I know. I just couldn't resist the allure of the dad pun.
Sadly I don't have much choice of kind of switch: it's for a keyboard for use in a shared office.
I use mx black at home and find them good to type on.
I ended up buying a switch tester. Just waiting for it to arrive from aliexpress.

Simple. Don't buy HP ever again.

Hah, that's a good one. We don't really have that where I'm from.

That would be the logical thing to do. I'm being impatient, but you are probably right. If I'm dropping that kind of money, I'd better get the switches right.
Hey,
I'm choosing keys switches.
I have to choose between kailh red or the pro red (for a zsa voyager).
I'm torn because I'm reading online that many find the normal reds too stiff, but I'm worried that the pro red won't allow me to rest on the home row without misfires.
I absolutely do rest my fingers on the home row. Especially when starting typing. I use the concave feel of the caps to confirm I'm in the right place to start.
My research suggests that the mx blacks I use at home are stiffer than the reds (60gf, but much more travel), and the keys on my thinkpad are in theory stiffer too (57gf).
Has anyone here trodden this same path? Any insights?
It's not worse than the one outside gatwick south terminal long stay. That's for sure.
Hey folks, me again.
Those of you who went from a larger keyboard to a smaller one that required the use of layers: was the transition hard? Could you still type on the old keyboard after?
Context: I was asking the other day about which ortholinear to get for commuting. Although the glove80 is the closest to my current home desktop keyboard, I've ruled it out as I don't think it will fit in my backpack. If it does, it will take up too much space.
So I'm looking at something like the voyager, but with such a small keyboard, there will be a learning curve. I'm used to ortholinear, but I've never used layers. And if I manage to adapt, it'd be nice to still be able to use my desktop keywell keyboard at home.
Thoughts?
Ergodox
I've been looking for a photo of a ergodox ez and a voyager side-by-side. Trying to figure out how luggable the EZ will be.
Voyager looks amazingly luggable, but I'm not sure if I can live with so few keys.
This reminds me of my struggle with yoga.
Stretching: good. Magic energy: sigh...
Can you tell me about your experience with it?
Do you find it easy to lug around in a backpack? Is it easy to set up after you've ported it?
I'm slightly worried that the layout configurator is web-based and could disappear at any moment. Is there an offline tool you can use for the same purpose?
Ah, it says on their website that the first revision was developed in 1976:
The first keyboard, (top image), was shown at the News Tec exhibition, Brighton, in December 1976
The thumb cluster was different back then, but the ortholinear scoop was there.
Thanks for the slice mk suggestion.
I dont know when the M3D was first manufactured, but I assumed maltron were the first with that design since they've been in the game since the 70s.
Hey,
I'm looking for a portable ortholinear for taking to co-working in my backpack.
For context, I'm a coder. I use neovim all day. At home I use a maltron 3d. It's a fantastic comfortable keyboard (I think kinesis nicked the design?), although it did take getting used to.
It's the only keyboard I've ever been able to touch type on.
So yeah. I'd like to find something similar that is portable. It has to have quiet switches, as it's a shared office. Any suggestions?
So far I've looked at:
Those all look nice, but are too expensive.
How does the ergodox ez hold up these days?
Imagine... "I just love sitting through annoying unskippable ads so much! And I simply can't wait to see more ads still when I pause!"
I thought that these personality tests had been debunked?
We had the myers briggs test back in the day, and I've heard on couple podcasts that these tests (including MB) are highly questionable.
As it happens, the latest maintenance phase podacst is about the MB test:

Sadly that's what the human race does. It's nothing unique to nuclear power.
It still baffles me, for example, that with all this technology, we still generate all this rubbish which we then bury in the ground. And we all know it. We all buy things in disposable packaging. We are all complicit.
Police were called after the body of a man was found near a children’s play park.

Hi,
Several posts I've made to /c/fountainpens have not made it to lemmy.world from the lemmy.sdf.org instance.
If you compare these two urls, you can see that the top post (and several others) are only visible when viewed from sdf:
https://lemmy.world/c/fountainpens https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/fountainpens@lemmy.world
I've looked at the debugging tool and the sdf instance thinks that outbound lemmy.world is up to date, so has lemmy.world rejected the posts somehow?
It seems to happen non-deterministically. Some posts have made it through. This has been ongoing for at least a couple of weeks now.
Any ideas?
Edit: this post did federate... could it be to do with posts with images or something?
Hi,
I posted twice to a community on lemmy.world and wondered why no one upvoted or replied.
If I go to the the community directly via a web browser my posts don't show.
Is federation broken again?

Asides from what was mentioned in the article, I think the current rules are unforgiving of children who have family abroad whose school holidays don't align.
