It depends, if his coworker is your typical hunt-and-peck office drone typist, it can be pretty infuriating to listen to But the fast, efficient keyboard chatter of a properly trained touch typist is music to the ears, yes

I spent the last day disassembling, washing, cleaning and assembling the keyboard on my old BBC Micro The whole computer smells a lot nicer without 30 years of old dust in it

Ew no that contrast is way too harsh, who the heck willingly combines pure white and pure black keys?

It's good to see that there are options for people who are too poor to afford all 105 mechanical keys

That thing makes my thumb sore just looking at it I can see how it MIGHT work if it was shaped like a potato that you gripped with buttons that fit neatly under your fingers, but even then you are pushing 5x the number of keys to type the same amount of characters as a non-stupid keyboard

surebet posted:in other news: The romer-G keys have really nice backlighting, sure, but they are mushy and awful and the keycap shapes are weird. I'd much rather have a cherry mx with a bit wonky backlighting that doesn't make your fingers hurt

If it still uses the same old Romer-G keyswitch it's going to feel like a lovely mushy membrane keyboard and shouldn't be bought by anyone. Give me Cherry MX or give me death

The original Das Keyboard was a KeyTronic Ergoforce painted black, it's a gross rubber membrane keyboard where the rubber is stiffer for certain keys

Someone had a look at an ANSI keyboard, thought "this could be better" and then they made the ISO layout

Has anyone got the VIM layout from wasdkeyboards? I wonder how durable the UV print is I'd want those as a fancy doubleshot set but I guess there's a limit to how complicated you can make the legends without the caps deforming

I thought I wanted a clicky keyboard so I've been fidgeting with a cherry mx keyboard sampler from wasd for a couple of days and there's something about the blue clicking noise that is really unpleasant to my ears, like it's really high pitched or something. The green click is much less obnoxious, it has a firmer thunking sound but it's still really loud  I think the clear switch is my favorite if I were to buy a new keyboard. All my existing mech keyboards at home and work are mx brown, and the clear switch feels just a little more tactile, probably better for typing and worse for gaming

Instant Grat posted:loving hell They are using the same lovely omron switch that Logitech used for their newest gaming boards. They are mushy and gross as hell, prioritizing the key backlighting quality above the tactile feel

It should have been illegal to deviate from the standard US qwerty ANSI keyboard layout, every other country has tried their best to gently caress up the keyboard layout for programmers In Norway, useful keys like { [ ] } are moved to AltGr-7 8 9 0  (for reference)  On the norwegian macintosh layout it's even worse, with shift-8 and 9 being ( and ), alt--8 and 9 being [ and ] and alt-shift-8 and 9 being { and } shift-7 is /, alt-7 is | and alt-shift-7 is \ Imagine how fun it is to program C code like that, no wonder all Norwegian software is written in visual basic

why doesn't anyone sell replacement mechanical keyboard PCBs for retro computers I really want to install cherry mx switches in my old Amiga 1200 and BBC Model B, the original keyboards were OK but they are a bit worn after 25 and 35 years.

I remember the hype for LAZER KEYBOARDS when they were first announced, it lasted until the first review units arrived and everyone realised that hammering your fingertips on a hard surface all day loving sucks. It only sort of works for tablets and phone screens because you rarely type more than a single line of text on them but I'm worried about the next generation growing up without real computers, they're all going to become imbeciles.

atomicthumbs posted:there's apparently an analog keyboard coming out https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wooting/the-analog-mechanical-keyboard-for-precise-movemen I hope it will support adjusting the font size by how hard you press each key. Even just toggling upper and lower case by a soft or hard press would be a pretty neat way to type. It's a kickstarter though so don't get your hopes up.

Gotta say the unicomp nipple isn't great. Since the keys are so tall the stick is really long and bonks into the keys a lot, and you can move the cursor a lot faster straight up and down that in any of the diagonal directions. It doesn't seem to get in the way of normal typing at least!
