Play guitar for two hours until your finger tips are nice and raw. Then try out your different keyboards. I've found that after playing buckling springs feel stiff and jarring, while MX browns feel like a soft finger massage.

If you play a guitar enough and often, your fingers should never be sore. That does take alot of effort however.

I haven't played in a month because of the move, and my fingers never really developed a callous either, they just got a little tougher, even when I was playing 3 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Ewwwwww!

Good thing I play the piano. My fingertips are very sensitive, couldn't ruin my fingers with ugly flesh malignancies on the tips.

I found if I use rubber domes for a long time (weeks), my model M feels so much better to use.

Also, after playing the piano for hours, computer keyboard keys can feel really light.

After playing the guitar I like to get on geekhack and post about it.

Mine's a custom blue Jazzmaster.  I'll have to post pics.  I have I think 6 guitars, but the Takamine acoustic my wife got me and the Jazzmaster are really all I play unless I'm just feeling like a change.

Maybe we need a "post your instrument" thread in the Pictures forum. Just hope that nobody misinterprets the word 'instrument'...

Na, just call it "post your guitar". Nobody wants to see saxophones or pianos.

Or a nice harpsichord:


Who was the goofball that swaped around the colours of the keys on pianos?
