I love the "candy" shapes of these keys, the case, part of why I decided okay this is the one. I wanted a bit more pink but I Was very curious how these felt and they're cute if nothing else.

Instruction manual is embarassingly Chinese -> English and apparently the software isn't hosted anywhere but a weird zip file which are the biggest problems, but the knockoff cherry browns feel fine

Another IBM Model M buckling spring keyboard from 1984 rescued from a dumpster decades ago now cleaned up and in perfect condition.

I am still a bigger IBM Model F fan, but this is a very close second.

There is absolutely nothing like this.

Looking at again, keychron seems like the top option for customizable tenkeyless, any other suggestions?

I'd like something a bit more colorful than black, maybe pink. Thinking tenkeyless, not sure about the even smaller ones. I do use the arrow keys sometimes

@PhDee ohhh the kit doesn't include caps or switches, bleh yeah I'll pass on that for now and get the prebuilt. I'll have to assemble the HE80 anyway so I might as well take it easy with my first 65 and ease into it

I'd get just the case from the Iterkeebs and slap the KLUDGE one in it, but the case is 60 and the prebuilt is 65. Don't think there's a good way to make that work

PhDee,

@SirTapTap

Ah, in that case, yeah I think you should just stick with the RK.

Hmm... TINT60 has less keys so you'll have to trim the RK68 board if you want to fit it in (also assuming the switch spacing is the same too, and screw holes).

I've seen some people making custom acrylic and 3D printed cases specifically for the RK68, but can't find it on Amazon. Maybe you'll have to look somewhere else where you usually shop.

Oor maybe you can spray paint if you fancy trying that. Hydro-dipping?

That has almost exactly the same layout as the . How strange.

The QWERTY keyboard has become so powerful in creating the Right Side Bias that the names of babies have been shifted by the bias.

This and a massive amount of other bias created by typing rather then speaking has helped create the communications tragedy we have in 2020.

The QWERTY keyboard had a very deep impact across a number of areas.

Called the QWERTY effect and the Right Side Ratio/Bias and posits that essentially the mechanical load and cognitive load to reach certain keys make humans disfavor using those keys.

1985 IBM Model M keyboard.

It is the peak non-typewriter keyboard experience.

I have done studies on how it increases productivity with ANYONE.

I picked up a dozen found in a dumpster in 1988.

astifter,

Oh well. The book arrived relatively quickly and safely. And its not like its delivered to the wrong place because of those errors. (Having made enough encoding blunders myself I'm a little bit more lenient maybe...)

@astifter I appreciate your attitude immensely, but FedEx should be able to throw $10 million at this problem or whatever it would cost to fix it! It is non-revenue-generated, is the problem. (Or it might be our shipping partner, but I can see ü’s in some of the FedEx side of things, so probably not.)
