What Keyboard Are You Using Now?

[Coff_man]

I have my Ducky 9008 G2 as my daily driver but I am wanting to get a 84 key board in the near future.

Microsoft Surface Touch keyboard....can only get about 30wpm but it's nearly weightless.

Honestly, that's one thing I really love about my Surface...can deal with a crappy keyboard experience when I want to go ultra light travelling, but can plug in my Poker when I want to get down to business.

Swype on the galaxy S5

just from curiosity you travel a lot? cause you got pretty cool stuff in reviews project keyboards so I cannot think any other reason why to punish yourself with that.

Yes I travel a lot for pleasure and I often don't carry my laptop with me; just my phone.

SwiftKey > Swype!

I'll have to give it a try. Swype isn't my favorite and the default keyboard on the S5 is so so.

Does linux have a solid touch screen lib? I'm not sure, but having that setup with linux would be a pretty solid option for me.

I have no idea about touch lib for Linux.

Though it's been a very long time since my days of compiling kernels and having my Linux nerd hat on, I think it's not really designed for touch anyway. I guess someone could make a touch centered WM, but most of the ones I knew had too much hovering, small buttons, etc.

Ubuntu has a version of their desktop OS for android. Not sure of all the details there, but there may be some touch-friendly libraries rolled in there. Don't know how compatible they would be, but it's worth a quick look at least.

I got a friend for my Model M today, a shiny SSK. Pics when I feel like it

Still using a 60% Pure. Thinking of getting a Noko leather wrist rest to complement it

I have been thinking about Noko as well, they look so beautiful but I don't think my wallet can take another hit.

Hildon or Enlightenment are fine for ultraportables/MIDs, but expect some rough edges and patching apps. Pen-enabled Tablet PCs are similar, maybe a bit better, although it requires a lot of GUI tuning too (software keyboard, custom widget themes, gestures, remapping).

Unity sucks.

cross post from post your phantom

currently using a standard layout phantom with stock clears, the clears are from an older board and feel different in a better way but that could also be a combination of the thick POM caps and other things etc.

I'm slowly losing my dependence on the numberpad

I've been using this Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 at work for a few weeks now since I don't really have a full size with linear or Clear switches. The new office is quiet enough where I can't rock Blues anymore. I'm pretty sick of rubber domes.

I highly highly recommend the Topre Type Heaven.  It has won the award of longest owned board in my inventory.

I'll never buy a Topre board. They hurt my hands when I bottom out and I don't want to change my typing style. I'm building a Leeku 1800 or 3000 so I'll have a board I can use soon.

My experience mirrors yours but only with the Realforce.  After extended period of time the 87U/104U caused a severe buzzing sensation in my joints that didn't feel very good.  However, the Type Heaven and 660C feel heavenly in comparison (IMHO of course..)

That's why I always joke that I hope the Novatouch is made in China and not Japan

A phantom was a pcb (and build components I think) group buy. In short it is a custom TKL keyboard.

Wow dude this is gorgeous.

What keyset is this? I like the caps shape!! Can you give me more info thanks!

[Enigma]

It's nothing fancy compared to everyone else's in here, but it's the only mech I've got and I built it myself so I'm proud of it. 



Converted to USB from an old Chicony board and housed in a poorly crafted wooden case  . I'm dying to get a nice new set of keycaps on here, I'm really looking for a nice DSA set.

[Vaii]

Best potato quality picture, wtb light outside.

but yeah recently picked this up and have been loving it eversince.

Thanks.  They are two different sets of IMSTO's thick PBT.   The shape is Cherry profile.

finally managed to get my hands on a US layout shine 3 TKL with greens to complement my g9x on green aswell (razer destructor pad still holding strong without a mark after daily usage in 6 years +)
mx browns ..and loving it so far!

[limitz]

Daily driver is a 104-key CODE in Clear w/ some SP doubleshot caps.

[CPTBadAss]

I finally remembered to bring a mechanical keyboard into my new office. Test driving the Cherry MX 3.0 Board for an upcoming review. I'm not the biggest fan of Reds and they still feel *much* better than the rubberdomes in my Microsoft Ergonomic 4000. I love that board for its shape but....I guess I can't really use any rubberdomes besides the DT35 and IBM RT now.

[davkol]

I'm already x-posting it all over the place, so why not here?

It's a 15×8 PS/2 Access-IS keypad with two programmable layers. It has plate-mounted Cherry MX Black switches and I've put thick Cherry POM (black) and PBT (hellgrau) keycaps on them. Feels amazing.

The layout is inspired by TypeMatrix 2030 that I use for travelling. The difference is that I've configured it to three-column hand separation and placed the missing keys like brackets on the extra layer. The two bottom rows are full of modifiers and navigation/whitespace keys; the keycaps are of different profiles, thus I can press mods on one row without accidentaly pressing the key above/under it as well. I use my palms to press keys in the corners, pinkies to press keys above them and thumbs to press keys... under thumbs.

I'm using this as my primary keyboard, until I rebuild my ErgoDox.

[ficklampa]

At this very moment I am using they built in keyboard on my old macbook air. Though normally I use my Filco TKL I've had for a few years now. Still in love with the cherry browns. Works great for both gaming and typing.
 
At work I have a Ducky TKL G2Pro (I think it's called at least) Special Mix, it has both browns and clears. Sweet combo actually.

I wish mine had dye subs. Great keyboard.

[Acknown3]

I actually sold my regular 660C to buy the one with dye subs. It was a bit of an impulse decision, but the faded legends were bothering me too.

Leopold needs to wise up and just sell those caps on their own.
