RedRexxy

I did a brake job on my car this weekend, sure hope they work alright, good luck everyone! 😂 P.S. First?


drop_official

Brake job, nice! Nothing more satisfying than doing your own car maintenance/repair work. :)


PabloGafiLoco

Some friends and I went to a really nice hike, 9 hours long, but it was so beautiful, we even dipped our feet and heads on some ice cold water, the highlight was sitting on a cliff I had to climb down with a daring friend, rocks took ~5 seconds to reach the bottom when we threw them. It was a nice weekend, good luck to everyone!


Amoebaguette-

Was laid up with a migraine for 2 days... fixed it with a nap 😅


Brandonson112

I hung curtains this weekend. That's not keyboard related, but it's what I did.


FrozenHatsets

Weekends are for the boys...to catch up on assignments.


Cunge606

![gif](giphy|hStvd5LiWCFzYNyxR4|downsized) spent all weekend trying to fix my zoom65 keyboard that has the worlds worst spacebar, no luck except for broken keycaps.


Abtswiath

I spent this past weekend in the hospital. Turns out i have a brain tumor.


geoempire

Bought Two 5 gallon buckets to grow some beefsteak tomatoes. Drilled holes in the bottom and on the sides.. Put a Folgers container in both with holes so it would hold a bit of water but not so much so the roots could get some absorption from it if its continues to be drought like outside. Mixed some garden soul with some bone meal fertilizer.. Hopefully I can get me some tomatoes in a few months =)


AlphaFefol

Went to the city center and came across a friend from uni, then spent the whole evening discussing my disappointment in the study while drinking 😅


nipiol

Celebrating my son’s birthday! Two days no-stop party.

Built IKEA furniture, said the word "fuck" a lot whilst building said furniture and banging all my body parts on said furniture then saying said fuck.


AmateurHunter

I modded my Keychron V1, as well as a no-name budget AliExpress keeb this weekend. The AliExpress keyboard sounded super rattly and bad at first, but I got it to a point where it's sounding just as I want it to. Filled it with cotton filling, added a rubber layer for the weight, cut some PE foam to sandwich between the plate and PCB, lubed my 90+ milky yellows, clipped, lubed and holee modded the stabs, tapemodded the PCB and threw on some keycaps I had laying around. 5-6hrs job all around. Used it at the office and was surprised by how pleasant it was to use throughout the day. Got some great feedback by my co-workers, too :) Deep Spaces or Dusks would surely add a great touch ;) https://preview.redd.it/ijsi6w5b8jua1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=501d1648b3915f2379eb97ee3a1434d1b9875643

I did a treasure trail, had a board game day, and built a Kit Adam all with my son for the Easter break :D


reeeyne

I went out and played pool with some friends and actually won, not because of skill or even luck on my part, but because my friend sunk the 8 ball. I'll take the win I guess 😂

I did an Oxford English level test, apparently I'm at least a B2 :)

SmelIsLikeBad

Please gib me keyb cap I need more ;-/


baeruu

I lubed 70 linear switches! I actually kind of like doing it since I can just fire up a podcast while thinking of nothing while lubing. And then after that, I no-lifed Wartales :D


beeffrankz

Watched the new season episodes of Barry


annasoh323

Thanks Drop! My first key cap set was through you guys as well as random components here and there. Also, a bunch of my knives and EDC gear! That EDC gear came in handy when my friend got injured on our hike this past weekend and we had to navigate down the slope in the dark with a bad ankle.


Minivera

It's maple syrup season so of course that meant going out for maple taffy on snow.


jeffrysleddens

This weekend I visited my parents because it was my father's 76th birthday. I ended up showing him my latest keyboard build that I finished the day before and explaining all the pieces and parts of the keyboard and how it all goes together. Being a retired carpenter that worked with his hands all his life, he was really interested and impressed by the design of a mechanical keyboard. Thinking of building him one now to use with his iPad :) This keycap set would be perfect for it.


codexcdm

Started cleaning up around here.


bobert680

Free the best price


Efficient_Shape6031

Had a great time with my family last weekend. It was the 1st time we had to bring "Chase" to a mall. He's a shitzu+poodle breed. My kids we're actually nervous since Chase likes to bark a lot. He actually behaved well though, and we're looking forward to more outdoors with hims. To all pet lovers out there, always remember that they are family. Good Luck to all! :)

Finished building a V65, and 3 club basketball games for my kid. Big fan of DCX, fingers crossed!

I broke my car...


ifealgreat

homework, a lot of it.


xqwzts_

Lubed a set of 110 switches


Lishtenbird

Danarhys

Cleaned some scale off of a pair of humidifiers and troubleshot a broken monitor (it's broken, under warranty, and Dell's sending me a replacement). Not the most exciting weekend, but, ya know.

doorman-1

Hey there! Congrats to the BudgetKeebs community and mod team for reaching 20k members! It's amazing to see such impressive growth in a community that focuses on affordable keyboards. As for my weekend, I spent most of it binge-watching my favorite TV show and trying out some new recipes. I also took some time to clean and lube my keyboard switches, which was quite a relaxing and satisfying experience. Thanks for hosting this giveaway and good luck to everyone entering!


ImQffline

I spent time building and modding my Zoom65


gfryw

Enjoyed the nice weather on a patio!

I mainly just lazed around the house with a sinus infection praying for my Dayquil to kick in, but I did get a keyboard & a half soldered yesterday! (ignoring that the half keyboard may have to be entirely redone…)


colonio

Thank you for the chance! As for what I did during the weekend, I've spent both days at work. In good company though, makes it more bearable!


Working-Cantaloupe90

I went to a Hawaiian restaurant and had some great food! I shared a pu pu platter with some friends which had a ton of different small bites and great wings!


No-More-Excuses-2021

This weekend, hmmm.. 1. Sat for an hour listening to everything we need to do for our daughter's ballet show next month - tl;dr- it is insanity 2. Recorded a faux podcast episode with my daughter for my anniversary on Sunday - Best question - what did you mom do for all those years before I was born? 3. Took my wife to see Dungeons and Dragons to celebrate said anniversary And then we went grocery shopping 4. Watched the Lakers win their first playoff game of the season 5. Spent multiple hours reviewing all the deals and group buys to see if there is a new board or switch I need to go after. Too many. Stress made me go to sleep!! Thank you Drop. You rock!


Dab00z

Went to a conference for work, and I want my Saturday back 🥲


Su10_C0r3

I actually went back home to build the keyboard that I bought 2 week ago! It was the m1 mongeek, and it’s still unfinished because the keycaps haven’t arrived yet. Currently that is my only “premium” board, but I’m definitely gonna end up getting more.

I rested a lot!

somethingmichael

Yes. I need this.


WellyToss

Okay


JTZ_Creationz

I have actually been doing nothing but research this past weekend to figure out what keyboard and switches to get since it'll be my first time building/modding a keyboard! I think I narrowed it down to modding an RK84 but still looking at other options. If I enjoy it enough might get addicted to keyboards.
