i got a logitech craft keyboard. it has chiclet keys (the best design) and a spinny knob on the top corner like a mini griffin powermate and it weighs like six pounds and the backlight turns on automatically when you approach it. probably the best keyboard...in the world (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

what does touch typing actually mean? is it just typing quickly without looking at your fingers? or do you have to stay on the home row and use the "correct" fingers for specific keys?

dick traceroute posted:Has anyone tried one of those space navigator 3d mice? yeah i have one they work fine, but i find that i prefer to just use the mouse and keyboard chords for 3D navigation because then you have one hand on the keyboard instead of on another device. i like the keyboard. the power user strategy seems to be to use it as a coarse movement control and the mouse for fine selection, minimizing wrist movement, and to replace the common keyboard commands with mouse gestures.

The first professional programming work I ever did was writing TI-83 macros in 11th grade math class to automatically do stuff like the Newton-Raphson method and then selling them to my classmates for 5 bucks each

i only ever had an 83 because i borrowed it on a semester basis from the school. not one of those overachiever kids who had their own personal calculator. it wasn't even a plus model -- still had the square case and angled screen later i found an 83+ at value village for 10 dollars because it wasn't working but i opened it up and it was just corroded batteries. still use it to this day. ok thanks for reading, like and subscribe

the palo alto fry's is one of those unsettling liminal spaces like a church basement or a school in the summer but also it's just really gross inside come to fry's and pick up your, uh, 100 foot spool of coax and your bag of stale popcorn and your discount knockoff perfume and your porno dvds

A machine shop could make them for you from a CAD file, sure, but be prepared for an eye-watering bill. A CNC-milled keycap is going to be at least a two-setup three-axis job involving deep machining with small tools, and significant post-processing and finishing. Even if they can gang up all 70 from a single billet, I'm gonna say it'll be at least four figures, and more depending on what you want the finish to look like. Most of the cost will be in the labor for programming and setting up the machine. Mass produced metal keycaps are probably gonna be done with die casting, which is far cheaper per unit once you've committed to the cost of the die.

rotor posted:sagebrush you should know this: is there a filament you can print stuff with and then just put in a sand mold and cast in aluminum or brass? like where the plastic just evaporates into the sand like lost foam casting does? i'm not aware of any 3d printer materials that would be light enough to do lost foam casting, exactly. especially with a low melting point metal like aluminum, it wouldn't burn away fast enough and you'd probably always have some soot and crud messing up the casting. but there are a variety of burnout resins and filaments that will melt/burn away cleanly in a kiln if you want to do investment casting instead. in fact regular PLA works pretty well for the purpose aiui. and of course you can do regular sand casting with a 3d printed positive no problem.

can't believe this thread dropped to page 5! i am kinda interested in the look of the keychron keyboards. i like a full size one with a numpad and i also like having the knob. i currently use a logitech craft which i guess has basically chiclet keys. and a thinkpad with similar ones. i like at least a few millimeters of travel but haven't used a mechanical keyboard of these sorts before. i don't want something super noisy. 1) what are the best switches for me to get? 2) are there any differences between the q6 and v6 other than the q6 is metal? 3) is the metal body of the q6 worth it?
