I got the new Sculpt, also pretty nice! :)

I looked at the Sculpt as it was out at the time but I've never been a fan of that style of key (mostly due to bad experiences using them on laptops). Out of curiosity did you use the 4000 before and how do you find it?

I tried it, but i couldn't get it to work for me. I was coming from an Apple Wireless Keyboard and the size of the 4000 was just to big for my taste. I got pretty used to having my mouse pretty near my keyboard and not have to spread my arms very far.

I had a mechanical keyboard for a while after the AWK, but my hands did hurt after long programming sessions. So i gave the Sculpt a go.

It took me a while to get used to it, since it's also wider than the AWK, but not as wide as the 4000. Since i had to fix my hand-hurting issues, i powered through it and now i'm pretty happy.

So to answer your question: Since i was using an Apple Keyboard for years, the click-clacky laptop-style keys were not in issue for me. :)

Excellent thank you for the response, the 4000 seems to be getting replaced by the Sculpts so it's good to know they are still good, I have a 4000 at home, work and a spare in it's box for if either breaks (they are that important to me now) but I might give the Sculpt a go, I rarely use the numpad and the 4000's are indeed huge.

Is there some kind of website where people can upload their office/desk pictures including better descriptions (like those plus-icons) and a little Text? I don't know why, but to me it's motivating and just interresting to see how other people work. And i don't mean websites presenting huge offices of big companies. I mean homeoffices etc. A few years ago this was really big on Flickr, but since "nobody" is really ac…
