I guess this is becoming a series now.
Keyboard keeps not responding while doing art? Destroy it in your parking lot in a fit of rage and turn it into art instead.

Would anyone here be interested in Crucial Ballistix 16 (8x2) GB DDR4 RAM @ 3000 MHz / CL15 ?
I wanna give this away for the shipping costs only (continental USA). So probably less than $5 if within the USA.
I don't own the original packaging anymore; it'll be shipped out in anti-static bags and some additional protection as needed.
It still functions just fine, I just wanted to upgrade my rig is all.
Please feel free to reblog, I just want these to go to someone in need! ^_^
And feel free to reach out to me via DMs if you're unfamiliar with computers and aren't even sure if you can use this. I can try to walk you through the process of figuring out if you can.

So I kept getting in trouble for how loudly I type on my old keyboard...
Which was partly due to HOW I type (like a gaggle of pecking jackhammers), and the keyboard itself which was designed to make a nice clackity clackity while typing.
(unavailable, so no link)
So I did a little digging around for quieter keyboards, focusing on gaming keyboards because streamers like to have quiet keys these days, and settled on this Razor keyboard which was affordable for me.
Which is here: https://amzn.to/3x9dhw1
And yeah, it’s quieter. More of a tackatacka than clackity clackity (sad).
Also sad is that yeah, I am more of a PC gamer than console, but I haven’t had a PC that can run games in a very long time so I can’t say how well this one works for gaming. I had also thought my old keyboard was broken because it would duplicate the letter “i” often, but the Cynosa does it, too, so it must be me.
It also has lots of nice color changing options which I had to sign up for a service to be allowed to control (?????) which also allows me to put my keyboard settings on a cloud server to use on any device (????? the hell? I don’t want that....) but anyway.
A secondary feature I was looking for, which both keyboards above have, is spillproofing/washability.
I am clumsy and I often eat and craft at my computer. I also almost always have a drink nearby, so a keyboard that’s not going to die if I spill was critical.
-
The Cynosa Chroma isn’t difficult to clean, but it was getting kind of tedious having to shake crumbs out now and then because I drop stuff a LOT, and also when I eat noodles, I somehow end up with little dots of soup EVERYWHERE (clumsy!!!) and those were a little more annoying to clean off.
So I thought it would be easier to just get a cover!
which is here, and is about $12: https://amzn.to/3I58Qcc
I have NO idea whether the Chroma I have is the 1.0 or 2.0, nor do I know the difference between the two, but I did have a little trouble finding a cover. It’s kind of old.
This one, the listing states over and over to make sure you’re buying for the correct keyboard.
I agonized over that for over an hour (anxiety woo!) before being convinced that yes, this was the right keyboard for the cover and placing my order.
Now, I have a feeling people kept buying this for the wrong keyboard (US version has a different shape to some keys than every other version because we have to be special I guess) and then leaving negative feedback or demanding refunds based on all of the warnings to make sure you’re getting the right cover from the seller and because they emailed me and asked me if I was sure it was the right cover for my keyboard before they were willing to send it.
To make sure there were 0 misunderstandings I sent them a photo of my keyboard.
Anyway.
It did take some getting used to using the cover because it feels different (silicone vs hard plastic) and it muffles the key sounds a little more (booooo), but it is infinitely easier to clean than the keyboard was because crumbs and bits can’t escape down under the keys.
I just pull it off onto the desk pad and wipe it well with a Clorox wipe, but it can be washed, too.
It does also kind of dull the view of the lights and plastic but they’re still visible. The ease of cleaning was more important than appearance for me.
