I'm getting away with an SSK for the weekend, as long as I'm not up too late typing on it while everyone else is trying to sleep.

Back to HHKB for next week though.

I'm going to ignore the obvious questions and get to the real meat of the topic at hand.

How on earth did you get an upside down Menu key?

Alternated through cherry red and cherry blue, but I settled on the 45g Topre switch. Specifically, I'm using a Realforce 45g uniform TKL.

Brand new NMB RT8255C+ with clicky Space Invaders. It's my 3rd space invaders board but being brand new is a little different.

Going to do a review on this keyboard in the near future as it's really quirky. For example, the clicker is a unique piece that doesn't really affect travel (nor can it really be felt). As such, you can activate the key without a click. It also clicks on both the downstroke and the upstroke, but depending on how far you press/release it.

You can also remove the clicker piece easily from any switch, so you can choose which keys are clicky and which are linear. I kind of like not having clicky spacebar, shift, and enter keys.

Very interesting board indeed.

Back to my work horse, the QFR. While the Pok3r is awesome, I truly hadn't realized how much I use the F keys, home/end/page up/page down and arrow keys. Now I know for sure, it's tenkeyless for me.

Since I have bought it, my tasks have involved mostly typing and so I have been typically spending nearly 4-5 hours each weekday doing that. I find the variable to be particularly suited for typing.

I am not a programmer, but I daresay I am going to start programming soon

. I haven't played a game on PC in nearly four years, so I couldn't tell you how good it would be for that purpose.

Everyone says that variable weighting is not good for gaming, and I can understand way, but I don't think I've ever read a comment from someone who has actually tried it.

I can understand how variable would feel weird when playing games. One might expect the same crisp response from an 'A' as from a 'D'--only to be disappointed.

I did a little bit of Verilog and Tcl, but nothing major that would require me spending hours typing special characters the way coders do. However, a majority of these characters being in the 40-30 g range, I would presume the typing to be more ergonomic compared to a 55 g (or even a 45 g). But I cannot be a 100% certain and so I will be sure to share my experience on programming with a variable when I get a chance to do so.

My regular KB is the Ducky Zero Brown.
Compared to the Filco the Ducky Zero has more wiggling keys and the spacebar sound on the filco is also better, all in all i would say the filco is the better product even with the higher price.
