"Infinikey" seems to be a legitimate contender to the EnjoyPBT

I received my set of Katakana and unfortunate they're probably a "second" with some legend misalignment issues that slipped out of the QC and I had to return them. For majority of their batch, I believe they are of decent quality.

Anybody using a knee-chair? I think that maybe that is the only type of chair that I could sit straight in for any length of time without fatigue, but I have never used one for any length of time so I wouldn't know. They are also a bit weird to get in and out of, and it feels like you are locked in...

No chair is good for sitting 12 hours per day.

I suggest using a sit-stand working desk, and stand for at least 25% of the time if you have to stay "seated" for so long. A standing stool is also better for your spine. Most important thing is to keep a good neck and shoulder posture - if the muscles are weak to stay in a good post, either spend t...

This OG Cherry ISO set used the original moulding now GMK has acquired to make. They are supposedly of better quality or at least equal quality than GMK.
I would also say they should out perform ePBT.

Hello people, I'm looking for a nice set of ISO keycaps to go on my Steelseries Apex Pro. It seems GMK are ridiculously expensive and hard to get a hold of, and what I'd much prefer (Maxkeys SA), only do ANSI sets. That only really leaves me with ePBT. Can anyone tell me what they're like? How do t...

I'm looking for some US wyse keycaps

Ok, I got replies from several manufacturers who say they will be able to do it! Durock seems to be the most likely candidate, but of course the moulds will be expensive to make. I am running an interest check to see how much demand there would be for these switches: https://forms.gle/yTruRbAyMXFCQ...

While Alps is most famous for its much hyped SKCM blues, Salmon Alps are my favorite tactile Alps (a close second SKCM browns). But I am a linear guy... So lubed MX Vintage Blacks is my to go. Enjoy this nice creation while Matias is gone for a long time with totally no hope for us that he will actu...

And everyone said the old moulds and toolings for complicated Alps were lost. But since when and under whose hands were they lost. Could they be under someone's possession but they're not into make switches or that they don't like the design for some reason? And how about the research notes or meet...

The scrollwheel of expert "mouse" is really terrible. I had to tweak it for both expert mouse units I had. The symmetrical units (expert mouse, slimblade, L-Trac, this iMouse T50) allow the possibility switch hands when using the pointing device, versus the asymmetric design like those from Elecom -...

This is the kind of post I really like on DT

This one I particularly like the built by...tested by...completed by... labels.
They add a vintage personal touch to the keyboard.

CST L-Trac is the way to go, if you like the design (I love it, including the wheel and middle button). CST is actually going out of business as of this summer, because their head is retiring, but the product line is transferred to PI Engineering. ... :( [Using a wireless Expert "Mouse" now. By the...

https://i.imgur.com/bufZXip.png I don't know why but i like this layout :lol: I like this one. With a few (perhaps drastic) mods: Stepped CapsLock used as the L_Ctrl R_Alt to AltGr Left Win to Fn1 (so things like Alt + F4 is easier) Tick key at the corner to Esc Split Backspace + 1.5u Backspace set...

Did you elevate the windows (to admin) that you're running pacman?

On "code" key though, one can say "super" is one letter to long for 1u but it still doesn't represent anything in OS or IDE. There can be many smarter options, can't we? I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The key is called Super in many desktop environments for Unix/Linux. I think most people...

I have never trying to be against people who want to do some convenient quickies with vi or vim - so please don't pull the trigger here.

... Feel-wise for POM caps - very hard caps yet very slippery. Typing on POM caps makes me feel like swiftly flowing in water, very fluid like. Thanks for the description :) I read about PPS keycaps also, they are supposed to be even harder than POM : https://www.keebtalk.com/t/proxy-shipping-for-c...

I had the original 75% Plum and I sold .... Will I buy it again? Likely is there’s a POM version - there’s no much in POM in the market right now. And if I have the time and $ to mod it for better rubber domes. But the bottom line is, I am too accustomed to the HHKB layout which has a split backspa...

I had the original 75% Plum and I sold it not long after I bought my HHKB The biggest obvious change I can see is their boss who invented many uncommon layouts listened to the community: Changed the 5.5u spacebar that no one can find To a standard 6.25u spacebar Now it is compatible with lots of key...

I've been on and off watching these WEY for a while... (a few years) What is missing is the specialized cable - not to be bought from the seller nor easily found elsewhere. the cable is available on ebay, i will post a link when i get home later tonight Wow you devil! Good and bad news - I don't ha...

Interested: this is the thing after the no-more HAD-adapter kits I have to shout out also: I forgot who (the MassDrop dudes??) started using the "Code" key, then a bunch of sellers who do not look into computer history followed in their selling gigs. Please consider "Super" (in Linux and Windows) in...

Holy shit, imagine being so lazy in your marketing that you don’t even update the forum name in your copypasta.

I cannot think of many other historical keyboards that are more massive than this one... (I know... you also have the IBM 3741 Data Station / System 3, but let's just talk about the size of the keyboard area for now) I am glad it now belongs to one of the dedicated enthusiasts, so we can at least kn...
