the kinesis keyboards are super great for their purpose, but imo if you are typing so much on your traditional keyboard that you have enough wrist strain to think about a kinesis, you should probably stop working so hard, because your boss sure as hell doesn't

i am trying to decide between the ducky shine 5 or the terribly named Das Keyboard 4 Professional Clicky

if the das was backlit this would've been a no brainer

i've got a shine 4. They're pretty solid keyboards. I'd still suggest a code or whatever it is the thread spruiks now, plate-mount keys >>> pcb mount, even if the pcb is reinforced.

comparatively subtle design on both, the media keys on the das

also both are blues

i'll check out a code, but if they have no media keys i'm back to square one *insert coldplay song*

edit: negative on the code, looks nice though

code doesnt have dedicated media keys but maps the those signals to fn+(keys in pgup/pgdwn) cluster

its real good

If it still uses the same old Romer-G keyswitch it's going to feel like a lovely mushy membrane keyboard and shouldn't be bought by anyone.

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?
I'm staying in SF during the conference and expected to do other work when I'm not helping developers in a lab or speaking

so I brought my laptop stand and external mouse and mechanical keyboard, the same setup I use at the office

so far it's p needs suiting

topre switches have a rubber dome as an integral part of the design. that is not a mechanical keyboard.
