends on them that are entirely accurate to the E-Yooso function key layout, so I opted to keep the original, now mismatched, function keys |

Ordered Mistel Doubleshot PBT Keycaps. These ones look far nicer, are properly black, and the function row is reporting a bunch of incorrect graphics for the FN+Function Key shortcuts |

Spill soda all over keyboard |

Attempt to thoroughly clean the keyboard. Discover it will be a massive headache to accomplish, decide I'll probably just buy a new keyboard |

Realized I could buy the same model of keyboard for $20 (blue switches, no o-rings). Clean and swap over the keycaps. Is clickier due to clickier switches, but otherwise is identical |

Writing this blog post with an update about the keyboard. The update being that 3 years on, I'm still using what amounts to the same keyboard |
