I had a CODE too but with clears and drat am I like jesus on steroids with that board

Jesus always struck me as one who doesn't totally optimize for ergonomics in all of his life decisions.

And besides, in between miracles he somehow takes on a dozen students full time and debates them constantly. How would he even have time to do anything at the desk between all the lecturing about literally everything he came across in his travels? Not to be too whatever-the-opposite-of-anachronistic-is, but he would have been a Logitech K120 guy for sure, steroids or not.

not enough good keycaps with shine-through legends imo. i do like that about the code keeb

I bought mine without key caps. god knows how it was for sale here in nz second hand, and I got shine thru PBT keycaps BUT the ones I got, where it’s a number key with also like &&$)-!? on it, the $& is at the bottom and isn’t illuminated by the LED

:cry:

so it’s borderline substandard compared to a legit CODE keycap set. there must be switches that exist with LEDs on both top and bottom to illuminate all of the shine thru parts..

i'm thinking of justifying a k3 pro to go with my k3 so i can cart one to work. the pbt caps look slick, i just wish they were shine-through

there's abs replacements for the slim pros, but if it's a well-lit office and not my home den, then it won't matter as much-

-is what i tell myself, but glowing glyphs are cool

youre still better off, the official code keycaps are singleshot clear abs with black paint on them. they wear out very fast and become illegible

coz the code is basically the perfect keyboard, as it is. i’d prefer usb C anda more stable port or some kind of clamp or something, but that’s about it

those keycaps are sick. is that DSA profile?

pram spent thousands on a group by and got the super tall SA profile caps. in theory a taller keycap shouldn’t make a difference right? but I bet it feels different

ive been using chef fatwood's code for 7 years now and i haven't had any of the keycaps go. the only thing that died is the led for the f key, probably because i spilled coffee on it.

I just bought a Q0 numpad and have it to the left of my Q10. I think it's my endgame layout. Alice 75% and a left numpad.

Just a regular PSA to buy Keychron boards from Amazon because Keychron's support will give you the runaround, make you jump through dozens of hoops, and still never accept a return or refund.

yeah I like everything else about the code, the keycaps were pretty disappointing.

Only took me about a year to start wearing them out. My code was also one of the early ones though, I think I pre-ordered it. Maybe they've improved since then? idk

Taking a closer look the S key is starting to wear out on the edges. It's been my work computer so it's not getting gross gamer sweat all over it. The WASD keys on my WASD board (just the basic printed caps) got shiny as hell though.

hey, this is probably the right place to ask: where should I be looking if I want modern keyboard quality but some kind of grotesquely 1980s depravity? looks like my boss is going to walk over with his coffee and cigarette and be annoyed that I don't have an ashtray, maybe has a billion keys, and when the keys light up it either means there's a soviet missile launch or there's so much smog all our stuff broke
