I guess you like it then :)

Still using Ducky Shine Yellow Edition with MX blacks and Filco yellow keycaps at work, and currently QFR MX blacks and Tai Hao black/orange PBT keycaps at home (generally swapped out for SSK on the weekends).

Poker X with blacks. It's the only mech I've committed to and I like it.

Blacks are pretty awesome in my opinion, getting some switches shipped to me soon for a project so looking forward to expanding my horizons

My office board.

(I can't take snaps in the office, so this was the other day when I took it home to have a quick tune up)

DSA is ok. I'm waiting on Hack'd By Geeks which is being shipped along with my HyperFuse order.

Lots of beautiful KBs in here! I just swapped out my Model M for a Tesoro Durandal at the office. The MX switches take some getting used to after using hearty buckling springs for so long.

Im using a Noppoo EC108 Pro w/ 40g Topre clones with MX Cherry stems. Probably wont be keeping it.

I've been using my Focus FK-2001 since it arrived on Monday

I find the switches (white Alps) to be a bit too stiff, but at least these ones are in good condition unlike the other white Alps board I have, which is unbearable to use.

SA profile will take some getting used to after spending some time on DSA, but I think you will eventually come to really appreciate it. And Hack'd by Geeks caps look even better in person, IMO.

I really wish I had got one just for those caps lol. Nice looking keyboard too, but I really like those caps.

Did you get the blanks from Unicomp?

Something you may want to try, if you haven't come across it already, is to order a set of 4 or 8 grey blanks and put that either in the center or on both sides of the number row. That way, you can have a blank board but still have something to reference the number row, and it doesn't really look out of place.

Looking great, though. Love the blank beige/grey combination.

Still using my "silenced" Novatouch with my Hack'd by Geeks set. I love it. I just put a towel under the board to isolate it from the desk. The difference in noise is so noticeable, damn. I had to since I woke up my girlfriend otherwise. I should do some recording at some point when I have the motivation and the time.

Oh wow, didn't notice that. On a Mac, you can probably live without ESC for many things (you can often type CMD+. to stop or cancel something), but there are definitely shortcuts for a lot of things that require CTRL. I guess early Apple OSes didn't need it.

I noticed Esc was missing straight away!

The usual alternative would be Ctrl-[ and then I noticed Ctrl was missing too

Dell SK-8115. One at home, one at work. Pretty darn good for a rubber dome over membrane. I disassembled one for painting, and learned why I like these Dells. Slider (attached to keycap) in a channel over the rubber dome sheet. Under the domes are a pair of membranes, very much like what are in an IBM Model M.

I painted the one I use at home white. Now I just need to swap those green LEDs for blue ones.

Switched to using a slightly larger keyboard from my HHKB Pro 2 to a Realforce 87u 55g. I've been using the Realforce for most of my daily computing activities, and have moved my HHKB for use with my Raspberry Pi projects. Hard to go wrong with these ones.. they make my work a little bit more enjoyable.

I am using my new (to me) purchase.

New keycaps come next week, and I am going to change from the Maltron format (it has a Maltron and a QWERTY layer, accessible by the top left button) to a home brewed variant.

It's okay to feel jealous.

I use a Rosewill RK-9000 Cherry MX Red for my gaming system.
The keycaps are a hodgepodge of some cheap red caps I purchased from Ebay, the original Rosewill caps, and some caps from a Leopold Otaku.
