Best keyboard, and it natively supports dvorak.

I used to read about keyboards and think about them but after I got a kinesis I stopped because its that good. I miss the topres on the HHKB I sold but not enough to switch away from the kinesis.

Do you use the wrist rests? I’m afraid that if I put them on and hate them, removing them will leave a ton of glue goo.

i have one kinesis with the pads on and another with them off and I don't really notice one way or the other. the one that lacks them used to have them until they started disintegrating, and I don't remember the removal process all that difficult. absolute worst case it would've maybe been a few swipes of goo gone. so go ahead and try the pads imo

edit: to clarify, the disintegration mentioned above would have been the surface fabric eventually coming loose and peeling off, leaving just the foam core exposed. they actually still work fine without the fabric afaict

last time i used scroll lock it was because it did something special in excel

pause/break i think worked in dos games or something

it's good that there's lots of people experimenting with what we need, don't need, or can get by with a chord for on modern keyboards

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
uh, pause/break halts console output until you press a key.

the gently caress? how many of you have graduated highschool yet?

because they time from when they key starts moving to the usb event

so if your key only moves like 2mm total it goes faster

real contempt is a model M

cherry keyswitches are fairies on the head of a pin. a model M sounds like distant gunfire. it is not merely loud, it is an insistent, penetrating sound

best of all, it never bothers the person using it. it is a miracle noise that only bothers bystanders, like other people's cellphone conversations
