Best products from r/outrun

Well, the easiest would probably be to buy one prebuilt. Making keyboards isn't very hard, however you need a few items such as a Soldering iron, and solder (of course), as well as a source for your own switches.

If you would like a prebuilt option of this keyboard, you can get one from here: https://kbdfans.myshopify.com/collections/keyboard/products/tada68-mechanical-keyboard-gateron-swtich-65-layout-dye-sub-keycaps-cherry-profils?variant=34710238797

A kit that you build can be found here: https://kbdfans.myshopify.com/collections/keyboard/products/tada68-keyboard-diy-kit

There is also the option of sourcing directly from China, however this may seem tedious. You can find these prebuilt, and in kits on https://world.taobao.com, however they can not be bought directly from the site, and you would need to go through an agent such as https://www.superbuy.com.

The main benefit to building a board yourself is that you can use whatever switch you want, rather than picking from a few different options. This board in particular does not support any other layouts aside from the standard 65% shown. I will say that the prebuilt options for this board are great for a first board. From the site I linked, you can choose from various Gateron switches. They are "cheaper" cherry MX clones, however they are sometimes considered better than their "genuine cherry" counterparts. They are very smooth, so are overall nicer to type on, however some report that the switches are a tad wobblier (which means that keys may shift more than on cherry mx). This often is not noticeable however, and Gateron are overall very good and cost effective switches.

If you would like to build, like I said you will need a soldering iron, solder, and switches for this board. The keycaps that come with this board are superb. Great feel, and great quality PBT. Of course you can change these later on as I have, but the ones they come with are fantastic.

You can find cheap soldering irons pretty much anywhere, be it local stores like walmart or homedepot etc, or online shops like amazon. You don't need to spend a lot of money on these, however if you're okay with spending a bit more, there are irons that allow you to control temperature like this one (that I use myself, and find to work great): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0725GYLVH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For solder, you will need either 60/40, or 63/37 leaded solder. I use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IQN8PDG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Leaded solder is generally a lot easier to work with than lead free.

Switches can be found from many vendors in our community. Here are just a few that people often use:

https://mehkee.com/collections/switches-and-parts

There are MANY options to choose from as far as switches go, so I recommend grabbing a switch tester from https://www.novelkeys.xyz/product-category/switchtesters/ to help you decide. You can decide from a very wide variety of options to place in each slot from here.

I believe that is everything that you really need to know, aside from knowledge about actually soldering. For this, I suggest searching up basic soldering tutorials on youtube, and also find some keyboard build logs of people putting together their boards. Really it's quite easy, but this was a lot of information to take in I'm sure. Hope this was helpful, let me know if you have any more questions or if i wasn't clear enough about something. :)

I have recently been getting into collecting vinyl albums and have been looking around for Outrun style albums as well since I love both the music and the album art. What I've managed to find is;

Kavinsky - Outrun and Nightcall on Amazon

You can find Gost and Pertubator on Blood Music's website

Magic Sword (if you consider that OutRun type music) is on their own website

Those are the only ones I have personally purchased.

As for everything else the BEST site to search and purchase Outrun releases is not Soundcloud but Discogs.com as it lists if they've released Vinyl pressings and makes purchasing them super easy if they're for sale (way better experience than eBay for example). Additionally there's Amazon and the artists Label I always check first.

Many of the compilations like Magnatron are for sale on various websites but with crazy high price tags.

Amazon also has all Daft Punk's stuff including the more OutRun style Tron Soundtrack (albeit pricey)

Miami Nights 1984 is 'looking into' physical releases of his stuff

John Carpenter's Lost Themes I and II are easy to find on Amazon

Carpenter Brut released Trilogy a while back but copies are still fairly expensive

The Hotline Miami 2 Soundtrack had a limited pressing as well

GUNSHIP is taking preorders for a pressing of their self-titled album

Power Glove's EP's are fairly cheap and easy to locate but
Power Glove's Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon Soundtrack is easy to find but very pricey.

College has a few LPs and EPs for sale as well

I also wish Dance with the Dead would get a physical release asap.

These are what I have / am looking to purchase in the very near future. There's many others with LPs and EPs pressed to vinyl, some easy to find, some not so easy. Also I know some of those I listed may not be 'Outrun' but they fall into the category of something I imagine someone who enjoys Outrun music would likely enjoy.

If you have any questions, feel free to let me know!

What is *Deliverance***?*

It's an action novel drawing inspiration from car-chase movies, racing games and the sheer cool of rally Group B, plus of course the sounds of Outrun music.

Here's the blurb:

>A crew of two, Deliverance is a different* sort of courier. Anything, anywhere in Japan, for anyone, at top speed. They’ll outrun the cops, they’ll outwit mobsters, they can face whatever the road throws at them. Just follow the rules and pay up front.
>
>But resourceful outsider Neil Goodwood, Deliverance’s navigator and loadmaster, is in trouble. His old friend and business partner Masa, the driver, is dead—run down, car stolen. Maybe he’s next. So he recruits young, gifted sports car mechanic and rally driver Suzu Hama. It’s the opportunity she’s been looking for, but she’s new to all this and needs to learn the ropes fast.
>
>Because Deliverance has become a target.
>
>And in the shadows behind the peaceful, advanced society of modern Japan, the Yakuza are feuding. Those who control everything in the underworld of Japan are about to go to war on their own kind, and no-one is safe.
>
>As they crisscross Japan at high speed, Suzu and Neil need to stay ahead of the pursuit. Somehow, they must find out whose sights they are in, and why.
>
>> “I would probably binge read the whole book if I had more time…very fun and exciting…a blast to read”
>>
>>– Quentin Smith
>
>Inspired by outrun culture and the synthwave/retro-electro scene, Deliverance is a fresh, turbo-charged, gleefully retro-styled new action novel from author Josh Quillan.

​

The first 41 and a half pages (why this much? Ask Amazon!) are available to preview in the 'look inside' section - just click the cover. That's the whole first chapter, featuring a Lancia Delta versus a gang of bikers on the expressways and streets of Tokyo.

You can find a soundtrack I've put together for the book here.

Enjoy!

​

Oh, and sorry about the high price of the paperback. That's about as cheap as I can make it. I get £0.09p per copy!

As far as music besides the ones you mentioned, I didn't see you mention Trevor Something and Perturbator. Check them out, pretty awesome stuff. Perturbator gets alittle dark sometimes, alittle ominous, but still awesome nonetheless.

For reading, I don't know if you'd really call it "outrun" fiction, but IMO "cyberpunk" is pretty close in style. So if you haven't read "Snow Crash", definitely check it out. The whole opening to the book where the protagonist is a pizza delivery guy in a bad ass car is AWESOME. Also, there's a bunch of other Outrun style stuff, like driving custom made vehicles through a virtual world where people spend a majority of their time. It's great.

EDIT: Here's a link to Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I too have been trying to find Outrun fiction. I already am big into Cyberpunk fiction, but IMO cyberpunk is alittle more bleak and depressing at times. I'm hoping to find some good Outrun type stuff that still has the attitude and style, but less of the doom and gloom.

The Golden Ratio: The Divine Beauty of Mathematics by Gary Meisner

https://smile. amazon.com/Golden-Ratio-Divine-Beauty-Mathematics/dp/163106486X

I only had a digital copy, and in looking at the amazon page more in depth, it doesn't appear to actually be a textbook per se, although it has that feel and description even calls that in: "This book invites you to take a new look at this timeless topic, with a compilation of research and information worthy of a text book, accompanied by over 200 beautiful color illustrations that transform this into the ultimate coffee table book. "

EL wire tends to make a high pitch noise when it's on, very annoying. You can get much smaller glowing segments, which is cool, but these strips are much brighter. I'm tried both, what I used is better for a large project like this(I believe the poster is like 24"x36", not inclusing the border or frame). I dunno if it's okay to link it, but here's what I used for the strip, and had plenty left over: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RW867BK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I also used a soldering iron, wire, and some heatshrink + led connectors to link up the wire in the back.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B9IDLAW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, its a more budget focused ultrawide. I love it, it's amazing for productivity. Plus I bought it for its color accuracy

As far as the desk lights go, I probably can't help you too much, but it's likely just an LED strip under the desk or along the back of it.

As for the computer lights. To make it easy for you, some cases have LED's built into them that you can control like this one here it's not the exact same as OP's but somewhat similar. To get one similar to OP's my guess is it's this case here, but it doesn't have LED's built in so you'd have to buy yourself some case LED strips if you find yourself savvy enough for it.

As for the components, you can easily find components that light up and are controllable such as this RAM. Most higher end GPU's have controllable LED's, you can research the brands that might. I know my EVGA brand Nvidia cards do. The light up CPU heatsink looks to be a hybrid cooler similar to this one which has controllable LED's.

After you have all that stuff, it's a matter of just installing the LED controller software for each and picking blue/pink hue's for them.

Thanks, the case is a In Win 303 MSI Dragon Edition. All of the blue lighting is from the case, and the pink/purple lighting is from this kit.

There are cheaper versions in both white and black with no vinyls, no rgb. Then you could just add that stuff however you wanted.

It's a great case for cooling despite harsh reviews, you just have to plan out the build a little more.

BIC Website Then filter by "In Style" and "Cutting Edge".

Amazon US: BIC Special Edition Cutting Edge Series Lighters, Set of 8 Lighters ($19.99)

ShopBIC US: BIC® Special Edition® Cutting Edge Series Lighters ($16.99)

OK, so I can't seem to find this lighter available anywhere in EU, if someone finds out, please let me know!

I just published my first novel and thought potentially you might be interested in the cover and content. It's free for the next few days! (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KK5JYV1)
