Post your deskthority header images here

Let's have a look!

Muirium · 30 Apr 2014, 23:00

Middle one's nice, and the PCB's very pretty. Looks like cobwebs made by spider engineers!

photekq · 30 Apr 2014, 23:17

Nice shots madhias. You should upload more keyboard photos like that to your flickr

Muirium · 30 Apr 2014, 23:21

DT's header is my Flickr!

Broadmonkey · 30 Apr 2014, 23:41

Yeah, nice pics madhias! I like the DT_Header_01 a lot. The two other sadly interferes a bit too much with the Deskthority logo, imo.

Madhias · 01 May 2014, 00:01

Both Skipass images don't really fit to the DT logo, that's true. I should take it serious and copy the logo to see that it do not crosses letters. But i really like the Bokeh of that PCB.

Hehe, no keyboard porn on my Flickr yet, only 'Urbex' shots. I like yours (already followed)! And the other ones, like that from dubsgalore.

Here's a quick test I was playing with:

Muirium · 14 May 2014, 19:08

Where are those from: a beam spring maybe? The G is nice, unlike Cherry's, but the R is no Helvetica.

Compgeke · 14 May 2014, 19:43

Yeah, they're caps off a 3278 keyboard.

Took this as part of a recent project, I think it looks pretty nice:

Testing...

The THORITY part doesn't quite work with the key shine. Oh well, it was worth a try.

Muirium · 26 May 2014, 04:33

Yes, anticipating the transparency is the hard part. Try shifting the crop around a bit.

mr_a500 · 26 May 2014, 18:30

I like to call this one "PCB by candle-light".

matt3o · 26 May 2014, 18:31

I love this last one!

Muirium · 26 May 2014, 18:42

Nice! What cap sense PCB is that? Not circles like a Topre, but not squares like IBM Model F. Beam spring, perhaps?

mr_a500 · 26 May 2014, 18:44

It's the Victor 9000 keyboard, Keytronic foam & foil.

Muirium · 26 May 2014, 18:45

Foam and foil is capacitative? Goes to show what little I know…

Daniel Beardsmore · 26 May 2014, 19:33

I'm hoping that one day, one of our electronics whizzes will write up on the wiki how capacitive switches actually work.

Dubsgalore · 27 May 2014, 01:43

Two from my HASRO, not sure which one I like better, but i think I like 1 better

Dubsgalore · 27 May 2014, 01:49

and two more because I was bored

Tee-hee. ^_^

Kirk and Spock may or may not be wearing pants, by the way.

Muirium · 05 Jun 2014, 12:05

Nicely shot! I had to take a second look to see just what was keyboarding about it this time, though. I like what you're doing but next time: they need to be in a more iconic setting, I think. Still one of the prettier site headers, though!

It's a bit odd, I grant you, but they're entitled to wear pants if they choose. It's a free society.

webwit · 05 Jun 2014, 20:11

Might be wearing mankinis.

Muirium · 05 Jun 2014, 20:14

It is only logical for Vulcans to show off their package, after all. And Kirk hates to be shy.

photekq · 08 Jun 2014, 23:04

Just out of curiosity.. Are certain header images set to come up more frequently than others?

I've just been noticing over the past few weeks that this header comes up MUCH more than any of the others.

webwit · 08 Jun 2014, 23:10

Nope this is what is rotating each hour:

Five of them are mine. Colour me chuffed!

You've got five? Damn it. I had four going, but my DEC is gone! Gone, I tells you! Now I'm down to three.

Pity, that DEC shot was my favourite. (...and that space invader one I hate is still there to taunt me)
