Thockies and gentleclacks
After years of chasing an unattainable goal
Endgame
I remember being a smaller younger individual once, a spectator to a greater conflict. The great grand thockoff of 2022 to 2023. I remember a certain creator that generally tends to associate with the name Flur "do-didgery" ples. And I remember when they dropped the now infamous video "this keyboard should not sound this good".
And right then and there I knew.... that I needed that keyboard.
Except one slight issue. I'm lazy and didn't want to go through the effort of recreating a peice of cardboard with switches on it.
Fast forward to december of 2025 and I am sitting in my room dying as all sociable adults do whilst Browsing shop.com, untill I came across a listing for this.
Mini nova 2. A keyboard near identical in layout to the flurples keyboard
Naturally as a as a bored 19 year old keyboard enthusiast. I was interested, and by interested I mean I rushed to my nearest internet browser, slammed in the website, and mashed in my bank account details, and sat waiting patiently for the board to arrive
why is it not here yet?
waits faster
Fast forward to about a week ago (Canada post is an incredible delivery service) I finnsly receive the board and immediately set to work on recreating the flurples keyboard with it and... It sounds nothing like the flurples keyboard.
Lesson learned, don't try to mimic greatness.
The specs: Mini nova 2 with cherry Boba frankenswitches and a Boba cream spacebar for effect.
