Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

seeing all these 10keyless keyboards has given me an itch, and i need to replace my office one anyway

however it'd be batshit insane for me to work without a numpad

is there a cool couple independant numpads i should know about?

get an M0120 and use an Arduino Leonard to interface it to your system when you need it

you could also kick it truly old-school but interfacing will be more of a challenge

10keyless look boss but when it comes time to enter some numbers.. well, lets just admit how poor the number row at the top of the board are...

I have the weirdest habit where I use the numpad only for typing the asterisk (*)

no you don't

you want a USB stereo 24bit/192kHz DAC with tube amplifier to plug your headphones into

then you can choose the best possible mechanical keyboard without compromising either keyboard or audio quality

as ridiculous as tube DACs are I do think they're nifty looking and kind of want one for my desk at work

I just noticed mechanicalkeyboards.com have pok3rs in stock so I canceled my massdrop order. I'll pay $20 not to have to wait 2 months for a new keyboard

amazon have them through fulfill as well. what one did you get

the only thing that i'm kinda turned off about w/r/t the poker and 60% kbs in general is that they're probably oriented towards the kind of people who use vim and think that they constantly write code at 80+wpm. i don't do either of those.

put a usb hub, a dac, and a teensy (for adb > usb conversion) inside an apple extended keyboard ii. replace one adb jack with a usb micro or c, the other with headphones. Boum

It's not getting here until next week but I expect them to be about as loud as blues, only without some of the bottoming out (or not, I still bottom out on clears)

would they be any louder than blues? i suspect not. plus stiffer than clears again right?

huh I thought clears were a constant 65cN but after the bump it rises up to 95cN. greens are a constant 80cN

I have a Logitech G910 Orion Spark, can I be pretentious with you guys or do I have to replace it with something using cherry mx switches?

The lighting on the romer-g keys is beautiful but the switch itself is mushy and bad compared to glorious mx blues or browns (and the logitech RGB software has zero interesting effects plugins so far)

are there any quiet mechanical keyboards other than Matias's? i really shouldn't be buying things like that but I miss having a mechanical keyboard at work. I just don't hate my coworkers enough to bring in my keyboard with Cherry MX Blues or my ancient Apple with Alps sliders

plus the apple doesn't have NKRO as far as I can tell and I typo on it constantly

I have a logitech g710+ at work in an office landscape and my coworkers haven't killed me yet.

It has cherry mx browns with rubber damper rings, I think it's reasonably quiet. Another guy in my office is way louder hammering away on his cheapo membrane keyboard, it depends on how hard you bottom out the keys, not just the mechanism

get another ancient Apple keyboard and bring it to work, don't steal the one from your posting station

you should use a keyboard at work that will make your coworkers roll over and show you their membrane bellies
