Got a two-key keyboard. XD002
« on: Tue, 27 March 2018, 04:05:00 »


Just got a 2-key keyboard.

To be honest, I never use a 2-key keyboard.

Actually, dunno what it is for  :D

I think this is know as 'The Spirit of "Why not".'

Imagine a conversation and someone asks what you would use a 2-key keyboard for and a response could be "Why not?".

Yeah, it means that sometimes it doesn't matter why we do something. It's the doing that matters and is fun/fulfilling in itself.

Ah, thanks.

Didn't get the meaning at the beginning.

Understood right now.

Cheers.

If you need a reason, I bet the internals are pretty nice because of the small size, almost a demo of that ;D

I also can't think of a reason though -- maybe a 6 key pad is the lowest I could see reasonable for personal use.

emm, thank you for kindly reply. :)

I barely use keyboards lower than TKL for daily. Maybe I am not a keyboard maker? I have no idea. I would like to know what situation people would use 2, 5 or 6 key pad. :)

There is no situation in which someone would use a 2-key keyboard other than purely for the novelty of it.  It's basically a joke.

Things like 5 or 6 key boards are typically used as a supplement to a normal keyboard for macros or just extra programmable buttons.  I guess you could do the same with a 2-key but it seems like a low number of keys even for that purpose...

I've seen a bunch of six-keys being sold that are advertised as gaming macro keypads. Could be especially useful for those with 40/60% keyboards as well.
