What did they change?

 

 

There is no incline on the board like the normal case... it just lies flat on the desk... and is super thick. 

I have a 2019 macbook pro with 64gb of ram and my gaming pc has been in the closet since 2018

yep looks like a brick it will take feet to angle it but it just looks so blocky.

Maby.

But can the ergo dox - tilt and tent?

And I don't want to spend 250$

Sure you'll have to figure out a way so it can do that but sure. My suggestion would be since there are bolts that go all the way through use longer ones to life and create the effect you want.

Actually doing some research I might consider ergodox. Looks like the massdrop one (if it comes back) works with matias .

There is that but it's not formerly an ErgoDox. The main issue with that one is the choice of the controller.

I mean that's what I would think... They probably designed it to use feet as that it much cheaper for manufacturing.

Minus the front a HHKB is pretty darn blocky...

ya the bottom of the case has counter sunk holes in the back for feet to screw in and the massdrop listing says they come with the feet although they don't seem to have photos of them with feet or anything.

Massdrop always has almost good photos

No. the Asus Claymore is to be a new Keybaord and the Asus Spatha is supposed to be the mouse. Announced at CES this last May or June?

Orange and silver doesn't look too bad :)
Keyboard was used and keys had shine on them, so I had to make the keycaps blank.

Thanks :)

 

I'm not a fan of the wide shell of the Razer keyboard, but at least it's plain, so that's ok. Sanding the tops off the keycaps was some work though...

 

Yeh, had to avoid any potential scrutiny regarding the Macbook lol

My newest board: Zenith Z-150 with genuine SKCL Green Alps switches. If you are a linear switch lover prepare to die. The board is about 30 years old. Excellent condition, no rust, perfect switches and a nice looking (but yellow) exterior. @Charger you will enjoy this one :)
