How often do you change your rotation keyboards?
« on: Tue, 14 May 2019, 12:52:23 »
I am just curious - how often do you change your favorite boards for use? I usually choose my keyboard every day in the morning, along with my mood, but sometimes even twice a day.

Somewhere between 2 days and 2 months.
"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."

LOL daily is too hardcore, I think I rotate after a few months?  I bring keyboard to work too so it's too much hassle to rotate them out regularly.

But I applaud for your dedication lol.  :thumb:

I mean, I technically swap my keyboard daily, since I have a "gaming" keyboard. Otherwise I swap my keyboards every few days or so.

"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

Usually 2 or 3 times a week, roughly.

I don't.
I only really have 1 keyboard atm that I want to type on.
I've had to prioritize some other stuff over keyboards lately. Hopefully I'll get in on a GB soon for a new TKL.

I cycle between two boards at home, so I change it every week. I also keep one at work.

I am just curious - how often do you change your favorite boards for use? I usually choose my keyboard every day in the morning, along with my mood, but sometimes even twice a day.

I can't choose my keyboard, Hp Compaq Elite PC doesn't recognize it and allow for downloading of extra software.

So i have no choice but to type on a Logitech Classic Multimedia Keyboard 200  :-[
