| cmaloney | https://www.pinterest.com/michiganhumane/a-small-and-furrys-paradise/ | 13:56 |
| cmaloney | brousch: I hope I gave you some pause with that link. :) | 13:57 |
| brousch | I actually know a few furries here | 13:58 |
| brousch | Hm, I could stay at my sister's house. She is 15mins away from it | 14:02 |
| cmaloney | brousch: We'd love you to come down and be here. :) | 14:10 |
| cmaloney | It's a lot of fun | 14:10 |
| cmaloney | Afternoon and all | 18:19 |
| brousch | Here you go, keyboard fetishists http://www.toptal.com/embedded/from-the-ground-up-how-i-built-the-developers-dream-keybooard | 18:25 |
| cmaloney | Sorry, that's not my dream keyboard by any stretch | 19:19 |
| cmaloney | 1) hate split keyboards 2) hate hiding esc, Fn keys | 19:20 |
| cmaloney | 3) hate hate hate splitkeyboards | 19:20 |
| cmaloney | 4) If you're going to split the keyboard you need to have a better anchor than just rubber feet | 19:21 |
| mthx|laptop | I just ordered myself this keyboard last week <http://www.daskeyboard.com/daskeyboard-4C-professional/> | 20:13 |
| akelling | mmmm keyboard porn | 20:25 |
| * akelling loves his Unicomp | 20:25 | |
| greg-g | Kinesis for life. | 20:29 |
| rick_h_ | unicomp is nice but needs a 10less, kenisis ftw if you have wrist issues. | 20:45 |
| rick_h_ | and that one in the blog post is interesting but is really just a split keyboard. the freestyle's been doing that and with better ergo https://www.kinesis-ergo.com/shop/freestyle2-for-pc-us/ | 20:46 |
| rick_h_ | mthx|laptop: the das is just an overpriced cherry keyboard. get a filco and save some $$ without the badge. "With Incredible Psycho-Acoustic Experience" lol | 20:49 |
| rick_h_ | though the usb hub in there is cool I guess, but it's usb2 | 20:50 |
| brousch | But his is hand made | 20:52 |
| brousch | I expect a wooden version from you within 6 months | 20:52 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 20:52 |
| rick_h_ | I'll just keep using my kenisis and when not on this my thinkpad keyboards | 20:52 |
| cmaloney | I've enjoyed my Leopold keyboards, but they're on the cheaper-end | 20:55 |
| cmaloney | not as resiliant to my rages. :) | 20:55 |
| brousch | Your fingers lay on this thing for hours each day. Shouldn't they be touching keys you've hand-crafted with love? | 20:56 |
| cmaloney | brousch: Too many ways to go horribly wrong with that last sentence. | 20:57 |
| akelling | I always liked the MS Split keyboards that they have not made in years | 20:58 |
| akelling | Think they where called the Natrual line up and they where cheap too. | 20:59 |
| mthx|laptop | rick_h_: Filco looks decent. It's very bland though, and there is that problematic windows icon on the super key. I have been testing out one of my coworkers Das 4 Ultimates for a bit now and it feels and looks amazing. It feels so much better than my Logitech G105 and my Apple Keyboard. As important as function is, I also really appreciate how asthetically apealing the 4 Ultimate is, and also the 4C professional. I also detest havi | 21:01 |
| mthx|laptop | ng a windows icon on keyboard. The Das logo is an acceptable replacment. Yes, aesthetics are very important to me. Several mechanical keyboards never made it past the first round because they were horribly ugly (sorry Unicomp). I had not see filco before, but there's nothing stand out about the way it looks. | 21:01 |
| mthx|laptop | Correction* The one I've been testing is the DAS 3 Ultimate. | 21:06 |
| cmaloney | mthx|laptop: I'm surprised the Logitech G105 made it so far in your aesthetics filtering | 21:09 |
| cmaloney | That's one ugly keyboard. :) | 21:09 |
| mthx|laptop | It was a replacement keyboard for one that I spilled apple juice on a year or so ago :( I needed something quick, so it was whatever best buy had. | 21:09 |
| cmaloney | yeah, anything Logitech G-series is ugly IMHO | 21:10 |
| cmaloney | Had one for a while, and returned it | 21:10 |
| cmaloney | Th eold amber one (not the one with the display) | 21:11 |
| mthx|laptop | Which btw, apple juice is nearly impossible to completely remove. I disassembled my old one several times and deep cleaned it, but it was forever sticky. | 21:11 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, it's as bad as Mt. Dew | 21:12 |
