What did you do today?

I personally don't like browns either. The Kalih Coppers don't have that big of a bump. Have you tried Cherry MX Clears? A lot of people like Zealios, but I prefer Cherry MX Clears, then Zealios for tactile switches.
Depending on which type of ALPS switches, look at the ALPS64.

I got a Magicforce with some form of blues (don't remember the brand, but might have been Gateron), and I had to install O-Rings to make the sound level bearable.
Piggybacking off this, I got a few 1u keys today from NPKC that were missing for my BananaSplit build. So now I only need to wait for the PCB and my printer to print out a plate for the thing, so it's pretty much complete 
Oh and I spent the entire day working on the Iris 16 firmware prototype. 3 Hours of this were lost to a bug that was caused by me not knowing how to do array subscription on 2D arrays in progmem properly. Fucking hell, programming can be so frustrating.

I haven't even figured out part of the RGB for the IS31FL3733, it's going to be a long time before anything gets done...Piggybacking off this, I got a few 1u keys today from NPKC that were missing for my BananaSplit build.

Definitely. Working with custom hardware configurations makes it even worse, because it's next to impossible to be sure if the fault is in the hardware or the software.
I have not tried those switches unfortunately. No local meetups yet.
Back when Apple's quality matched their design.

Argh, apparently friday something bit my leg and now I have something typical to an insect bite. I think it was a yellow or beige spider about 20mm long. It only started to become a bother about 24 hours later. So I've been switching ice-packs, taking anti-infection pain killers and keeping my leg up.
Right before I installed a dash cam in my new car, and applied some "gap molding" or "interior trim" . I think it looks OK, it detracts from some lines that are not so good-looking.
Can you spot the dashcam ?
Gaudy or just right ? I'm still undecided.
Don't mind the previous owner's elbow indent.

Looks pretty swell to me.
It's a shame clears aren't more readily available. I will probably get them in a 70% for my next board. After I rip my full size board (MX Browns) from its filthy plastic housing and make it a nice wooden one.
Oh, no, I'm trying...Then get to it

I still love my Ducky Shine 5 RGB keyboard with Cherry MX Nature White (linear fan here).
My future keyboard, many years from now, will likely be a Topre RGB though, hopefully a nice 70% will come out by then.

Today is another day without my main online community running.... Bit-Tech.net has been offline since last Wednesday for a forum upgrade to XenForo, which I thought would take a couple of days tops. Seemingly not
Thank goodness for this place; as I am missing what's going on with builds, what people are up to and what's on the market place.
I hope it's back soon

I left Bit-Tech years ago as they were very LFF focused, and the community shunned anything not ATX, watercooled and sleeved.
Happily, IMHO times have changed, and SFF is making inroads into B-T. There is still plenty of watercooling, LED/RGB action and monster cases though...
That said, I have been made welcome there; and have had the pleasure of actually meeting a few of the guys who are local and semi local.
That makes a difference, and helped the community feel IMHO. There is a fair bit of banter and also generosity with helping other members with parts and spares.
Finally, the B-T marketplace is fairly vibrant for used kit (I only buy SSDs new these days, and pretty much run an 'Always Second Hand' policy) and is safe and reasonably priced.
