Sorry at 83 I am not that competent with computers so can't post photos, however you will find that I bought at Hobbyking.com
I'm guessing it'll be this one then:

Really tempted to get back into RC... Last RC I had was a raptor 30 helicopter with a futaba controller that used crystals : )

Very frivolous! It will cost 10 times what it cost but worth it!

My toddler poured a pint of water over and fried my previous keyboard.

Does £190 for a keyboard count as frivolous? laugh
I got one of those for £158. biggrinbiggrin

No one likes people who do this.

Just be enthusiastic.

Why go in half hearted... get yourself a GMMK Pro... they are lovely to use:

If the toddler isn't now becoming Harry Potter by living in the cupboard under the stairs - frivolous.
I was going to put him under myself but his mother is scarier than any troll or ogre Harry Potter might encounter!

Was it with the ogx switches or the red? I had option for the red which made it a bit cheaper but went for the ogx.

Tbf I have a model O mouse just for use with my cctv monitor which was pretty frivolous too considering what it’s used for!

The pro looks amazing and I managed to get a custom one up to $500 on their website but I need a full size

I have an Eco 8, fully upgraded, can carry a dslr, but it's mostly just an ornament now, as I have a drone. Last flown during lockdown as I had time to practice again. Huge motor in it that just fits the frame

Probably worth not a lot now, everythings moved on significantly. They are difficult to fly.
I think I've still go a busted Picolo we used to fly indoor in the warehouse at work when learning

There's none of this simple flying with them, for every input you then have to take it off, I mostly use a DJI now.

That vampire RC plane looks good though

I got a deal on a barebones GMMK a while back and it was only $80.

Of course, with the Crystal Violet switches and keycaps it worked out at $270.

Finally got round to assembling this:




Obviously need a Mortal Kombat cabinet to match, but will wait for the Deluxe version of the Arcade1Up cab (current 'Legacy' version has a poor screen).

Apologies, just looked, mine was the K70. With low profile switches.
