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?

my parents bought me an hp in like 1997 and the keyboard had a wheel for volume and i still miss that. it was a great feature

if they’d really loved you they’d have bought you this HP with a wheel in the keyboard

orange alps. if you can't find those, i guess matias quiet click (not actually clicky at all, they're tactile) will have to do.

i switched back to a matias ergopro from my kinesis freestyle 2 because I don’t like the latter

my wrists started hurting a lot

switched back to the kinesis and now they’re mostly better. the kinesis doesn’t ~*~*feel good*~*~ but I guess it’s the better ergonomic keyboard as far as ergonomics are concerned 🤷‍♀️

an HP 98203C is a keyboard that should have excellent knob feel

there’s one on eBay right now for US$395, which adjusted for inflation is around the original price

The topre happy hacking keyboard has poo poo ergonomics but it's still one of my favorite keyboard designs. If it had a control key I would buy another one. At the end of the day any keyboard not useful for video games might as well be an Advantage.
