My small home keyboard collection
« on: Wed, 27 February 2013, 14:14:21 »
Potato



Keycool 87 - originally had reds on it, but I modded the switches to clears. Has imsto thick pbt caps, grey and blue, qwerkeys f row, LEDs on this board have been changed to purple.

KBT Oni - This has brown switche, imsto blue and grey thick caps, an orange spacebar on backwards, blue brobot and purple LED.

Cherry G80-3700 - this is brand new, have doubleshot keycaps - but have taken them off as they are brand new and put imsto caps on there. There is also a red cherry ds esc key, going to swap the green LED in this to a purple one.

Those are the boards currently on my desk :)

Sometimes lighting can really help out the Potato with taking a picture. Make it during the day and near a window, and you will find people will admire your keyboards a lot more :)

Nice keyboards by the way.

The color scheme reminds me of Speedracer. 

Oh man... speedracer keycap would be amazing :D

Yeah, the color scheme is very nice... :D

But you need a numpad?

Those of us who work with numbers use the numpad constantly.

I would enjoy a small keyboard, in theory, but have to have a numpad.

Home cluster and arrow keys are essential, too, you use all of them, one after the other, doing spreadsheet work.

The nuisance of having to turn numpad off and on is impossibly cumbersome.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Agreed. And it's nice to have when you're doing CAD work as well.

Re: Your pics.

Follow Grim Fandango's advice:  you just need better lighting.

Re:  Keyboards.

Great! I love them.  Great colors.

Here's one of mine:



Here's another, I hope you like rainbows:
