June Heat: Words, Strawberry Milk, and “Memoir of a Murderer”

I am writing this all down in the midst of drilling sounds and after finishing reading “Standing Firmly at 24” by Zhang Yixing/Lay Zhang of EXO. It’s been a weekend of waking up earlier than usual and running errands, but also of unwinding and finding more time doing what I love. The little things surprise me and I am grateful for it.

A List of Things: Mechanical Keyboards and Current Kdramas

This post brought to you by that languishing limbo where creativity and laziness intersect. Got insomnia? Try listening to a horror podcast that’s three hours long, narrated by someone with a mesmerizing voice. And said someone can lull to sleep even the best of the night owls around the world. (Make no mistake. The podcast is great and the narrator is good. I really enjoy it. You can listen to it here.)

Lately, I’ve been on the hunt for The Perfect Keyboard TM and it’s all thanks to my sister who made me aware that there are more to keyboards than I actually know about. I’ve been looking into different mechanical keyboards and I’ve settled with Akko 3068, pink switch. I’m not too crazy about loud clicky sounds, so the softer ones are perfect for me. Who knew the world of mechanical keyboards can be interesting? So far, here are some of the things I’ve discovered:

  • Keyboards come in different sizes, such as 65% and Tenkeyless (TKL).
  • Their backlight effects are awesome. (See video below.)
  • Different keyboards have different switches.
  • Different switches have different levels of loudness and they are categorized by colors.
  • Blue switch is loud; I know pink and orange are some of the less loud ones. Also red.
  • They also have the “silent” ones, though. Example: Cherry MX Silent Red and Gateron Silent Red and Black.
  • And lastly, two words: linear and tactile.

“To actuate a linear switch, you must push it all the way down, like a membrane key. To actuate a tactile switch, you usually push it about halfway down; you can continue pressing the key after that, but you can also take your finger off and move to the next key right away.”

You can even modify your mechanical keyboard! Swap all the keys with a completely new design or just pick a couple of keys to change. Doing that really gives your keyboard a more personal feel.
