I was dreaming about a certain yellow BroBot ...

Funny thing is it was exactly like the one I received in the mail :)

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

(true story:) I had a dream last night I received a Julysicle Spacebar that was for alps (so weird) and a Julysicle Right Shift...they both looked like the FN Julysicles......They were free and a surprise but I remember having to keep it a secret   :)) :))

Waking up was so depressing...

I had a dream once that my cousin vandalized a couple of tri-color CC skulls (OG, Jack-O-Lantern) by painting them with flat black paint.  Needless to say, it was a rather disturbing dream...

I have had dreams about keyboards, but then usually when I wake up and find out that I did not receive 2000$ for buying custom keyboards and modding parts....I usually get really cranky all morning from this.

I had a dream a while ago, before I got my shine. I dreamed that I owned a storage crate with all kinds of boards, a few on display, and a dew in boxes... As I opened the door I woke up...  :(

No dreams about keyboards yet. But I do have extremely vivid sex-dreams. Needless to say, I wake up pretty darn happy sometimes.

I had a super weird dream where I was in a dark room and heard the sound of MX Blues... It felt like it lasted for 5 seconds but I woke up in the morning... :(

The sound of Blues wasn't comforting?  :))

I've been dreaming about getting my hands on Penumbra the last couple of days.
I dunno why, I usually handle waiting a little better than this.

I had a dream that I was typing on some white rubber domes, just the domes, nothing else, and that they felt really really good. And then I touched something similar that felt like ****. And something told me that the first thing was 55g topre and the second was 45g topre.

Last night I have a dream that I was using a silver keyboard.

I was talking to someone else at the time, and surreptitiously keep trying to see what keyboard it was.

Eventually I worked out it was a VT220 keyboard that has been spray painted silver.

I was a bit disappointed that it was not an exotic mechanical keyboard.

Then I noticed the VT220 on the desk in front of me (in the dream).  It was very yellowed - I wondered briefly why no0-one had bothered to spray paint that too.

It depends on the projects I have on the go at any given time.

The last couple weeks I have been dreaming about algorithms and what features make sense for an automated plate (and now case) building tool.  How do I lay out the mount holes in a layout which I am discovering on the fly?  How should I make the location of the USB opening in the case configurable, but not interfere with any mount holes?  How do I support existing case mount holes while allowing for the layout to be completely dynamic?

So not really dreams about a specific keyboard or anything like that, but definitely keyboard related dreams.

Your dreams sound way more practical than mine!

My dreams reflect my inability relax and turn off my brain. Haha. If I get something in my head I have to just go with it cause it isn't going away.

I had another keyboard dream last night.

It was an ultra rare BS keyboard with some light blue keycaps (arrows, Enter) and everyone here was like "I want that".

The seller was only a couple of blocks from me, so I went and picked it up, brought it back, plugged it in, and start using it.

Then I was typing posts on here replying to the discussions about the keyboard actually using the keyboard!

The weird thing about it was that the function keys were below the space bar, and the arrow keys were lower down too.
