HHKB causing extended screen time
« on: Mon, 22 December 2014, 04:39:58 »
I've been trying to cut down on work hours and screen time but typing on my new HHKB is such a pleasure I've noticed I'm actually finding excuses to type (10fastfingers, typeracer).

I'm wondering if I should abandon this fantastic keyboard and find some keyboard that makes my fingers suffer, not want to type, and log off as soon as possible after my work is done.

I'll be more than happy to trade my Dell rubberdome for that HHKB :P

I have one spare HP rubberdome board. Good choice, if you want suffering :)

I don't mind super gluing some needles onto the crummy $3.99 Inland keyboards work provides for us then arranging a trade. Psh, I'll even cover shipping for you.  :thumb:

So, like I said, if you want to suffer - suffer you will :)

No, just continue to enjoy the oneness with cup rubber :)

"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

You should go to page 76 of "What keyboard are you using now?" thread and see my post there.

I have this problem with my new Leopold FC660C :)
My favourite keyboard so far (haven't tried a HHKB but I use the arrow keys all the time).

Of course!  I had to get the jankiest adapters and make it look so wrong.... I was laughing so hard too when I set it up for the picture. The BTC was an old AT keyboard I remember having in the back room somewhere and I dug it out.  I guess having a sense of humor helps too.
