Good news: #JLCPLC have not stopped using blue cardboard boxes. 📦 💙

Bad news: I ordered the original version of this PCB, not the slightly improved version 🤦‍♂️

I guess that’s another DIY #MechanicalKeyboard achievement unlocked 😅

@pjacock looking through your photos I feel like we need to stage an intervention 🤣

@gedankenstuecke I honestly lost count recently and thought it was seven - but still "just" six #MechanicalKeyboard designs, https://codeberg.org/peterjc/pico-keyboards (but I did make a minor revision to three of them).

This only confirms your worries, doesn't it?

@pjacock "I can stop any time. Or at least if my job requires me to" 🤣

@gedankenstuecke 😅

I'll be good - no more new PCB designs or orders for at least a month?

[On a more seriously level, I have paid work to keep me busy again.]

It sounds like an excuse but this order was to replace my messed up board (flashed it with bad firmware, and was unable to get back to the boot loader as the fragile Xiao reboot button was physically broken) & a spare set for a guy in Denmark who'd tried to build it too... just as well the minimum order is a set of five PCBs, they can be tricky!

@pjacock I think I'm saved by living in a place where getting anything shipped to very hard 🤣
