That’s fair, if you’re just looking for RGB control and don’t care about mechanical switches or macro keys and stuff, then I would check out what @JTheFox@lemmy.world said about openrgb and see what works and is a decent price.

I’m partial to corsair right now, and have had Razer stuff in the past. Both are fine, though still probably (at least slightly) overpriced for what you get. Either way, I don’t think you’ll regret any of the big makers.

Keyboards in general? Or RGB keyboards? I think all keyboards work fine for core functionality. It depends on what you are looking for out of a “gaming” keyboard. The big makers mostly have alternative software to program rgb and re-keybinds for keys as far as I’ve seen. I know corsair has a good alt software for both binds and rgb, Razer obviously from this post, and I think steelseries has one but can’t remember off the top of my head

I have a mix of a roubo and an anarchist bench. I use the leg vise way more than I ever thought I would, and bench dogs are king for me. The tail vise gets a fair amount of use too. I didn’t add a sliding deadman to mine, and I regret it (I have some dog holes in the right leg, but want some closer for smaller stuff). Its my first bench, so I’ve learned a bit making it as well as using it, so maybe in 5 years I’ll make an updated one (which should go easier since I’d have a bench to build the bench on lol)

This is super late (just found this community). I’d be curious if you had some of the quirks that I’ve had.

No sound periodically, mostly only goes away after shutting off and parking for 10+ minutes.

The trunk sensor hates getting used, and also generally is sluggish when hitting the button on the key fob (also stopped opening one day and had to get forced open before the buttons to auto close/open would work again.

After coming up to the car sometimes after it goes to sleep, it doesn’t unlock for like 5+ tries. It also sometimes goes to sleep or something to where the app won’t connect.

Yeah, that’s exactly it. Even if is made of saw dust, it’s (at least in part) real wood in some sense. I would agree that’s nonsense.

Yeah, when I build stuff, I always just say the timber it’s made out of, but I was talking with someone about an old dresser. They mentioned it was “solid wood”, but the case was made out of an old press board. Which led to this question. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t confused.

Someone else may be, but I was/am genuinely curious as to what others thought. I have a pretty “purist” view myself and wanted to see if I was in the minority or not.

My journey into it started as I was getting out of religion. Listening to debates about religion had several general philosophy references, so I read about those topics. I had some conversations with a buddy claiming “that’s Marxist, that’s Socialist” whatevers, and I wanted to learn what those things actually meant and why they scared so many people etc. Basically me not meshing with the ideological beliefs of my peers sent me down some deep rabbit holes lol.

I don’t know if this was to point out that a file is iron and that can sharpen stuff, but I’d like to point out that files are generally made from a tool steel alloy that is formulated to be quite a bit harder than iron/standard steels after it gets properly heat treated. Files aren’t just “iron” and there’s a lot of different steels that do different things.
