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?

so since i got a das keybaord at home ive become acutely aware that my keyboard at work is 1) disgusting and 2) so loving old there are marks gouged into the spacebar from the corner of my thumbnail (I think???) and all the key caps are worn smooth and horrid to type on. plus its a crap HP piece of poo poo in the first place.

but if i get a noisy mechanical keyboard my colleagues will kill me, im thinking some MX reds or something? when I tried them out I didn't think they were that much quieter than the browns in my one at home though

edit: all the ones i can find on amazon or whatever are idiot backlit gamer bullshit

just get a cheap gamer one. if you don't like the backlights you can turn them off but they're pretty nice.

why’s your keyboard falling apart like that, do you raise each hand like a foot before striking a key? I’ve been using the same keyboard since 1990 and it’s fine

get a noisy mechanical keyboard and say you need it for your wrists and if others can’t handle the noise you should get an office

an IBM Model M would be best for this exercise

idk maybe I have a really powerful thumb or something but I swear there are gouges in my spacebar

its a cheap Hewlett Packard piece of crap so it's probably made of recycled coffee cups. must be about 10 years old as well

i was eyeing their backlit bluetooth since i want a slim keyboard i can move out of the way while working on other stuff. right now thats the previous gen apple keyboard but its a bit odd to use for windows and im a dummy that really likes backlit keyboards

if such a thing existed as a mechanical with slim keys and those features itd be in the shortlist but i dont do a lot of heavy typing at home, so i didnt look too far past the tenkeyless models and a few cordless ones

Which kinesis? The advantage, the only one worth buying *cough*, has custom shapes for their cap set, so you wouldn't be able to find aftermarkets for it.

advantage is for old rsi- burnt up accountants and 12000 page homestuck fanfic writers. the freestyle is the kinesis for the stylish modern computer toucher on the go

I always keep my apartment tidy and vacuumed to impress the women that are never going to be there, plus I imagine that my keyboard collection is sentient and they probably prefer the clean apartment, for example I clean carefully before getting a new keyboard in the mail to make a good impression.
