Diatec now pushing out Filco CAMO keyboards !!

[nikonf5]

Funnily enough, I saw this while I was showing the gf what the metallic blue looks like as she will be picking it up later this month from her cousin in Miami and bringing it back to Canada saving me taxes on this end.

First thing I thought of was what color to change the keys to match.
If the blurb is to be believed, every pattern is different and you can see it in the closeup pictures of the logo on all three links.
To cater more to gamers who are the target market, they also have media keys to control volume, etc.

Awesome and they are available in TKL as well!

Sorry, cant seem to post links but if you go to the Diatec main page, you can see it under the product listing section.

For hiding your keyboard in the jungle.

You mean this:



LMAO

Can see me playing Battlefield 3 in this...just for the lulz.

I like the tilt stand with rubbers.   Safety first, especially in the jungle!

As do all Filco boards! It's a great feature that I can't believe some manufactures neglect.

[strerror]

it also seems to have a number of additional features of the stock standard or is it simply the case that the new marketing was a bit more thorough? eg:

Though ergo guy at my work said keyboard stands shouldn't be used at all.  They encourage bad wrist positions.

I somewhat believe that.  I used to use them all the time; then I really made the effort to start touch typing correctly, with good form etc...  Once I did that, I found that I then preferred my keyboard without a stand.  I still use a wrist rest, but don't actually rest my wrist on it most of the time...  usually I use it when I am NOT typing so that I don't scratch up the bracelet of my watch  When typing, I find myself holding my hands in a position that is very similar to that if I were playing a piano.

I think it would look great with dolch keycaps.

Pushing out?  I'd throw it out. Camo is pretty meh.

your basic 104/87 keyboard is already bad ergonomic wise, so i guess there really is no difference by putting in "regular" footstands that imo are bad

The only water transfer method I know of is used with decals.  You have a special paper with coatings on it and you print your design onto the coated paper.  Stick that in water and the layer immediately next to the paper dissolves and releases the upper layers and your design.  Slide this onto a wet object, press it on and dry it out... the remaining bottom most layer is some sort of glue.
