Post the top of your keyboard
« on: Sat, 05 October 2013, 11:10:29 »
One of the reasons I like the model M and a lot of the older keyboards, is the storage space above the keys for various commonly accesed things, or fragile things, or whatever. 



As you can see, I keep some screwdrivers, a pen, some old processors, random laptop memory, some AS5, and a Wheelwriter wheel thingie. 

What do you keep on the "storage space" of your keyboard?

When I used the Logitech G15 I used to keep my to-do lists, sometimes a pen, tablet stylus, USB stick, or similar things on the top.

Now I use a compact board.

Back in the day when I had an old all-in-one computer, I used to scribble important notes on the case (which is where the top of your keyboard is, but higher, and extending further backwards).

When I eventually sold it, the entire top was a maze of important pencil scribblings.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
