#mechanicalkeyboard — Public Fediverse posts

Most likely y'all already know this absolute fantastic compendium of custom #DIY Keyboards. I just found it today and I wonder when I ever gonna get out of this rabbit hole ever again...
Perhaps it's new for others, too?

Man. I have been wanting one of these #Nuphy Air75’s (actually have wanted a Field75 more) for ages now, ever once they started spamming my FB feed with their damned pretty keebs. Now might be the time. Don’t have any in my collection yet, and hey, Epipennic Anaphylacticity told me I should get more, so.. #mechanicalkeyboards #mechanicalkeyboard #mechkeys https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CMYYKJFN

New click-clack: Keychron K5 100% brown switches 😍 Keycaps have a rubber finish which I didn't fully like at first but it's growing on me now.

The overall experience is vastly different from the portable¹ Keychron K2 TKL I use with my laptop. The K5 requires a lot less force to type which is good for my aging fingers :)

¹) "portable": well, it's quite thick and heavy but also sturdy because of it

#MechanicalKeyboard

My current temporary desktop setup: #HappyHackingKeyboard Professional 2 (electrostatic capacitive #Topre switches) with #Domikey #Orange #Dolch #doubleshot #keycaps

Edit: Just noticed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Hacking_Keyboard that the #HHKB Pro 2 is now 20 years old — released in March 2006 — and the HHKB in general nearly 30 years, released in December 1996.

For ease of adoption, #lsp. For appearance aesthetic, #eglot. I guess I'm in a prolonged bake-off in #Emacs to see which one works better for me. Now if only I would remember I also have #yasnippet at my disposal, I might save a few hundred keystrokes. Not that it matters on this 10-year-old #mechanicalkeyboard. What color switches you ask? 📢 BUCKLING SPRING COLOR SWITCHES. 🔇

@apfel @0x17: Uargh, Katana-Layout! 😉 Da würde ich mir als Emacs-User bei Ctrl-X Ctrl-S noch mehr die Finger verknoten, als ich's schon bei ortholinearen #Keyboards tue. 🤪

Die einzigen beiden mehr oder weniger ortholinearen Keyboards mit denen ich gut klarkomme, sind das #Zlant (eigentlich "uniform staggered", sieht aus wie ein jeweils um 0.25u verschobenes #Planck) und das vorhin schon genannte semi-ortholineare #Alpha28, weil da das X rechts unter dem S ist.

Happy #MechanicalKeyboard #40sDay!

My favourite ≤ 40% keyboards:

1) custom #WorldspawnsKeebs #Shambles (world's smallest #TKL 😉) in fluorescent acrylic with #Nephlock #GMK #Kaiju (bought from Drop)

2) #Ziptyze #Zlant (bought from #1UpKeyboards) with SA #Vilebloom

3) #TheVanKeyboards (#TVK) #MiniVan with GMK #Paperwork — IMHO the most usable 40%

4) #PyrooL #Alpha28 (sub-30% bought from WorldspawnsKeebs on Etsy) with GMK Pulse #Mitolet (from Drop)

Thanks to @petejohanson for the idea!

Mulla tulee tässä *Optimuksella paljon typoja kirjoittamaani tekstiin ja se johtuu vain enimmäkseen siitä, että mulla on ollut jonkin aikaa Kailh Red kytkimillä varustettu mekaaninen näppäimistö.

Edellisessä näppäimistössä oli ruskeat kytkimet. Näiden etu oli taktiilinen palaute. Eli tunsin jokaisen näppäyksen kunnolla samalla kun kirjoitan.

Punaisen kytkimen kohdalla ei mene ihan näin, vaan jokainen painallus on kuin kevyt täppäys ja joskus tuntuu etten ole painanut ollenkaan ja tuplavarmistan välillä painalluksia. Tästä tulee ylimääräisiä kirjaimia tekstiin ja tästä johtuen myös kirjaimia jää välistä tai se löytyy hassuista paikoista.

Kytkimillä on väliä. Seuraava näppäimistöni pitäisi olla joko ruskealla kytkimellä tai vastaavalla, mutta uutta punaista en mielellään ottaisi.

*Optimus on pöytäkoneeni nimi 🤓
