Oh I love this article. And I can totally relate. I have so many keyboards that I feel ashamed to have spent so much money on all of theses devices. But the journey is amazing. Switching from flat to mechanical. From ergo to standard. Down the road, after so many years, I like the option to be able to switch easily. I lile my Moonlander split (but hate that it moves) so I fallback on a flat Microsoft Sculpt. And some…
I’m either using a variation of one of those or the macOS boards.
Does anyone else find this to be a pretty strange statement? If he doesn't mind the wire anyway, then just keep it plugged in via USB so it's always charged.
My unhealthy relationship with keyboards came to an end as soon as I bought my first Keychron keyboard with a knob (Q-series). After using this keyboard, I can't imagine ever buying another keyboard without a knob. It's really great to control your audio volume with an appropriate hardware control rather than pressing the same key 15 times in a row like an idiot or fiddling around with the mouse. You can configure th…
I never thought I would abandon my Matias quiet click (which is still the only tactile tactile switch being produced) but here I am typing on a friggin gaming keyboard.
Whenever I move to a house where I can have my computer far away from my family my old 122 key model f will come out though. I spent so much time restoring it that I don't think I could not not use it.
I've also had - and collect - an insane amount of keyboards, much like my musician friends collect instruments. I have 46 keyboards currently - mostly TKL mechanical (Cherry/Topre/Kailh/Gateron), a Moonlander, and some Apple, Microsoft and Logitech. But the only keyboard I actually use for my work is a Lenovo TrackPoint II Bluetooth keyboard (best keyboard ever made IMO).
> However I have a few personal gripes: Firstly the board is completely wireless, which means I have to charge it via USB-C. As I'm sat practically tethered to my desk all day a permanently wired option would actually be more convenient as it would save me to the hassle of charging.

Maybe?
I was expecting to see 10s of keyboards as you'd see from most in r/MechanicalKeyboards and was disappointed to only find 5. Not an unhealthy relationship at all!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
? Just use any normal keyboard. Do nothing at all to configure the layout on Linux, and on Mac, configure the OS to swap the command and option keys for that keyboard.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had that jump out to them. I don't think I've ever had any OS specific functionality with a keyboard. Looking at the USB HID scan code list I can't even think what I'd want out of a keyboard that isn't already covered.
I really don't understand the numpad-less trend of fashionable keyboards. Doing any kind of number entry beyond one or two digits is very annoying without one. They also don't take up that much space really. If your keyboard is a portable one you pack with you on trips, I get it. If it lives on a desk, why not splash out the small amount extra to make number entry much easier.
I can assume that people with narrow shoulders would prefer a narrow layout on their desk.
