[Keyboard Rabbit Hole] Daiso's "that thing" was perfect for tenting. \Bonus included/

Hello, I'm Emu.
Thank you for reading this article!

Emu: "Everyone, are you tenting?"

Keyboard enthusiast: "What's tenting?"

☑ What is tenting

Emu: "There are many general-purpose products, but you won't know if they fit your current keyboard until you actually try them... I thought that was too risky, so I went around to various Daiso stores. And then, finally..." This time, I will introduce a door stopper (?) for tenting that I found at Daiso.

Introduction

Welcome to the keyboard rabbit hole.

Yes, I have finally dipped my toes into custom keyboards. The destination that keyboard lovers eventually reach. A bottomless rabbit hole filled with madness and chaos. I said it like that, but for me, it's a utopia. I don't need anything else anymore. Just being there makes me feel happy.

This is a note where I will write down how I customize my custom keyboard and how I fall deeper into the rabbit hole. (Along with my inner voice) I would be happy if you could watch over me until the end...

Daiso Door Stopper DOS-1

Emu: "This is it! I was overjoyed with this."

☑ Specs

• Product size: 3cm x 3cm x 12cm

• Contents: 1 piece

• Material: TPE resin, magnet

• Angle: Probably around 20°

I use four of these and stick them to the back of the keyboard body. Double-sided tape also sold at Daiso is fine. The model number is also cool, DOS-1.

I actually tried tenting

Emu: "Hehehe... this is the best~🤤"

First of all, the appearance has been significantly updated. I think the angle is around 20°. The height is 3cm, which is just right. Also, it's easier to type with a wrist rest. I love using Side3. The size is 81mm wide x 81mm long x 2mm high. I recommend it because it can be used with keyboards other than split ones, and it's both functional and looks great on a desk.

Operability has improved dramatically!!

Emu: "It's become incredibly comfortable!"

Twisting your wrists inward seems to be ergonomically stressful. Certainly, the EM05 NL, designed with a 62° tilt angle, is comfortable to operate. However, personally, I feel that 20° or so is the limit for a keyboard.

There is no wobbling or slipping. It's about 1cm short in length, but it doesn't affect typing. I also feel like there's a slight change in the typing feel. (Vibration is reduced, and the bottoming-out feel has improved)

Gadgets that were candidates

What I considered were universal tilt legs for laptops and the like. I would need four of them, so it would cost nearly 3,000 yen. The design and materials are solid, so I actually wanted to try using off-the-shelf products, but this time I went with Daiso.

Emu: "It feels right in the end, so it's OK."

Finally

It's worth trying various things.

To all you custom keyboardists, please, I beg you not to buy them all up... (Though I think it'll be fine)

>>A few days later.

DAISO: "Huh? Recently, the Door Stopper DOS-1 has been selling like crazy, and there's no stock in stores or the online shop!? What's going on..."

Clack clack... (Sound of typing on a keyboard)

DAISO: "Perfect for tenting split keyboards!? What on earth is going on! The way it's being used is bizarre! Who is it? EmuLog..."

Emu: "Oh..."

Will the DOS-1 be heavily modified for tenting? (Just kidding)
