"That's a great keyboard...FOR ME TO POOP ON."
I'm done buying stuff with batteries unless it's necessary. I bought this thing in 2022, and now I have two options: a) take the battery out, in which case it will lose its custom Linux profile, or b) live on the edge and risk a fire in my studio.
I need it to remember profiles to be functional for me, so I'm replacing it with a wired Keychron that I think will suit me. I guess I'll remove the battery and save it as an extra keyboard.
@alisynthesis I constantly worry about my Novation Circuit Tracks doing this with its internal batt. Sure, I can figure a fix out, but **I shouldn't have to.**

@ozzelot it's kinda crazy, huh? I honestly can't imagine ever using a piece of critical music gear without plugging it in anyway. I know people like using their shit on a train or whatever, but I live in New Hampshire. We don't have trains.

@alisynthesis At least the Faderport is still getting the job done.

@alisynthesis I had one for years, but retired it for a Steinberg CC121 when Cubase became my first choice DAW over Pro Tools.

Okay, the Keychron keyboard I got on sale to replace this bulging-battery POS is comically heavy.
Also very satisfyingly clicky, thank goodness. I guess this blue is not a popular color, but I think it's freaking awesome. I sincerely hope to use this keyboard until the day I die. (on which day I sincerely hope not to be typing.)

And note that it's wired only, so it's this heavy with no battery in it. That's just the case and the mechanics. When I pulled the box out of the mailbox, I was so confused at the weight.

@alisynthesis My son has a Keychron for his gaming PC and swapped the keycaps a few times before settling on a cool red and black theme some years ago. It is satisfyingly clicky for sure.

@NigelTufnel I like the idea that I can satisfy my unending need for change by just changing out the keycaps.

@alisynthesis It’s a beauty! And you can use it to bludgeon anyone who might try to take it.

@alisynthesis it’s the best feature of mechanical keyboards, isn’t it? That and they are built like tanks plus you get to learn about dialectic grease

@alisynthesis I mean, the keyboard looks sweet and all, but I'm just admiring those scales! Apparently available at https://digital-scales-company.co.uk/kitchen-scales/my-weigh-kd8000-professional-bakers-percentage-kitchen-scale-8kg-x-1g for a mere £35.
Mains powered:
If only they went down to 0.1g accuracy…

@troublewithwords ha! Reminds me of a song that has the honor of being hooky, creepy, quirky, funny, and sad all at once.

@NigelTufnel exactly! clearly the cheap entry level one i had was not the real deal! (I know Mechanical Keyboard People probably think Keychron is entry level, but they are in a cult.)

@miblo it's a great scale! It does percentages and everything. I got it a couple of years ago when I started making bread and I honestly don't know how I ever lived without a kitchen scale. I weigh stuff all the time now.

@alisynthesis i've got 3 Keychrons now - 2 at home, 1 at work. all slim keys, mechanicals. all plenty of weight for their size but i'm sure not near as chunky as that beast you've got there.
