Re: The mystery of DT's new owner - SOLVED

Wow, I was way off. I do not understand this investment at all. You'd imagine they'd at least collect the donations and check up on DT Pro membership. Administration is a cost, not bothering with that I at least understand. Then again, in big companies, collecting donations is probably more cost in ...

AFAIK it was quite a bit more than 4 digits.
I believe you, but it's quite surprising considering DT isn't monetized enough to even cover the costs of running it, or at least that's what we've been told. It also shatters the illusion of us, the community, possibly buying it back.

I'm also not a fan of Type-S. The whistling sound on some of the keys drove me mad.

Anyway, I'm stealing your idea about the numpad mapping to the mouse, Mu.

Re: For sale! Deskthority is looking for a new owner

Sad to hear that, but might also open opportunity to good new things to come.

Just out of curiosity, what's the ballpark worth of such a site? Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands?

Re: Topre 45g (FC660C) vs cherry mx blues, in terms of fatigue

I also remember when Leopold launched it was all the rage. No first hand experience though, sorry. I don't think there's enough people left interested to even start flame wars. I find Topre less fatiguing and more pleasant. I used to use MX blues exclusively for years and years, before this mechanic...

Re: HHKB refresh in 2019?

Being a region in someone else’s country is horseshit. I had no idea about any of that, but it doesn't sound very sovereign-like. OK, so I just received my HYBRID Type-S. A few initial observations: 1) No more creaking. This case is solid compared to the Pro 2! 2) The spacebar is MUCH quieter than ...

Re: HHKB refresh in 2019?

Some of the keys make a wooshing / whistling sound on the down stroke because the rubber o rings have too tight tolerances. Maybe there’s another reason for it, that’s my guess, but they do make a low pitched whistling noise.

Re: HHKB refresh in 2019?

Interesting. I've had all of the variations of HHKB (all keycaps, all boards, and naturally I also tried all of the combinations you get from this) and I honestly prefer the blank non-type S HHKBs. So I'm interested in the classic, blank variant. But I'll wait it out for a few reviews.
