My small home keyboard collection
« on: Wed, 27 February 2013, 14:14:21 »
Potato



Keycool 87 - originally had reds on it, but I modded the switches to clears. Has imsto thick pbt caps, grey and blue, qwerkeys f row, LEDs on this board have been changed to purple.

KBT Oni - This has brown switche, imsto blue and grey thick caps, an orange spacebar on backwards, blue brobot and purple LED.

Cherry G80-3700 - this is brand new, have doubleshot keycaps - but have taken them off as they are brand new and put imsto caps on there. There is also a red cherry ds esc key, going to swap the green LED in this to a purple one.

Those are the boards currently on my desk :)

Sometimes lighting can really help out the Potato with taking a picture. Make it during the day and near a window, and you will find people will admire your keyboards a lot more :)

Nice keyboards by the way.

The color scheme reminds me of Speedracer. 

Oh man... speedracer keycap would be amazing :D

Yeah, the color scheme is very nice... :D

But you need a numpad?

Those of us who work with numbers use the numpad constantly.

I would enjoy a small keyboard, in theory, but have to have a numpad.

Home cluster and arrow keys are essential, too, you use all of them, one after the other, doing spreadsheet work.

The nuisance of having to turn numpad off and on is impossibly cumbersome.
"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated.

Agreed. And it's nice to have when you're doing CAD work as well.

Re: Your pics.

Follow Grim Fandango's advice:  you just need better lighting.

Re:  Keyboards.

Great! I love them.  Great colors.

Here's one of mine:



Here's another, I hope you like rainbows:
