I'm a lovable meme.

I don't know, I mostly got it for the space bar, the main four keyboards on my desk are standard TKL layout. It's not a bad compromise for the folks who insist on a numpad but they used key profiles on the numpad section that don't align with the rows on the normal board but on a numpad, so it sticks up a little on the bottom rows. I think the denser cherry 1800 style layouts are probably more sensible if you want a numpad all of the time but also need to mouse a lot and not strain your wrist.

If I was using the board regularly I'd probably be fine until I used the numpad for insert/home/end/delete or print screen which I use pretty regularly. I used one of these Northgate Omnikey Ultras in the 90s for a few years so I'm sure I'd get used to it (not my picture but I have a couple of these somewhere that need repairs):



Thanks for the feedback. 1800 is definitely my favorite layout for usability, and after that comes 65. Other layouts are always impractical for me for some reason or another. Im really happy for you if that wacky layout works for, it is at the very least not boring!


If I want another keyboard at some point, it'd be a vintage one or at least Vintage-Looking one, like the vortex PC66 - but preferably more like a battleship.

More keyboard chat - just got my new keycaps off ali and they are looking nice! The RK100 I have has north facing switches so the backlit keys are nice and bright!

What are the right keywords to find those jackets (or scarves, ideally) that light up in a camera flash and obscure everything else?

"retroreflective" and "anti-paparazzi" should give you what you're looking for. ISHU is the fashion brand equivalent scarf so that term would be good to use

I'm really considering one of those jackets. Any idea what the material or thickness is? I'm assuming it's like a windbreaker, can't really tell from the listing. Might be fun for night activites though so I might just bite the bullet and grab it.

I'm also going to get this cute ghost/skull pizza pin.

I have one that's just gray reflective without the colorful designs. It's a windbreaker with no inner linings.

If that's what you want there are some that are cheap on amazon, too, but I haven't tried them: https://www.amazon.com/TR-Super-Bright-Reflective-Jacket/dp/B01N1G1PSR

(The downside to this type of design is 1) it's not very visible in daylight or when the reflective material isn't being illuminated and 2) this type of reflective coating isn't that durable so you have to avoid washing it too much)

re: Retroreflectives, I looked them up a while ago and bookmarked this site, a shame a lot of the 'best' fabrics are out of stock right now:

I swear to god the original version of that post said "or a mek'leth if the shape of the bat'leth is a problem". Didn't want to ramble.

I would honestly take either, but if you can get a bat'leth multitool on Amazon, why not a pizza cutter? They could make the back side the cutty side. It would already be a gimmick.

Just make sure you hang all your pizza cutters on your kitchen wall. So when your enemy come for you, you can keep picking weapons off the wall and knife fight.
