Re: Retyping Books

Well, if most of the books one deals with are e-books or digital versions of books, they will be quick to infer that these are 99% of all books On the other hand, if you take as example the catalogue of the French publisher Flammarion , you will see that they list a total of 13431 books, of which 83...

That is a bold assumption.
I would rather assume that ±99% of all books ever published never made it to a digital version.

Re: Looking for a recommendation on a macro pad

I know it's moot, at this point, but you could just get an ortholinear keyboard and use that as a macro pad. You'd need a Hasu USB to USB converter. I han't thought about that. That's actually a pretty good idea. That would make a huge numpad with a lot of options. Not sure whether you missed my po...

Re: Jarltech Cherry MX blue matrix [FS]

Both keyboards in your pics share the absolute same case.
This is a common feature in Tipro keyboards. So there is just one type of screw for all parts.

You can easily recognize a Tipro by its 8x16 matrix, by the way. Most others (including the Jarltech in the first post) have 7x15.
