I got me the unicomp model m so I can go SMACK SMACK SMACK as I'm typing, but as I left for work this morning I lamented two things: 1) I would not be able to use it at work, because I don't work from home (wtf??) 2) Oh god what happens if a cat throws up on it. They've thrown up on keyboards before, but those have been cheap rear end logitechs I don't care about. This thing is a beaut and I extremely don't want cat puke on it.

Oh I mean I don't really have a problem using it at work on principle, but transporting it between the two locations would be rear end. I should hopefully be out of this job very soon though! Keyboard covers sound like a good idea I wish I was smart enough to have thought of already. I'll see what I can find! Something cloth / washable would be neat. I extremely do not enjoy cleaning cat puke off of electronics / the floor / anything. Prevention's better than the cure.

The cross border shipping every time a cat pukes on the keyboard will bankrupt me lmao. Their purpose made cover doesn't seem too bad, at least if I have to go for long periods of not using it. I wanted an excuse to pad out a cart and get the tux keys anyway.

Doesn't ship to me but it's not like they're the only people with a 400x600 microfibre mat, surely, so gives me some extra keywords. Thanks!

lmao the model M really is comically loud. My partner and I are usually in the same room at all times and as I was typing a post she asked if I was really typing or doing a bit. I felt a little guilty and offered to explore options of reselling it or just sending it back to Unicomp - she implored me not to and also said "I also happen to have brand new noise-cancelling headphones so I can always just put those on if I don't get used to it" Jeez hon, I am not going to expect you to wear noise-cancelling headphones every time I want to go on a rampant posting spree.

Lol, I knew something like this would happen. I got the Tux keys from Unicomp, mostly because shipping costs didn't change and I was getting the keyboard cover anyway. I selected "Pebble", thinking that was a pretty good match for the keys I already had. There are no pictures on the website, so guesswork was all I could do.  Oh well, it's not a POOR match. And Linux is all different and poo poo I guess? Or something? Right? Justify this please????? Nobody Interesting fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Apr 13, 2024 |

Jesus christ this isn't going well at all. One of the cats is obsessed with the cover. She just bit it and pulled it off to play with it.
