Rosewill RK9000v2 mx brown - gaming rig
vorted pok3r - backpack for use with my laptop when im gone for work. Thinking about busting out the old pok3r for the desktop again. Only reason I bought the rosewill is because i needed the arrow pad for an old game i wanted to play again and it was on sale on newegg.

Swapped in Noppoo TANK simply because it's the least broken of all my keyboards.

A whole collection and none of them work well enough not to annoy me. This hobby pisses me off sometimes.

Mechanical keyboards are more complex; hence more opportunities for things to go wrong.

You don't hear too many complaints from folks stroking their Hakko.

Finally managed to get a job that: a) pays me well enough, and b) sees me doing enough writing, to justify dropping a whole wad of cash on an HHKB2. Would possibly have preferred a white one but a local collector was selling this for a very reasonable price (in comparison to importing a white one myself), so I decided that I could live with the black.

It's good. Liking it more and more each day.

I'm not finding it as unusual as I expected it to be, and I seem to be getting along with it fine, but on the rare occasion I accidentally press ` everything just goes out the window for a few seconds while I try and re-orient myself (without stopping and looking down at the board, that is).

Really nice board though, and the backspace/delete position is starting to slowly make a lot of sense.

smknjoe · « **Reply #4410 on:** Sat, 14 May 2016, 22:59:21 »

Yeah, you get used to the layout pretty quickly. It's modeled after the Sun keyboards from 35 years ago...lot's of people think it's a "new" layout.

ironic moustache · « **Reply #4411 on:** Sat, 14 May 2016, 23:53:31 »

I've been running with a swapped control and caps lock for the couple of years so I have absolutely zero issues with having control there on the HHKB2. It's just the backspace that still causes a few issues occasionally.

good old filco majestouch 2 TKL, cherry mx brown with R3 gamer set. (i don't even game, i just like the colour variation.)

Filco MT2 (mx-reds) .. quite pleased with it, put PBT double shots on it..

Waateva · « **Reply #4414 on:** Mon, 16 May 2016, 15:23:58 »

My new KUL ES-87 with MX Greens came today so I swapped out my V2 to give it a shot. Oddly enough, I feel like it is quieter than the V2 by a decent margin even though they both have Greens.

QuincyJones · « **Reply #4415 on:** Mon, 16 May 2016, 15:58:57 »

Kinesis advantage. It feels far more natural than it looks.

jaffers · « **Reply #4416 on:** Mon, 16 May 2016, 16:00:46 »

Yesterday I tried to use my model M but I am so used to the CTRL and backspace position of the HHKB that I just couldn't get used to it. And yes I tried using autohotkey but a lot of programs don't like it and just break the program.

So I am back to using my CP-SQ1800

My new WASD VP3 (a rebranded POK3R) It's my first 60%. I think I might be hooked.

Max Blackbird in Green Gaterons MXC's w/SIP socket mod in each and every switch, White LED's installed in side panels.

For keycaps, currently I have Modern Selectric with Row 1 Blue/Black blanks on the top/F row, but I have Danger Zone planned.

Final touch, installed a sound-dampening pad between the layers.

I love this thing!

That's nice!

Little things like the slight bevel at the front to make it more comfortable to use.

I'm using my HHKB btw. It's weekdays so I have to use a quieter keyboard.

Thanks to my other half making me tidy the computer room (not a small task) I found the broken switch and, more importantly, missing left arrow keycaps, from my NEC APC-H4100E keyboard!

And with a couple of adapters to convert AT to PS/2, and then PS/2 to USB ...

It works! On my Mac!

Although the long space bar is taking some getting used to.

This is the very keyboard that prompted me to join GH. I learned a lot of my programming skills on a keyboard like this many years ago.

Thanks to XMIT for the replacement switch

My new "main driver" is a WASD v2 with MX Greens and the two rightmost modifier keys swapped out for MX Locks. I'm also practicing with a Kinesis Advantage with Gateron Blues in the keywells and Greens in the thumb clusters, with two of the small left-thumb keys again swapped for MX Locks.

The Kinesis is hard to get used to, but I think it's repairing some bad typing habits of mine

Yeah, I have to be careful to type softly on calls because the mic picks it up and it's obnoxious. The WASD has O-rings which helps, but the Kinesis doesn't and it's like an automatic rifle going off.

I use a V2 with Greens at work too, or at least during tax season I do. Now that it's the off-season I swapped in a TKL with Greens instead

I've been meaning to spring swap my greens with 135g springs but the guy that was suppose to send me a sample never got around to it.
