I’ve never taken apart a Topre board, but looking at this video video, I’d say it was doable. Fiddly, maybe, but then again, so is opening up every switch on an MX board, too. Take your time, be gentle, pay close attention to what you’re doing… You’re probably going to be fine.

Fellow Microserver haver, here! Mine did get a Xeon and RAM boost and has been my everything server for years now.

For QMK, my go-to hrm-embetterment came from Achordion. Not sure if that helps OP, but it made hrm amazing for me, and it does the sort of timing tweaks that might help here.

Otherwise, the HOLD_ON_OTHER_KEY_PRESS mode might help.

Same here, so unless something is fully open source, self hostable and preferably federating, I’m not picking it up.

Before opening up or resoldering any switches, I’d short the two pins with something (tweasers or similar) to confirm or rule out the switch itself as the cause.

They don’t, officially, as far as I know it’s always been an “at your own risk, might get your account banned” endeavor.

No, problem not solved, problem half-heartedly worked around. People dislike Discord for several reasons, bridging it to whatever different platform will at best be a bandaid.

That looks great! How do you like the melodics?

Just looking at it makes me wonder why you’d consider the thumb placement that strange (although all hands are different and all that). What was off about it for you?

You gotta love the copy on the Warp site. As for why they’re now launching it on Linux:

Despite this, Linux has relatively few terminal options compared to Mac and Windows

…relatively few? Really?

Eh, the split part is easy, it’s the lack of row stagger that’s going to trip you up for at least a couple of days.

You do get used to it, though, and after that a “normal” keyboard will feel as weird as it actually is, when you think about it.
