LGR Oddware - Plawa KeyStik
Added 2022-04-18 23:21:02 +0000 UTCFresh Oddware! This time we've got the KeyStik (and Garage) from Plawa-feinwerktechnik, a contraption from the late 1990s that clips onto a keyboard's arrow keys and provides a little joystick. With magnets and springs! I've been itching to talk about one of these things for ages, ever since seeing vague low-res photos floating online of various versions of this device. And after I tried out a somewhat similar and far worse version of the same idea over on LGR Blerbs a while back, I was stoked to finally have the chance to try out this one thanks to a generous donation recently.
And yep, that's this episode! Classic, simple, and hopefully enjoyable Oddware. Which worked out nicely for me since I'm knee-deep in repairs, renovations, and upgrades on the new house and time is at a premium. Heh. To say the least. New paint, new roof, appliances, lights, home security, cameras, windows, shelving, ethernet runs, the whole nine yards. Oh and yard stuff too, I have a proper yard now. Lots to do over the next month and a half-ish as I prepare the new place for moving day. Super exciting but super tiring. And I haven't even started really moving anything yet, ahh! Other than a single table of computers in one of the rooms because I couldn't help myself.
I hope to have one more video done this month, but we'll see how this next week goes. If nothing else, $5+ patrons can expect the next LGR Wrap Up episode as the month comes to a close, and I'm sure I'll have a Blerb or two put together as well as I find the time. Thank you so much for your ongoing support, it is hugely appreciated!

I was hoping to comment this on your latest video so you're more likely to see it but looks like I'd need to be on the $7 tier! Regardless, this is pretty exciting https://archive.org/details/duke-nukem-forever-2001-x-0r-jmp ...someone compiled the 2001 Duke Nukem forever somehow!

2022-04-21 23:45:44 +0000 UTC"Thanks! They’re fun but I try not to overdo ‘em :)" - I don't think that's possible!

2022-04-21 22:50:57 +0000 UTCHAHAHA!! You made me laugh so hard multiple times, had to rewind and listen again and again and again. "CONSTRUCTIONS?!" 🚧 very relatable. Please keep all outtakes/errors/bloopers, it just adds to the whole.... anyways, thanks Clint, you really made my day. /Jim from Sweden

2022-04-21 22:48:53 +0000 UTChaha, I had one of those, well in a different design. I used it once or twice I think. It was soooo bad :D Maybe it is still in some box at my parents place. Will have a look when I am there next time ^^
2022-04-20 08:46:59 +0000 UTCI remember we had such a weird contraption when I was a kid, but I could never get used to it.

2022-04-20 07:30:24 +0000 UTCSo this stupid thing is not stupid at all. When you showed us the inner workings of it I was surprised about the complexity.

2022-04-19 23:25:46 +0000 UTCGreat video Clint! Weren't you afraid your keys would get all "sticky"? I'll get my coat...
