I/O Sam

Who said it's only The Simpsons?

A nice homage to the (now mostly obsolete) Scroll Lock key (by @CORSAIR ). And also a tad bit educational, since most people today have no idea what this key was used for... corsair.com/us/en/explorer/g…

Damn it @DOSSTORM !!!

Found another surprising use for the "Scout Mode" of my 11 years old @CreativeLabs Sound Blaster ZX: clearing up garbled/boxy audio in online-calls/video-conferencing. This killed 90% of the digital "artifacting" from highly compressed audio, making voices that much clearer.

Was updating my @HP scanner Windows software (old version stopped working) when I saw this on the new EULA. I guess this is one more thing to look out for in EULAs now: giving up our driver/app use data for AI training (it lied about keeping data collection OFF by default BTW)...

Having fun like it's Y2K... Thanks to @geekenspiel for helping to bring back some good old memories (and to @lazygamereviews 🤘 for letting us know about it)!

Checking out the #artdeco inspired Percent Studio Platinum PT990 with some TX stabs, Prevail (R.I.P.) Nebula swiches, and some GMK Space Cadet R2 keycaps. 😙👌 youtu.be/3SiF-7Dfzg4

After a long break, I'm back with another video: youtu.be/jtTXFQVu60M. This one has been in the works for a loooong time! In this video I share a bit of my history with mechanical keyboards and go about modding the first ever 60% production keyboard to ship with a metal case.

Bought this pristine Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro a few weeks back, and was having fun with some 90’s games when @lazygamereviews came out with his review of this joystick on Friday. I was lucky to get it when I did (his videos can mess up the prices of vintage gear on eBay😅)…

As someone who had the opportunity to test @Glorious new Model O 2 for myself early on (and then review it), I felt like sharing my opinion on @LinusTech recent video about @randomfrankp collab with Pulsar, where Linus basically trashes the O 2... iosamfranco.com/post/ltt-vs-…

After years trying to get the same @Microsoft #IntelliMouse Explorer I used in the early 2000's to go with my now "retro" Windows 98 and XP machines... I finally got it (without breaking the bank)! Now off to scrub the rubberized coating goo off of its side grips...

Such a nice pre-show chat between @EdCrisler and the guys at @pcper (@sebastianpeak , @JoshDWalrath , @jeremyhellstrom & Brett). More of these on the horizon? Maybe a new Patreon exclusive series of chats like these??
