I really want a filco majestouch cherry browns tenkeyless, more specifically this ninja version but I don't know if I want to wait around (for I dont know how long until release), or just get the regular one (non-ninja) . :/


WWRD?

For some odd reasons, I can't go on the first page of this thread because it makes firefox "not responding" and I have to kill the process.
I turned off javascript, images, flash player, nothing works.

I can access the 2nd and 3rd page without a problem though. Anybody knows why*?

You are right.

I'm using Opera and it has no problems, firefox is confused (it draws wrongly the orange border and other oddities)

This will be very important: a keyboard that can't be used by a non touch typist vampire.

It's a basic feature that every kb should have...

is it to do with being left handed / playing games / aesthetics / space saving?

As a left handed mouser tenkeyless is actually inferior as the tenkey section is what I use for FPS games. That said, I primarily play RTS games and the tenkeyless is just more awesome.

I think it has something to do with CephalicCarnage and his images.
Open the source code, see the src attributes to his img tags. **** is long.

Guys I just cant decide. I am thinking it would be nice to have the extra room for the mouse. But somehow I like the look of the full version. I am torn really. What to do.

But having said that I dont really use the keypad all that much. I just type words a lot.

This is my first mechanical keyboard so I need to really think things through. hehe. hmm.

It's the Chinese that get green and blue confused.  The Japanese have a separate word.

Kanji>Simplified Chinese

 
Its the other way around
The kanji for Green and Blue are the same 青
Thus you have 青森 in Japan with literally means 'green forest', or 青空 which means 'blue Sky'

In Chinese, they are 蓝 for blue and 青 or 绿 which means green.
I think the Chinese just took what the Japanese translated for the Cherry switches and used it as well.

I bet they do it like that so they can confuse westerners with their special Kanji. Are you jelly cause you can't do that in Italian? Or can you?

All the italians I know forgo the 2000 Kanji and have 2000 kids instead.  My Italian friends then marry each other and now have literally a birthday party or ballet recital or little league game every single night.  All first cousins.

Anyway.  I think the Ninja will catch on HUGE in China (and maybe other places in Asia) because they love to have something different and exclusive that makes them look leet.  Wait, I do to. :D

Yes I'm Italian and for me even the random spelling used in english is already too much.

Btw our revenge comes with the grammar which is way more complicated than the one used in English and in other languages.

Given that Italians are just 60 millions, and Chinese 1.4 milliards, i presume there's "something" wrong in your sentence... :becky:

Having learned the term milliard in a Chemistry course, I'm happy to see it in use here.  My first time seeing it actually used outside of class actually.

Just another way America is so different lol.

I used it purposely, I'm perfectly aware that you think that 1 billion = 1000 millions.

BTW, is better to use billion instead of milliard than using ANSI instead of ISO :happy:

Considering that the modern Japanese writing uses alot of Kanji (which is just chinese characters), it's pretty easy to understand most of it, if you have studied the Chinese language before.
