10keyless look boss but when it comes time to enter some numbers.. well, lets just admit how poor the number row at the top of the board are...

I have the weirdest habit where I use the numpad only for typing the asterisk (*)

yo echi have you found anywhere that'll ship a barebones keyboard (cherry blue, preferably) to our part of the world that doesn't cost a loving arm and a leg? everyone i've seen wants like $150US+ which is like $200AUD at the current terrible exchange rates

is $150 just the shipping? :stare:

because last time I checked wasd asks for like $75 just for shipping here SIGH

also beside the ponts. I want tod esign a keybioard

so...it has no numlock key. no scroll lock key

caps lock is physically mapped to a ctrl - this cant be changed

there will be NO lights on the baord whatsoever

the numpad will disappear when not in use

at work I use a wireless keyboard with no lights

the lack of caps lock light annoys me a lot more than I ever imagined it would

isnt that the chinese character for sheep

should it be duck or quack or something

it's kinda like writing 2015 in the keyboard but instead they wrote SHEEP (wood) because it's the year of the wood sheep

2016 will be fire monkey year :getin:

that enter button though

so here's my frankensteined ALPS switch oldass keyboard after putting on the cheap dolch doubleshot keys i got from massdrop

it's okay, but the ctrl/alt/space keys they provided are too small for this keyboard, and the backslash/backspace/enter keys couldn't be switched out due to keyboard layout differences. the f-keys are shorter than the originals which were like double-high, but it works out ok. still, seems nice enough and the keys are a bit lighter, which i like.

also i finally have a page up key again

this looks pretty good but that |\ key is freaking me out

Cons: It is soooooo loud I can't even do anything with this keyboard. Don't believe the silent part in name of this keyboard. I can't even listen to music while typing with this keyboard. This keyboard might make you feel like you are typing fast with this loud sound but It is annoying me so much right now. I am programmer I need to type a lot. How am I gonna concentrate on work when there is gonna be so loud TAH TAH sound every time I click this keyboard....
