Anyone use artisans for function?
« on: Wed, 03 August 2016, 04:25:30 »
I don't know if I'm kidding myself but I recently put normal keycaps back on my keyboard and when pressing F8 (which I do a lot for work) it just feels wrong not having a bbv2 there.

Yeah I like that I can tell where I can due to the different feelings. Hungerkey on Esc, orks on 1-0, mummies on - and + and vandals on [ and ]. It makes a lot faster to find my way.

back in the day when i had a cheap iKBC board at work, i had trans cap on the F12 key, as there was an LED on that specific switch which indicated if i had ctrl/caps switched around or not

Function keys is the first place I put artisans.

"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

I would think escape, THEN functions...?

I don't have any artisans, so I don't.

Funnily enough, as long as I didn't have artisans I had a problem remembering where all the special characters on my keyboard were because I heavily relied on the labels. Now I get there by feel alone.
