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.

I've tested hundreds of keyboards and the 20-year-old classic Das Keyboard has held up better than any - how do modern ones compare?

I just found out about KeyCon, a mechanical keyboard convention happening in DC tomorrow.

I would 100% be there if it weren't for the ridiculous birthday parade clusterf*cking up the city. They picked the wrong day for this thing.

On the hardware side of my dev setup I made 2 changes:

Switched from #Realforce TKL keyboard to #HHKB Pro Hybrid Type-S. Those #topre switches are endgame, and while I had the same ones in the Realforce, the overall feel of HHKB, its layout, size, weight, feels great. It forced me to start using ctrl in caps-lock position due to its layout, which is something I wanted to try in the past but never had enough will. Should have done this earlier, because it feels great.

Looking for a programming keyboard. Top $100 at best.

@ogi Brilliant, thanks. I'd never heard of #topre switches. Unfortunately I can't find any ISO UK #tenkeyless keyboards with Topre switches that ship to my location. ISO JP is the closest for an eye-watering £250 plus shipping.

Craziness. On our trip to Memphis last week, we wandered into this quaint little boutique in midtown called The Wren's Nest. My wife and daughter set about trying on French dresses and such, while I wandered about idly, trying to entertain myself.

As I poked about the shelves, I came upon a display of four extreme-level custom keyboards and I've never found such an out of place treasure, completely out of the blue!

I re-enact my surprise encounter in this short video. Enjoy. 🙂

The owner's son put these together, apparently, including an also awesome board at the POS system on the back desk.

Amazing keyboards!

I got a #Leopold FC980C for my bday bc I wanted to see what #Topre switches were like. It was specifically ordered from a Korean importer bc I wanted 한글 #keycaps. The switches sound great, though I wish it had 45g vs 30g actuation force. I tend to rest my hands on the home row and I've unintentionally inserted characters into docs I'm reading a lot. The #pbt keycaps feel wonderful, but they're black-on-black which defeats the purpose of using this keyboard to better my 한글 typing proficiency.
