Hey!

I don't see the pictures. Is anyone else having this problem?

Welcome to the family, and glad you figured it out!

daww it's closed.

I wanted the http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z ... 3642278402

HHKB :3

I just like it completely black. The only other style I would like to go with is classic retro; grey a-z keys and dark grey num row and function keys.

This discussion is an education for me. Until recently, I was using an IBM Model M. My setup includes 3 computers (each running a different OS -- Mac, Linux, and Windows) and 3 monitors connected via a KVM and Synergy. However, owing to a shoulder injury, I found that the position of the mouse was ...

The bag has been shipped to prdlm2009 with tracking!

prdlm2009- PM me your info for me to send the bag to you!

A friend of mine has been looking into getting a mechanical keyboard, the noppoo choc mini white more specifically. We talked about different types of cherries and I think he was going to get the blacks or reds, but I was able to tell him how each of them feel and he decided to go for the blues for ...

PM sent!

Still interested! Thank you!

My review of the V2 Switch Bag I liked this idea a lot. I am happy to have been a part of it and got to experience a lot of different types of switches that I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. Thank you for creating this! https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-J-AC3Hk4eaU/UND4pQx2spI/AAAAAAAAnTw/odh...

I have just received the STBAG version 2 CONUS!

Just received the STBAG today!


Edit: This might be the wrong thread. I think, http://deskthority.net/try-before-you-b ... 83-60.html, is the right thread for this response.

It also doubles as wrist-rest .

I like!! Nicely made.

I get my non-print keycaps in tomorrow! can't wait to change them all out!

Ah, yes, I have read that optical sensors are better at handling tracking at higher speeds, but going as far as recommending that people don't buy laser for FPS is a bit over the top as you're playing on very low sens. I'd recommend optical for low sensitivity players looking to play precision game...

You may use it not, but you know shortcuts with F keys. Didn't you? Just wondering. F1 help, F3 search next, F2 rename, Alt F4 close, F11 toogle full size in Browser - thousands more. Program media keys for volume, next, pause, mute etc. Totalcommander is also nice to use with F keys many more prog...

Ah. I see. It all makes sense now.

All laser mice (at least all the ones I have listed that I've bought and tried) lag and skip, because I'm moving the mouse faster than it can process. Even though I haven't used all the laser mice I am 100% confident in saying that all laser mice will lag and skip. You can prove it yourself. These a...

I've never used or seen an AltGr key before. What do you do that you need this key, I'm guessing finance or patenting?

I personally prefer 70% over 60% sized keyboards since I use the function and arrow keys quite often. Plus, I'm not the kind of person who revels in the luxury of having a number of different keyboards for different purposes, moods, or whatever. It's got to be an allrounder. What do you do that you...

I retract my last post.

I bought a Logitech Mouseman once that turned out to be fake. The emotional impact was quite devastating. I would probably put money on it being fake. Leave it.

Once the HHKB layout is in your muscle memory, it makes standard layout keyboards crap. I usually remap standard boards to use HHKB layout. I use a Fn key on the left of the space bar on the HHKB with my thumb, which allows me to use the arrow keys without hand travel. It's much better than moving ...

The arrow layout on the hhkb is not the same as in vi which is a shame really. Using the arrow keys on a hhkb is OK imo, when moving the cursor in a text document for example it feels alrite. However playing a game (for example runescape) is a total pain and it actually hurts my hand after a while....

To comment on the poll: I voted tenkeyless, but I could do without the function row. Delete, arrow and nav keys are important to me, but they could be moved a bit to the left. I think that a HHKB/TKL hybrid could be nice. As to mapping arrows to the function layer on a compact board, I think that h...

It's definitely a collector's item, the HHKB. The only time's I ever found issues with not having dedicated arrow keys is when I'm trying to play a game that requires them, like tetris. With emulators, I could remap them, though. I always got the impression that the nav cluster was tossed-in withou...

She probably has 50 pairs of shoes, each costing $150. That about justifies any of your own expenditures.

Agreed.

I didn't find getting used to Pure's layout all that difficult, but there is a lot of muscle memory associated with the arrow key cluster. When I go through the motions of using the HHKB's arrow cluster on my Pure (pinky on Pure's tilde, fingers on [ ; ' / for the arrow keys), it seems like I would...

And you complain about anything bigger than 60% being a waste of space?

Wow! What do you do?
