I prefer the Mac-style nubs on the D and K keys. It's far more comfortable once you get the hang of it. It feels more "centered".
Thoughts?

ZOMG ripster totally agrees with me :cool:
-
only because they look like boobs who doesnt like boobs
I mean nipples
-
and stop sexualizing keyboards. i'm getting brainwashed over here... while back i refered to my gf's tits as "tactile bumps" and she punched me in the keystem :(

dk stands for "Don't Know".
you are a cruel and heartless monster.

Science Over Emotion Is My Motto!
Does that help you get laid?

I have no problem with F and J. Given me enough time, I believe I will be happy with D and K as well. I would only find it problematic if I am to switch between the two frequently. Otherwise, we human beings tend to be able to adapt to small things like that over time.

But I don't have $100
so ronery ;_;

I think I'm going to go spend some alone time with my keyboard now...

I had to look for the nubs on my keyboard since I don't "home" those keys.
My "home" is shift-a-s-d and k-l-;-' or sometimes shift-a-w-d and k-o-p-' or maybe l-p-[-enter. No seriously.
My kb has the little line nub at the bottom of F and J and I am very happy to not be able to detect it unless searching for it.
-
F+J only. I swap keys on my M3501 to keep the nubs on the pointer fingers.

I'm sure God invented titties to help men get centered as well.
And yet they clearly throw women off-balance, how ironic.
God is a misogynist fo sho

You are an unique and beautiful snowflake:cheer2:

I prefer the normal-style nubs on the F and J keys. It's far more comfortable once you get the hang of it. It feels more "natural".
To the point where I despise Mac keyboards. I just hate that feeling on the center of the key. With the FJ nubs, you only feel it if you try.

The "deepdish (http://ec1img.pchome.com.tw/pic/v1/data/item/201010/D/C/A/H/0/X/DCAH0X-A50272833000_4cbbf9a7883d2)" F and J keys are pretty sweet. Those little bumps look more like untrimmed flashing then something purposeful.

I was a Mac user for 17 years, and when I finally switched over to PC keyboards, I did miss the feeling of those two firm, upright nipples poking at my middle fingers. The underscores on F and J, which I couldn't even feel unless I massaged the keys with my index fingers, seemed wimpy and ineffectual to me. However, I must note that I did not touch-type at the time. I only learned to do so a few years after graduating from Mac to Linux.
If I had been a touch typist during my Mac days, I might have found the D and K nipples somewhat inconvenient. Or maybe the middle-finger nipples would actually be better for touch typing than the index-finger underscores. I just don't know. All I know for sure is that I still miss the sensation of those nipples. Then again, I also miss the 512 x 342 monochrome CRT (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/50/Apple_Macintosh_Desktop.png) of the original Macintosh, and I probably wouldn't be more productive on such a screen today than I am with my 1920 x 1200 color LCD.

F and J is the only way. Also D and K only applies to old Mac boards, they're all FJ these days as well (double checked on all the Macs in the office).
-
I was ready to just say F and J and be done with it, but after giving it some thought I think I might prefer D and K. I'd have to try it, but I dunno something about that just sounds a little nicer. I think it's because I could still feel it if my hand was off to the left/right since it wouldn't be on the outermost key, and that way I'd be able to get my bearings on the keyboard more easily.
-
The first thing I always do on an AEK (I or II) that I have to use is swap the nubs to the F and J locations. Otherwise it totally throws me off.
I'm sure I could adjust if I was using it long term, but...I just don't like them on my middle fingers.
-
wha? i didn't know mac's did d/k... why? oh well, the joys of being anti mac.
btw i'm good with either nubs or concave, but prefer nubs.
-
I'm used to nubs, but I've like the deeper curve as well. It let's you know the same information and is very comfortable to use. Too bad I don't have any keyboards with those now.
-
I prefer the nubs on U and H :smile:

Because Apple likes to give you the finger.
-
Apple's keyboards of over 10 years ago were DK...they're all FJ now.
So much FUD going on in here. Ug.

I will enjoy them also on T and N when my round 3 doubleshots come :heh:
-
When I first started to use an AEK, I found the dots on D and K to be very weird. So swapped the keys. For some reasons, it was worse. I guess because my brain has not forgotten that the dots were on the D and K keys. I therefore had to put them back to where they initially were.
