So, about the new keyboard, a red switch FILCO Majestouch 3 Ninja with custom case. It is gorgeous!!
Keycaps are nebula themed Dye Sublimation PBT. Put on the purple case, fit perfectly.
Thought about blue switch but it is really annoying when playing game with mic.
Well... enough chatting, and it's time to take the train!

  2-1
⇧ 4-1
⇧ 3-9
  2-9
  1-1

So the puzzle ends, I mean the puzzles... Yes, there's two in here!
The first one, the most solved one, is keyboard thing.
It's quite simple, just count from the top left of keyboard(1-1 = 1, 2-1 = q, 3-1 = a...) and ⇧ or shift mean upper case!
I'm sure we all know that QWERTY layout is most popular, even if you are not using it, just google it and check the layout.

The second one, is the old school words counting aka book cipher.
The key is the post itself, and follow the instructions:
  2-1 means 2nd line and 1st word and lower case-> keycap
⇧ 4-1 means 4th line and 1st word and upper case -> well
Get all 5 words and pick the first letter and it's done!

While I decided to use keyboard as puzzle, i was little worry that it'll be too hard to solve.
So i come up with the second puzzle, which was my first thought when I saw the number pairs.
I didn't expect that most people go for the first not the second puzzle, the keyboard hint is too strong!

Two puzzles in the same time is probably too aggressive.
It make people think they have solved the puzzle, or i should hint more clearly there's another one.
It's also difficult to track how many people actually solved the both puzzle. Maybe I'll use sgtools next time.

Hope you enjoy the puzzle, see you next time!

bump for aaaah, I messed up the puzzle and spent way longer than I should have. I blame my keyboard for typing the wrong thing since it's clearly inferior versus yours.

Wow. That's is beautiful keyboard! Reminds me of an arcade I used to go to.

I use a Ducky One 3 TKL myself.
I have a couple custom keycaps on it, It has mostly Cherry Brown Switches, I replaced the WSAD with Cherry Reds and a few other with heavier versions of Cherry Browns.

As far as mic noise, get a directional microphone. That helps a lot.

You can still hookup your new KB to your laptop.

I use my Keychron K3 low profile optical red with bluetooth om my main pc, and switch over to my laptop with a simple keystroke (max 3 devices), no problem, no wires. Think outside the box

Oh i know that but I really couldn't justify the expense. I have a controller and I rarely play with my keyboard so that would be a waste of money and space just to have a pretty keyboard.
One day I will build myself a proper desktop... one day...

That'll come in handy!
I am not hardware-minded so I'm mostly learning right now, while I wait for my budget to allow a decent build so it looks like a great way to examine various builds and learn from them in the meantime.
