I have a passionate hate for the F5-F8 being in that second colour. it ruins the colour balance and I will never get a two toned set for that reason alone

yes

i don't see it actually being much faster than qwerty by being a better layout, but it's a way to force yourself to touch type rather than look

echi has one with clears

blues mate


yeah solid boards for sure

didn't realise they came in PBT, coz drat off the bat you'd be getting one mother fuckin decent board and probably never need
to get anything else. then it's just up to the switch choice. I've got blues in mine and I have a code which is basically the same but backlit but has clears and PBT and it's glorious and would recommend a++

myu old das v3 had a usb hub on the baord and it was the mother fuckin poo poo. I dont know why its not compeltely standard given that it seems so simple to do

altho i had TWEO leads so you culd still plug board into ps2 and then usb hub


coz plugging keyboards into ps2 is still a thing people do

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?
in the future, true pro keyboards will require a tube preamp for that rich full sound

eh it's just the usb standard

some gaming boards do it but then require drivers

and ps2 is still standard on motherboards so

I fee like Kirk looking at a razer product when I see this image

I don't even know where to start. The hosed up arrow keys? the addition of a second set of arrow keys on the accessory thing, which proves they knew how it was supposed to be? The gigantic left side tab/caps/shift keys? The oversized tilde key?

welcome to old Mac keyboards, enjoy your stay

remember that Steve (pbuh) didn't want arrow keys at all on the Mac, and the original 128/512 didn't even ship with arrow keys on their boards

oh so i googled it as well and lol that ps/2 transmits 'key down' and 'key up' events aka the right way to do it while usb hid just repeatedly spews out overall states that only have enough space to show 6 keys


so usb hid doesnt really support 0.5 A presses :(

those have a particular, satisfying feel to them though

they just go click when you press them, exactly like you think they should

using anything outside of arrow keys is hosed up because non-arrow keys are cluttered and misaligned
