Unexpectedly bought a Contour Unimouse Wireless because it was on sale

This looks like it came from an old typesetting machine: "thin space" and ensp/emsp keys are a dead giveaway

Was actually hoping someone would post CURRENT made keyboards that are available to purchase today that are of HIGH quality. Not the Cherry-esque type of keyboards which are dime a dozen everywhere but the quiet all membrane keyboards that are dirt cheap but still of decent feeling and actuation wh...

I got mine with a used iMac G5 — the keyboard was full of dead spiders.

At least spiders are better than cockroaches

I had a chance to briefly try Elecom Huge after a colleague bought one. I had to contort my hand quite a bit due to both the overall shape of the device and also the location of the ball. I imagine it would be more comfortable if used on an angled stand, but it's definitely not a very ergonomic devi...

One of my coworkers brought in a few of his Apple keyboards and the A1048 felt pretty decent -- short travel with a nice firm actuation near the top. https://i.imgur.com/LdGmrhB.jpg There must have been different versions of this keyboard, because the one I had was absolutely disgusting, like typin...

What a delusional attention whore. He's very sad even for a troll, otherwise he would know that reductio ad Hitlerum is literally the worst possible argument to make

NMB domes with sliders are pretty decent (RT6555TW/6556TW)

I want to get a CRT, but I can't find one locally

Razer is like Apple for idiots: they also emphasize style over substance, but unlike Apple, they don't have any substance whatsoever.

That IBM-branded Chicony is rather good for a rubber dome. Better than e.g. Cherry MX Black :lol: Dont bully MX black :cry: I don't really hate MX Black, however I have a Cherry G80-3000LPMEU which I sort of wanted to use for my retro gaming setup, but it's so meh that I vastly prefer my NMB-made D...

As far as I remember, my PCE INT’L had a rather noisy spacebar as well

Apparently I missed the point when this place became just a division of Reddit

The layout is HHKB's raison d'être. If you want a bigger Topre board, there are Realforce and Leopold.

Oh yeah, everybody's favourite JCUKENG layout...

Apple then and Apple now are two very different companies.

Don't give them ideas!

Although to be honest, Apple is most definitely not interested in producing such a niche, low-volume product.

No matter how many keyboards I have, my wife thinks it’s too many!

I have a set of keycaps just like this, but mine are Alps, not Cherry. The extremely fugly Cyrillic legends are pad-printed and wear off very fast.

I'm pretty sure you would like this one

Hey all, I was browsing some auction sites today and came across an absolutely TINY DOS PC - like, I'm talking around 2 and a half 3.5" floppy drives wide, and maybe 1 and a half deep. It must be the smallest DOS PC I've ever seen and I want it so badly Oh, this brings back some fond memories! My f...

I agree that the 12" MacBook looks kinda bad right now, but that's mainly because of Intel. This year's Y-series chips are mostly the same as the previous generation, nothing has really changed except for the model numbers. I'm actually interested in replacing my current MBP with a 12" MB because I ...

Mind, I consider that category to be “what all laptops will be like in 5-10 years.” The deadline keeps on slipping, doesn't it? It's exactly 10 years since Steve Jobs introduced the very first MacBook Air (famous for its awful thermal design, failing hinges and a single USB port). Two years later, ...

Thickness or lack thereof is a non-issue past a certain threshold. My current MacBook Pro is 16mm thick and I'm 101% sure I wouldn't have noticed if it was 17 or 18mm thick... I think anything under 20mm is thin enough for me. Honestly, I can't think of any scenario where additional 1-2-3mm of thick...

Rubber domes, rather meh

I like the new privacy policies that apple is putting in place and I would be open at paying the apple tax for it... but I hate the closed ecosystem (and no sign of it getting any better). Yes, Apple right now is the worst kind of monopoly, this is probably what Microsoft would have become in late ...

Apple’s Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro is serviceable in a pinch, but the spacebar is horrible.

Obviously, my Bluetooth Filco Minila is 100 times better, so I use it for dedicated writing sessions.
