How and why you should build your own mechanical keyboard

My colleague Jon Porter, who is across the pond in Verge International, has a video up today on how he made his first mechanical keyboard from scratch. He says words like "aluminium" in a British accent, schools us on how to pronounce "solder," and there's even a little ASMR section of the clickity-clack of a handcrafted, artisanal mechanical keyboard. It sounds great in the video, where it belongs, and not in an open-office plan. -Dami TODAY ON THE VERGE + Achieving mechanical keyboard end game + Explaining Section 230, the internet's most important and most misunderstood law + Google doesn't care that much about its tablets + Why swapping actors and shifting focus wasn't enough for Men in Black: International + What's in your bag, Big Gigantic? + Test-riding GM's first e-bikes on the streets of Amsterdam + Toy Story 4 lowers the stakes and ramps up the whimsy + Netflix is testing a pop-out, picture-in-picture mode for desktop + WWDC was Apple's time to shame the rest of the tech industry + VERGECAST: Facebook's Libra, Section 230 in jeopardy, and RCS in the hands of Google Facebook Twitter Instagram Podcasts This email was sent to clickkernews.latestnews@blogger.com.
