are there any quiet mechanical keyboards other than Matias's? i really shouldn't be buying things like that but I miss having a mechanical keyboard at work. I just don't hate my coworkers enough to bring in my keyboard with Cherry MX Blues or my ancient Apple with Alps sliders plus the apple doesn't have NKRO as far as I can tell and I typo on it constantly

error1 posted:Another guy in my office is way louder hammering away on his cheapo membrane keyboard, it depends on how hard you bottom out the keys, not just the mechanism yeah i'm a miserably heavy typist. i have a apple wireless at work (standard office issue) and i type so hard on it that it tends to walk around my desk :x

eschaton posted:you can find suckers selling an Apple Extended Keyboard II for under $50 i have an Apple Extended Keyboard I and I can't deal with the lack of NKRO or ghosting or whatever, it drives me nuts to the point I don't use it with my iMate would building the leonardo hid board give me some tunables to work around that or is this just an issue inherent to the keyboard?

je1 healthcare posted:My coworker got a mechanical keyboard and hearing the constant loud clacking all day makes me want to murder. Who's problem is this? How do I ask him to type quieter without sounding like an autist? NOTE: I have headphones that I wear all the time but they only slightly muffle the background noise because I don't listen to music buy him a Matias Quiet Pro or a Realforce

welcome to old Mac keyboards, enjoy your stay remember that Steve (pbuh) didn't want arrow keys at all on the Mac, and the original 128/512 didn't even ship with arrow keys on their boards

there's finally a drop for ALPS double-shot keycaps https://www.massdrop.com/buy/alps-keycaps of course it's a standard ANSI layout so i get windows keys instead of ⌘ keys like stebe intended and not enough F keys to cover my Matias Quiet Pro but eh it's  i'll give it a shot, if it looks like hell i'll keep the Matias laser-etched keycaps

also if you live in an urban area you probably have a used office furniture store nearby, my partner picked up a Leap in good shape for about $100 from National Office Interiors and Liquidators just outside of the Chicago Loop. they'll also usually throw in a 90 day warranty as well

echinopsis posted:why is it so hard to have a usb hub in a keyboard anyway. I thought one of the things usb did was be a hubbable device.. but even the das that had the hub required two usb plugs into the pc? matias pro keyboards have three USB ports in them and only take up one on your computer
