[@georgew.9663]

I had subbed to you a while ago and lost a fair bit of interest in mechanical keyboards over that course of time, and so I stopped watching almost every one of your videos. This one made me watch it when I saw it, and this video is great. I love that calculator, personally I think it looks way better than the Ducky, and it’s pretty awesome. Maybe I’ll get this and build one for my birthday, it seems like a good thing to do as a first project to get into mechanical keyboards. Thanks for making this video :)
