No doubt LOL

actually, anyone that ever gets annoyed with ripster should take solace in the fact that he goes to the trouble of setting up litte lego dioramas and photographing them, just to make a joke about something for a single post, gotta be the very definition of forever alone

YES......the Great Geekhack Double-shot Group Buy 4 has finally posted the absolute, final no bullshit finish to this.

Absolute definite, finaliest, deadliest, deadline ever: 2012-03-31 (now for real)

From 7bit himself.

GAWD almighty........this has been the longest Group order ever. I've got 4 sets of beautiful caps that I want to use for my future Filcos/Leopolds.

As much as Topre's has it's advantages it still doesn't have the variety of key-caps available to it like the Cherry setup. I just want to see my babies fully customized before I pass from this world. The Retro, SPH and Round 3's will be my epitaphs for these wonderful keyboards.

Anyone else get a PM with an invitation to the dibs 4 sale?

[mehkat]

I did, but I also had dibs on this sale... and got an order in in time and got another dibs, so ... ?

anyway I thought you fucked off down the park

I did too but was in a cafe and checked and it was back up, so got an order in about 1.15

I noticed that as well. Talk about having heaps of time on his hand. But you have to respect his own determination that Geekhack is his domain.

He lives there. That seems to be his whole life. You can't begrudge him that. Anyone that seems so addicted to being on Geekhack to complain, tease and humiliate others goes to show what happens when you don't have a woman in your life.

I have seen heaps of his pics but it was only really recently (like yesterday) that I realised they were so specific to the post/thread that he was setting them up then and there, like he must have a light box or something with a load of lego ready to go

probably equal amounts of lame/cool I guess, depending on if you're feeling like liking the guy or getting annoyed, and it can go either way pretty easily

[Tycn]

He's married, with a son. As good a reason for escapism as any.

[mehkat]

and a perfect excuse to buy lego, my best mate has two young kids and the best thing about it is he can buy tons of lego and I get to play with it.

With the kids, of course

Just made an order for CM storm quickfire with brown switches. It should be a very welcome change for my family from my current Razer with blue switches lol.

I did this in the office. Oh yes, that was GLORIOUS.

Anyhow. Bought a new Razer Blackwidow Ultimate. I actually kinda like the font, despite how silly it is.

The blue switches are nice, it's a little loud when bottoming out but I'm actually getting a bit better at not bottoming out all the time, or as hard. And I'm nearly pumping out 100wpm without errors! (I'm at 89 at the moment, before with my logitech the best I could do is 75...)

The Corsair K60 was my other choice but they didn't have Backlit keys, did they? *Pout*

Haha...that sounds like a plan. An annoying weapon at my disposal.
