That thing makes my thumb sore just looking at it

I can see how it MIGHT work if it was shaped like a potato that you gripped with buttons that fit neatly under your fingers, but even then you are pushing 5x the number of keys to type the same amount of characters as a non-stupid keyboard

massdrop didn't have the gateron switches by the time i got to it, so i got it with cherry blues

it's pretty nice, feels well-built and looks really nice in person too, especially with the floating keycaps

i'll take an irl picture with something else for scale at some point

the f keys are deleted so that looks weird, albeit without a numpad it's not too bad

white on white on white with a bad font doesn't help though but change those caps for something less gamer-y and you're all set

yeah, you can also get greens with o-rings if you want the motion of the model m with none of the noise.

greens are really loud and clicky they're heavier blues and impossible to make quiet

seems pretty decent, but i don't think you can change the caps out; they seem proprietary (of course)

so i finally got to play around with the magicforce since my new pc is finally finished

it's pretty nice, but it does some weird stuff

ESC and ~ are on the same key so if i want to use ~ i have to press Fn+Esc. but sometimes it changes so that for Esc i have to press Fn+Esc. still haven't figured that out

also, i had a weird issue where holding shift would act like i was holding any other key, it would repeat it a bunch of times

i fixed it but gently caress if i remember how

this reminds me of this compaq keyboard I used to have where it had a split spacebar. by default the left half would be backspace, but you could hold Alt+Ctrl+Shift and hit the left half of the spacebar twice to hardware map it to a forward space. you had to redo this everytime you plugged in the keyboard.

I have the roller thing on my g710+ and it feels cheap as hell compared to the rest of the keyboard. my old old mx duo keyboard had the best volume control ever. it was a clicky dial that was the most satisfying thing to turn.
