Sorry if this question has been asked - I did a search and didn't find anything on first glance!
And excuse my noobness!
Just starting out with mechanical keyboards.. have an x-armor u9bls at home on my imac and have an HHKB pro that I am just falling in love with. I work as an IT pharmacist in an office setting and plan on bringing my HHKB in daily to work through my daily tasks. Carrying in because I do not trust my hospital IT department and they just might take my board away one night thinking it belongs to them.
What do you do and do you carry in your board? OR do you have one special that sits there? or do you relegate your keyboard to home use only??
-
I'm a project manager who used to be a designer... I keep my "good" boards at home but actually found this site because I couldn't deal with standard-issue keyboard at work. Right now I'm typing this on a Compaq board w/ browns trying to decide if I like them with the o-ring mod, but I usually drive a Model M at home; at work I'm currently using a Cherry G80-8200 POS board w/ clears (which I would have never even considered had I not obsessively read this forum for a couple days before making a few purchases.) It's ugly enough that hopefully it won't get stolen :)
-
I am a game developer- love mechanical keyboards for programming.
-
When I used to actually work for a living (I'm a sales engineer now), I would bring my HHKB in to work with me. Bought the soft case specifically for that purpose. Now I work out of my home office...but do carry my HHKB along with me when I go onsite with a customer.

Considering that softcase. Is it a good buy? I was just going to stuff my HHKB into my briefcase.
-
I used to carry my Cherry portable. I hope to do the same with the Poker when it arrives.
But like iMav, now that I don't work for a living (pre-sales engineer!) I don't spend a lot of time at a desk that I consider mine, other than the home office. The home office keeps my Filco/brown. When I'm in a customer meeting, unless it's 2 hours or more, the laptop doesn't even come out of the bag and when it does, I'll be fortunate to have 2 sq feet to work in, and my scissors over RD thinkpad keyboard is loud enough.
I carry my office on my back and I don't like to carry more than is needed. Still though, I can't wait to see how to Poker travels! I'm considering some kind of board/base so I can set it on my laptop instead of in front of it.
-
Computer engineer. I've worked on the CPUs under some of your desks. There's a 1997 Kinesis and a 1987 Model M in my office.
@iMav: That's awesome, I'd buy something from a sales engineer who brings his own HHKB on site.
-
Software Developer - used to use my Realforce 87U but I brought it home once the value skyrocketed. Currently using a Keytronic.
-
Software developer/network admin for a steel detailing company. I got one of my doxKB laying on my desk at work. I'm not worried at all about it. People there just think that I'm weird building my own keyboards.
-
Systems Admin, I go into the office at most 5 times a month and I have my own cube with a Filco 87key w/ browns attached to the laptop docking station.
At home I have another Filco 87key w/ browns.
-
I'm a computer poorgrammar; I keep one of my Kinesiseses at work to type on, plus (for the moment) a 122-key Model F for guests.
jpc, Boxborough or Hudson?

I'm a Project manager/Part owner for a small IT company. I found this site while looking for information on mechanical keyboards, after getting tired of using "included with your PC" keyboards. Funny thing is my dad used to bring IBM computers at home from work, and one of the first keyboard I ever used was an IBM mechanical one.
I mostly keep my good (Topre) keyboards at home, and use some less expensive ones (doesn't mean they're not good!) at the office (Tt Meka G1).
-
I'm in the data business, and I get friendly mocking by subordinates and superiors alike for being particular about peripherals.
-
I'm a CS PhD student, currently ABD. I have a 122 key Model M on my workstation in my office, and another on my home computer. When I'm not in one of those two places, I carry a Motion Computing tablet, with a HHKB hooked up to it.
I don't worry about my keyboard for 3 reasons: it's old enough that I get jokes about using a keyboard older than most of my students, there are 3 other Model Ms and a Filco in that office, and the door has access logs, so if it did get stolen, we'd know who in fairly short order. It's also the heaviest of the keyboards in the office, so the last to be grabbed, most likely.

Full time student and a full time janitor for the college I go to. I also work in the bio lab where I do use my keyboard but that's an independent study I do for free.
-
I carry multiple boards back and forth to work very often. I have so many keyboards that I store some of them at work. But I have my own office that I can lock things up. Right now I just either carry them in their own box by hand, or if it is one without box, I put it in my backpack. It helps that I drive to work everyday, from garage to garage.

It's a bit like that DealExtreme keyboard, except the tactility is more pronounced.
-
I'm a software engineer. My Kinesis stays at work because it belongs to my employer. At home I have a shamefully cheap Logitech. Despite my exotic work board, I know very little about all this but am looking forward to purchasing something nice for home use and modding it.

When I do score a new job I was planning on using the brand new G80-1800HAU I scored the other day modded with ergo clears. Its small like a tenkeyless but still retains the tenkey. And ergoclears pcb mounted are quiet but feel great.

I'm an estimator for a contractor and. I use a Topre or a Filco brown. Both tenkeyless. I used to use a Model M, but when I was on phone conferences, people were *****ing about me banging away on my keyboard.

I have to sit in a lot of phone conferences...hope my HHKB wont be too distracting.

I'm a Technical Account Manager working in a Customer Support, and manage PACS solutions for 3 chains of hospitals in Boston, Iowa, and Ottawa. I'm basically on the phone and typing emails all day.
Couriosly I'm (a freelance selfemployed) sysadmin in a similar environment, although hiss is just part of my work.
I' don't mind to carry around the world a mech keyboard,
Because
typing is is not my main activity, then because
I don't want an hevvy and unneeded piece
My notebook is a Thinkpad and is equipped with one of the best keyboard available.
I use the UK layout, and not the usual IT or the less used US ones.
-
How much was it?
about 150$ with shipping included ~500 ron
-
I'm a webdeveloper/flashdeveloper and use my own keyboards at work. Don't really carry them to and from work but more or less circulate the ones I have between work and home. Currently use my Model M at work and Laser mech at home :)
-
I'm a computer programmer. I keep a portion of my collection at work - currently a kinesis advantage, filco tenkeyless, mx11800, choc mini, data 911 and others. I like to swap keyboards about once a day. I work in an small open plan office so I have to be sensitive about noise, but security isn't an issue.
-
I am a porn star and yes. I don't actually use it for anything but I carry it around to look "smart". :cheer2:
-
I am a researcher and I leave my Filco brown at my office. At home I use old Compaq MX 11800.
-
i also work in an open plan office...so I have to be sensitive about noise. The rubber dome dell I have right now is a little bit quieter than my HHKB. I hope people do not mind. I am an IT pharmacist though and the only one in the department so I think they should understand.

I have to ask: What is an "IT pharmacist"? Sounds to me like the guy who makes the Bawls run!
-
I'm an engineering intern by day, graduate student by night. There is a significant amount typing involved in both endeavors. I use a Filco at home, a Topre at work, and a Dell Quietkey at the school lab. I used to use the Filco at work, but I got comments about the noise.

I always wanted to be a heart surgeon. But then I won't be able to take my keyboard to work.

Harrison: PACS "admin" here. I use the " because its defacto for now, soon to be legit ;) What software do you support? Likely not what we use since I always call NJ or Israel when things get hairy, but cool to know we're in similar fields.
Yes, I often take stuff with me, and most of it was taken from there in the first place (WITH permission :D)
-

To break it down an IT pharmacist is the expert of the various systems in a hospital pharmacy. I have a doctorate in Pharmacy but I am specialized -- get trained and train other pharmacists, nurses and doctors in med verification, physician order entry, robotics - all that jazz. All that fun stuff.
An IT Pharmacist is the only one allowed to prescribe PEBKAC.

PING!
No idea what that means...but a quick google tells me perhaps some of my students will suffer from PEBKAC.
-
I used to do IT (mostly sharepoint architecture) for an SMB. I had my ducky 1087 in my cubicle. A coworker at that job actually turned me on to geekhack after I asked him about his unicomp customizer. I had to weigh whether to bring my keyboard to and from work after a pair of headphones that I kept at my desk went missing, but I decided that if anyone knew how much my keyboard was worth, it wouldn't be too hard to figure out who had taken it.
Now I work from home as web test engineer for a very large company. I have no one (but my friends) to show off my keyboards to. There was something about the "pimp my cube" mentality that I miss from working in an office. I don't miss the commute though.
-
My notebook is a Thinkpad and is equipped with one of the best keyboard available.
Can you explain me how I could mod a Thinkpad so that I can use it's keyboard and it's keyboard only, not the full notebook, as a desktop keyboard. Sounds like I'd have a real winner.
-

That's easy I just connect the notebook via RDP and use it, when I've to do long activities.
But more often than not my work implies few minutes of activity on a large number of machines, so the thinkpad keyboard or an external one would be pointless.
Anyway if you want to use just the thinkpad's keyboard, it is already available, ready to go.

-
I'm a researcher and keep my Topre at work, as it's a bit quieter than my Cherry MX boards. Back in grad school I'd keep my Filco in the lab, but unlike theferenc we had no access logs and I was constantly worried about it disappearing.
-
Computer programmer. I have my office at work so I can and do leave a keyboard or three at work to swap out.
-
Working from home is gangsta. I need to find a job where I can do that.
-
It's overrated. Way too many distractions, so you have to be really well disciplined. And I at least find the lack of ability to turn to my neighbor and discuss something I'm stuck to be a big issue.

One of the things that I like to ask someone that I'm interviewing is if they have anyone at their previous jobs that they really look up to and learned from. Learning from and leaning on one another is what makes a healthy collaborative environment so powerful. If someone tells me that they never worked with someone that they can look up to I'm immediately suspicious and try to dig deeper.
I've done plenty of side projects and motivation and discipline are definitely the hardest things to maintain when you're working alone.
On topic -
At my office we're very trustful of each other. I'll often just leave cash sitting on my desk for days and not think twice about it. I have my Blue and Red Filcos sitting on my desk at work and have no worries of anyone touching them. If anything someone would take my boss' HHKB Pro 2. :)

I haven't worked from home much but every time I did I got more done at home than I usually did at the office.
-
Yeah, it's fine occasionally, if you just need to get stuff done. But when it's every day...it gets hard to maintain the proper focus. And as I said, collaboration is important, at least in my field.
-
All of my peers are in different states around the country. We collaborate the same way whether I'm in my cube or not. I am more likely to wander the building at the office since there is no way to relax my eyes there without a serious walk. I am also much more likely to have my time wasted by some other employee that wants to blow time swinging by my cube to tell me a mind numbing story.

I find Starbucks to be the most productive place for me to work. Too many distractions at home, too many distractions at work. If I don't have to be on a phone call, starbucks (or chick-fil-a, or Paradise Bakery, etc...) FTW!
-
Where's the Paradise Bakery, ashort? That sounds really good.

I, too, like to move to the coffee shop down the street when I really need to focus on something. The background noise is nice. I have the privilege of being plugged into a group of remote workers, so we are constantly pinging each other for help with things, but that can become distracting in it own way. I feel like I get more done at home, but I have to pace myself differently. Its not an 8 hour sprint like it is at the office. I take more breaks, but find myself trading normal work hours to get other things done and then doing the rest of my work in the evening. That seems to be pretty common among other remote works that I know.
-

We had one in Greenwood but it closed. Now there is one downtown Indy and there are some on the northside. McAllister's is a great place to have a LONG lone lunch and get some work done too.
-
Yeah, McAllister's is a favorite lunch place of mine. And I'll have to check out that bakery. Thanks!

Damn, I just spent two consecutive weekends in Greenwood. Small world. ;)
-
I'm inbetween school and work at the moment. (Interview later this week for a Trainee IT support consultant job). But I was home schooled for a long time and I find that I am able to work fine by myself. My main problem is in the past when I've been working on something like a website or a project I'm really stuck into I tend to over work. So instead of just doing something like a regular 8-10 hour day I'll keep at it and finish a 5 day project in 3 days because I've given up sleep to do so. If I was working in a normal office environment I'd find it easier to drop work at the end of the day and even if I'm thinking of solutions to problems, the temptation to try it out isn't as great because I'm away from the work completely.
-
People there just think that I'm weird building my own keyboards.
Ha! I got people at work thinking I'm weird without building my own keyboard :)
Systems admin/infrastructure architect/security flunky. And yes I've dragged a keyboard into work - some weird thing with Cherry blacks that I've forgotten the name of, and a Unicomp customiser in case I feel like a change.
-
Currently in training as a consultant for integrated systems.
I bring my Noppoo Choc Mini with MX Brown to work, as writing on Rubberdomes hurts my hands after ~4 hours.
-
Do you guys bring tricked out custom keycaps boards to work or just the plain vanilla ones?
-
Damn, I just spent two consecutive weekends in Greenwood. Small world. ;)
Ok, why would you come to my little patch of the world in Greenwood? =-D
Next time pipe up and I'll buy lunch or something!
-
I work in QA [Software]. This (http://store.oth.com.my/104-348-thickbox/dell-usb-quietkey-keyboard.jpg) is the standard issue keyboard, so 'yes', I absolutely use my own keyboard at work.
-

My linear R has white pbt keys and my blue has the click clack blue skull for escape. My boards at work have a little character. :)
-
3 days/week I work at a pharmacy doing a lot of order processing and data entry. I bring my U9BLS to that job each day because the alternative is a very old rubber dome dell board that sits at my workstation, and is borderline unusable (for picky keyboard snobs like ourselves). At my other job, I work at a CPA firm but they keyboard here is actually one of the best rubber domes I've ever typed on so I just use it instead of having to lug mine back and forth.
-
My work boards. :)
Edit: ew uploading through tapatalk destroys the image. Will fix when I have a computer that works. (hard drive dying in my work comp, having a new one built)

-
Software Engineer. Absolutely I use the good keyboards at work. For the past three years a Das 3 (blue switches), but just bought a Realforce 87U that I'm taking in to work today.
At home I don't use the desktop very much. Usually instead typing on an old HP 8710w laptop while laying in a recliner chair. I may bring home the Das for the home desktop, but the wife uses that computer more than me so the choice of keyboard is up to her. I'm curious to see what she thinks of the Das.
-
Ya know, I'll probably still bring one of my boards in for recording at the studio.. either gonna be the das keyboard or the linear R (probably the linear r, since it's quieter). Gotta have the 10 key for Pro Tools
-
Air Freight Logistics and I keep my Full size filco w/ blues at work with one of the sets of R3 double shots on it, not sure if the person next to me is so fond of it but whatever.

Lowly helpdesk guy with access to lots of keyboards and hardware. I rotate all my keyboards to work daily/weekly. Today is 87U with new orange keycaps.

I work in a legal clinic filing Bankruptcies at the moment. One more year of law school left. I might start bringing my poker into work once I get it because the rubberdome at work drives me nuts when I type up documents.

You don't take a Noppoo Chocolate to work? Although I hear Chocolate is a laxative so I've always found that name a oxymoron.

I write code. I keep my best keyboard in the office because that's where I do most of my typing.
Nobody ever even notices it, so I'm not really afraid for it being stolen or anything. Only when I'll be away for a week or more, I take it home so nobody can spill drinks on it.

I develop software under Unix. I am using a Kinesis Advantage at home and at work... the health of my hands comes first, after all they earn the family income. Both keyboards recently upgraded to the LF model with the red cherry switches, they are amazing! I do not worry about the keyboard being stolen, some people leave much more expensive laptops in their cubicles.

Hi gang,
I'm new around here. Working as a security consultant, on laptops only - except for short periods of time on the family's iMac. At the console for extended periods of time. I don't always have much choices regarding my work environment, especially on customers' sites. Currently I use 4 laptops, Lenovo T410 (corporate), Dell Latitude E6410 (customers'), Dell Latitude D630 and Eee PC 1001PX (private).
They all have different keyboards (especially, Fn is sometimes left of Ctrl !), I'm in love with none, and I'm looking for a high-quality alternative. Portability is very important.
In the past, I've used IBM Model M a lot - but then all the keyboard around became silent - except mine, and then the colleagues started to complain, and I was forced to get rid of this board. Years after, I tried the Happy Hacking Lite. Loved the size. Worked well, but then it was not the nice feel I was expecting, and I got rid of it as well.
I'm currently experimenting postural problems, linked to heavy laptop usage. I want to use an external keyboard to be able to place the laptop a bit higher on the desk, maybe on my bag or on a big book. Also, after 2 hours on a laptop's keyboard I'm starting to have numb hands/fingers, and this is very annoying if not painful.
So I'm in a market for a highly portable keyboard, swiss-french or just blank. I should be able to use a blank keyboard, as I had a swedish keyboard for the last 3 months (the corporate laptop came with this) and I didn't care much. Probably I'll end up buying a Happy Hacking Pro 2. But as I need to do something now, I'll try to get something that is available immediately for not much money, either a Cherry G84-4100, or maybe an Apple Aluminium Mini. This will help me find out what part of the problem I can actually solve with an external keyboard. Then, if this is effective and I'm bound to carrying a keyboard with me all the time, I'll go to something top-notch.
Cheers,
JYC

Poker is tiny like HHKB... next up from that is Noppoo Choc Mini, doesn't work with OSX due to their NKRO implementation. Up a size step from there you have Filco Mini, I hear Fukka's (the switch) are noisy as hell and there are others in this size range that I don't know off the top of my head. Up from that is any 87 key (aka tenkeyless).

Someone should test it with Lion to see if the bug is fixed.

I am an IT Technician; at work I use a Dell AT102W I found when clearing out a server room. Before finding this board, I knew absolutely nothing about mechanical boards and finding this barely used AT102W sparked my interest in them. I consequently found this site when trying to find information about the aforementioned board. It felt awesome compared to your standard rubber dome jobbies. Since then, I've found another one which I use when I'm based at a different office, and I bought myself a Cherry G80 for home use, which I absolutely love, apart from how easily the decals get stained!
-
@junkyardcat -
If you don't mind getting a little pricy and are into the unique key layout the HHKB really sounds like a great option for you. Otherwise yeah, something like a Poker would be good for you.
-
I'm a mechanic, that's probably why I like mechanical keyboards :P
Most of my hobby involve computers tho (A/V-Processing, Photography...)
-
@Chobopants : probably this will be between HHKB Pro 2 and KBC Poker, in the end. In the meantime I've ordered a Cherry G84-5500 because that's what can be delivered to my door tomorrow. Classic POS keyboard, Cherry ML switches. A bit big for my application, but at 393 x 196 x 33 mm it will still fit in my bag.

Help Desk, use mine daily and leave it here. Dont really worry about it, most think its some old crappy keyboard(reason I got some fo free son).
Funny you mention it, did just find one of those KeyTronic rubber domes, thought it was a Model M at first. :(

Investment banking analyst. I leave my Realforce 103 U-UW (white, with red Escape) and MS WMO 1.1a on my desk. I need the numpad for Excel work and Topres are really one of the only switches that are still fairly quiet when you bottom out.

Technical writer. I have Cherry blues at work, a Scorpius M10, and leave the board overnight. Its distinctive, with light and dark blue key caps.
Many of my co workers have brought in less distinctive keyboards, such as Logitech chicklets, to replace the Dell trash standard issue.
I plan to bring my Poker with Cherry browns when it arrives.

I'm a Human Resources Manager and have my full sized Filco with linear reds - black casing and white PBT keycaps at work, my tenkeyless version hooked up to my laptop and next to my recliner at home. And then in my home office I have the tenkyless RealForce. I don't worry about my keyboard at work as I have an office that is locked whenever I leave it due to confidentiality and besides that no one at my work would even know there's anything special about my Filco.
-
I work for the DEA and am staked out next to Ripster's house watching him post on GH in his kimono.
My work keyboards are left at work, I don't tote them with me which is good because I'm known to use Northgates. They rotate, currently it's a Filco with cherry browns.

Did you ever find some nice old keyboards with 'white powder' on it?
