OpenHand replied to ChiMot on Aftershokz Aeropex Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones $199.20 Delivered @ Microsoft
I think they can't really do it - due to the mechanism of the sound (delivered via your cheekbones) they need a strap which has a constant...

OpenHand commented on Anne Pro 2 Bluetooth Type-C RGB Mechanical Keyboard US$64.99 (~A$84.29) AU Stock Delivered @ Banggood
For anyone thinking of getting this. I really wish I got a 65% instead of 60 - miss those arrow keys even when they're on a Fn layer.

Uniqlo. No logos, great basics. Quality varies, e.g. a thick jumper will always lost longer than the thin stuff they sell. Ethically, it's...

Wonderful case. But note it will struggle to fit anything over a 3070 (and you need to double check those too).
