based on your luck on CLACKVENT JD-Day, i'm not feeling optimistic... :))


edit: ON JD-DAY:

odds were 1/28, it took 27 attempts, so your odds were 1.3/1000

use that same scale, but with the odds of powerball... your odds would be 1/132,300,000,000.0023 of hitting the jackpot

My experience would be better if I had the arms of a twelve year old nerdy boy, and lots of custom keycaps.

I wish realforce would make a tkl to match the housing of the 23U, the more I look at it the more it is bothering me.

My keyboard experience would be better if there was no such thing as different standard layouts between US and UK English - having to hope an expensive ISO kit which often still doesn't have all the legends tips puts me off buying keycap sets.


My keyboard experience would be better if I converted to ANSI because of options :(


Such a simple solution. Just switch to US ANSI! :D

I REFUSE, I WILL NEVER BEEN LIKE YOU! But damn that would open up a lot of options, ****ing majority are the worst people :p

Oh. I would love a custom sleeved cable for my Model M. That would be awesome.
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

someone buy Unicomp already
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Someone buy BOTH and make a BS GMK set!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. 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

My keyboard experience would be better if I didn't have psoriatic arthritis.

My keyboard experience would be better if I had learned to touch type when I started using computers.
Unlearning old bad habits is hard. :(
In the end.. the keyboard's most grand form of existence is as an ethereal bridge between man and machine..    Each depression of the keys, evanescent.. Our transitory thoughts crashing into the web, carving canyons through the internet wasteland such that life may once again flourish..
