You would think that it could reverse image search some random frame from it, or maybe when you right click revrse search then a quick pop-up seeker showing some keyframes for selection...ccome on chrome team

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?
it turns out the key switches I love are not ALPS at all but Mitsumi, which are what the "Made in Japan" AEKII uses

and of course all my backup boards are Made in USA [S] models that have ALPS cream damped switches

need to find a source for more "Made in Japan" AEKIIs

maybe Matias will rescue my by cloning the Mitsumi switches too

I think it's time to come to reality.. i prefer clears to blues :smith: I know I am turning my back on everything I have ever said... but I need to be honest with myself.. clears are a joy.. therrte quiet because you dont bottom out.. and I type well.. blues are very there.. you know you're typing but the reality is that I type better on these... drat...

also beside the ponts. I want tod esign a keybioard


so...it has no numlock key. no scroll lock key

caps lock is physically mapped to a ctrl - this cant be changed

there will be NO lights on the baord whatsoever

the numpad will disappear when not in use

at work I use a wireless keyboard with no lights

the lack of caps lock light annoys me a lot more than I ever imagined it would

At work I have a Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate with brown switches. Fancy name for a keyboard with blank keys.



I am a network/sys admin so I do a poo poo ton of CLI work and general typing in our internal ticket system every day. I was a disciple of the Model M for years until I got this thing. And man is it a joy to type on. So much so in fact that I really want to replace the XArmor U9BL-S (also brown switches) I have at home with another DAS. But since the U9BL-S is also mechanical and working perfectly I have a hard time justifying the expense. Especially since I don't type nearly as much at home as a I do at work.

The occasional WTF looks from co workers when they look at my workstation are also priceless.

I really want to get a clear switch keyboard as I think I would love the extra stiffness but they are sorta hard to find and I don't have time to research keyboards these days.

MY CONTEMPT FOR MY OWN EMPLOYEES IS ONLY MATCHED BY MY LOVE FOR TOM BRADY'S SWEATY MAGA BALLS
got my code with blue switches

clickiness is really nice and the keyboard has a great feel. only thing weird is that the key switches and the spacebar feel different. not sure how to describe the difference. i guess maybe the spacebar is a little harder to push?

not saying it's a bad thing, just feels a little off

bet the spacebar is a green switch, pretty common to use a stiffer switch for space cause thumbs
