Got a new keyboard.

Works surprisingly well, and also works with other crap like I'm currently using it with Windows 11 to type this post, and it also works well with modern Android.

So a while ago I showed you cats these silly little analog stick covers for my PS Vitas. Now I have them on all 4 hacked Vitas, colors matching the unit itself. Negligible but cute and goofy. Also, the actual "paws" themselves are RAISED off of the black surrounding,, so these things actually give me a better thumb grip than just the standard black ones, and I own several sets of those...

Edit: I went to pick up the order, and they told me it was a pricing error and should have been more expensive. They said I would have to pay more for the order if I want it. I told them I wasn't going to pay for their mistake. I don't usually get angry (more annoyed than angry) about things like that, but I paid for the order with my credit card through PayPal and paid off the card immediately. So now I'm going to have extra money on my credit card, and if I transfer it back to my debit, I'll have to pay cash advance fees. So basically I'm just giving my credit card company free money at this point.

Bought more supplies for the shed I'm building (roof shingles and more screws). I ordered six 4" pot lights for it and two Ethernet wall plates with Cat6 female-to-female RJ45 keystones to bring Ethernet inside the shed for me.

The shed is going to be my hobby workshop (I guess?) for me to build my model kits and airbrush them. I also plan on building a new PC for it and getting a 3D printer in it (still not sure what to get). I'm setting up the Ethernet with a port on the outside of the shed, just under the roof (so it's protected from the weather) because this way, if the cable is damaged, I can replace it easily. I only need 4 of the 6 pot lights but it was cheaper buying the six. The other 2 can be as backup or if my sister wants them.

And 25,000 rounds.

I'm trippin BALLS.

That looks like a FLESHLIGHT on STEROIDS. It even has a trigger...and a stand. Probably not the best thing to SHOWCASE when your rich parents come over to judge your new girlfriend.

Logitech K400 keyboard/touch pad combo, been doing maintenance on PC based arcade games for a friend and wanted an all in one solution.

Logitech makes great products. Using a keyboard & mouse from Logitech that are fucking ANCIENT. I just can't replace them as there is no need too...

Here's a few of those Super Nintendo World (Osaka) items I mentioned above. Please excuse my mangled thumb - minor mishap with a saw while doing some yardwork.

These "watches" are worn while in the park for access to attractions or something like that.

TUF Gaming Router AX4200. I was using a AC1750 rated router as a wireless bridge.

Now i just gotta get an AX5400 router also from ASUS to replace the AX1500 router from TP-Link in the living room, since it would also let me experiment with mesh WiFi.

Oh to add on this, i got a second one to replace the main router in the living room which was a AX1500 rated router from TP-Link.

Its all AX4200 in the house and its finally allowing me to do wireless VR as well! Before that it would end up lagging.

So I just got one of these in today - this is the new Flex Circuit with all new circuitry and new buttons for a controller on my Atari 5200. Some of the buttons are a bit stiff, so I thought I'd try my luck with one of these.

Hopefully this will clear things up, but if not, then the motherboard either needs to be replaced or repaired. Here's hoping this'll work!!!

And I now know how to post a reply without all of the daisy-chaining...

i have that set too
be careful
they're kinda soft, hard screws are difficult to loosen with them are likely to bend the screwdriver
i got an ifixit-screwdriver-set recently, way better, but more expensive

@The_Dizzy_Vizzy Nope! It's an action camera, and I'm going to film boat races

The 360° view solves a lot of problems I have with regular GoPro-style cameras, this one doesn't need a gimbal and I don't have to keep it pointed at things of interest manually, I can just stick it on a... well, stick, and wave it around. Or tie it to the mast and forget about it.
When I found it at 50% off, I had to buy it.

Yesterday, I walked through a discount store called "Dealz4Less", a store chock full of overstocked amazon stuffs and got curious. All items were $15 regardless of product on the table (price changes everyday, with Wednesday all $1), except on their shelves so I started rummaging on whatever interests me. Luckily, I nabbed a Gulikit KingKong 3 Max and a mechanical keyboard. No returns though so YMMV.

I opened both items and they are complete even though the box is a little beaten up on the keyboard. The controller works fine, BUT the right shoulder button felt loose and isn't making contact with the button inside so I'll take apart the controller after this post (and lunch) and see if I'll make some magic with it.

EDIT: Just finished testing the controller and all works well. I just had to slip in a small folded piece of paper in between the button to where it is pressed at, gave it a few test clicks unless it slides out. Also paired it with Switch and tried it on a few games, all clear.

Ordered a knockoff Lego kit for myself. I was checking to see if the Zelda Lego kits had come out yet, and I saw a knockoff Lego kit for the Hyrule Guardian. It was cheap ($10). It's coming tonight.

So i got a universal stand for my 8 inch monitor for work but am I missing something here??? The head doesn't fit the stand and unsure if it's missing a part! Even if I remove the top bit of the stand it doesn't look it will fit or sit properly. Seller is not replying yet but I'm stumped!!

Also what's up with the 'add image' option?? Wont give me the usual options! Is anything working as it should today??


Edit... I figured it out! Yay me...
