deskthority

(mouse) Balls!

I very much like this idea. Well implemented, it should be able to unconflate both \| key positions and allow Model M keyboards with TIE Enter + Sun ("HHKB") Backspace keys.

Thing is, they don't know what a REAL "dark mode" is.


Some apps have a dark mode (dark grey) and an AMOLED dark mode (black). Dark grey themes are preferable because grey to grey transitions are faster and less smeary than white to black.


The monitor's (paper's, whatever's) convenience ...

I bought Noir and love it! But I like everything dark in low light places and at night. I think it does a perfect job on Deskthority.

I’ve found that dark mode seems to be a generational thing where I work. Older folks aren’t a fan but the younger people love it.


Thing is, they don't know what ...

Dark mode is essential.


Essential if you wanna go blind.

Albeit, that particular dark mode looks rather better than many other "dark modes" that are, frankly, a sin. I mean, who in his/her/their/its right mind thought that "mid-gray text on a slightly brownish dark gray background" would be ...

Okay folks, I am accepting orders for keycaps again. :lol: Sorry for the confusion in this thread but after a long time I was able to refine the process and it is actually doable the way I intended. So, in short, I am indeed able to make keycap sets with almost any mount. All the keyboards I made ...

[1] [ ] Chunky Ass Enter

(Stepped) Obese ISO Enter.

(it ain't "* Ass Enter" if the bottom half isn't larger than the top half)

I... uhhhh... are you sure you are allowed to sell shirts with those designs? Two of the shirts in the shared image strike me as a trademark lawsuit waiting to happen.

Boas, decidi criar um novo layout optimizado para programadores, é um mix de ISO-PT e teclado ANSI US.
Possui apenas 10 teclas diferentes do teclado US, ao contrário das 17 do teclado atual.
Quais são as vantagens e desvantagens? O que acharam deste layout? ;)

I know keyboard trays have a bad reputation, but I find that they do serve a purpose. I like my keyboard low, and my desk free for a notebook or tablet, and a tray is great for that. A good quality, properly mounted tray should not bounce or wobble.

The cases look great!

Btw Model F Labs was mentioned in an Ars Technica about the new Windows copilot key:
The 122-key keyboard layout with F23 lives on. Beyond people who still swear by old Model F and M keyboards, Model F Labs and Unicomp both currently sell modern buckling spring keyboards ...

Looks awesome... except for the Windows logo, which seems out of place on that vintage looking board (but I guess I dislike seeing it on any keyboard)


Thanks. I have been considering replacing the new Windows key with the old (Win95) logo to make it look more timely accurate. I use it often ...

Makes perfect sense. China can't force the world to buy their spyware-laden keyboards if pesky little forums like this keep resucitating vintage keyboards and putting them to good use.

Am I right, or is she right? I find it is not for the wiki to decide.

Oh, that's easy to answer with the available data:
Therefore, Cherry MY switches are fine.


Let us all thank multidisciplinary knowledge.

Pictures making a perfectly scientific forum poll:

Your opinion of Cherry MY as a switch:
• MY is horrible, objectively bad, like poking especially nasty, soggy newspaper
• MY is an under appreciated gem, just as deserving of love as any other switch, you can all go to hell

Well, the site is not losing my login every few minutes anymore, so I'll call this a step in the right direction.

Besides, the idea that Cloudflare determines I am, indeed, a Human being provides me with a modicum of comfort.

Tokyo Press is famous for its switches and infamous for the HHKB "keeb", so there is little doubt as to what the proper answer is.

Will all of those be pebble, or will be batches in other colours?

This is part of my keyboard collection, some are restored, some are still dirty, some are modded with usb interface, and I wanted to share it with you.

One more thing that I didn't notice until I couldn't not notice it:

The English (UK) national layout has exactly two assignments in the tertiary (AltGr) layer: ¦ , under AltGr-`, and € , under AltGr-4. In one key, the tertiary assignment is placed in the bottom half of the keycap ...

Come to think of it, if those "MLX Red" feel more like MX blacks or even stiffer, perhaps these Corsair switches' actuation point may have actually been 0x45g, but the marketing dept. couldn't make sense of the "0x" bit.

Yes.

If I lived on the numpad and function row, though, I'd likely do something quite like you have done. Truth is though I don't, and I really don't want to expand my collection with a new quest: matching numpads for all of my compact keyboards!
