  • I think the special feature about the Das keyboard is probably the media controls, so finding a replacement/similar build should be easy :)

    Ah, that’s just it: mine doesn’t have those! Back when I got this, just having mechanical keyswitches was the special feature. I’ve watched in absolute awe as the scene has exploded, but I’m very much behind on what the state of the art is. The biggest tech-y enhancement this one has over the switches is a two-port USB hub that I plug my mouse, and occasionally a thumb drive or other USB controller into.

    I’ll look into those switch recommendations but honestly the pre-built boards are going to end up being where I go. Given how long I’ve used the Das, do you know if there’s a standout for solid build quality in the sub-200 range? That’s where the Das would be anyway



  • Nebula is great in comparison, and apparently video creators make even more money from Nebula views than YouTube Premium views, which is already a lot more than ad-supported views.

    Nebula’s content base is small in comparison but very quickly growing and already includes most of the longer-form video creators I would want anyway (Jenny Nicholson is one notable exception, but her Patreon channel is wildly successful so I sort of doubt she feels like torpedoing that to do a whole new platform).

    But frankly, if I paid what I pay for Nebula and only got Jet Lag, it would still be worth it to me.
