@jamsterWhen you have a light keyboard, and want to make it heavier, you attach weights.
When you have a heavy keyboard, and you want to make it lighter, you buy a new keyboard.
With the former approach, you can also make the weight unevenly distributed, so the damn thing doesn't fall off your knees when you type while being curled up in a train or a bus, for example.
Or better yet, sandwich the carbon with some li-ion prismatic cells. You keep the weight you want, and get a powerbank. #justdigitalnomadthings
Agreed that carbon fiber is pretty limited when it comes to complex shapes.
I've seen research that correlated carbon fibers to health problems, they act similarly to asbestos, carve up your lungs badly. Also heard it can accumulate in the environment.
So, agreed that it's better not to cut that stuff if you don't know what you're doing.
I have no idea how to machine or safely dispose of carbon fiber, not gonna touch it.
Still, mechanically, this is a pretty awesome material.
@appleonamaused hhkb for some time, it was meh. Got back to Logitech UltraX (1st gen).
I love the keyboards of X60-X61 thinkpads, those things are tops, feels are awesome, and they cram so many buttons in such a tight space you can reach most of them with one hand, while still being comfy to type on. Also, trackpoint.
@iLLucionistTrue, this. Located in EU too, was thinking about expatting myself, but can't decide on a location.
@FindecanorYeah! Filthy lie!
I think that placing your super awesome keyboard on top of a laptop keyboard looks stupid. Just get a tablet instead.
