idk man




hey so what the gently caress, why can't keyboards be decent usb hubs. i had a das keyboard that could but ONLY because the cable had two usb connectors to the compy, one for keyb and one for USB...

guess I shoulda just plugged the keyboard into its own hub and then would have still had an extra usb available


is it just coz USB is really just that poo poo, that doing the job it was designed to do in the first place, which is have multiple things on any port (up to 128 amiright?) it just cant do with all the demands a keyboard polaces on it

its because autistic children think that if the keyboard is off an internal hub it will cause input latency in their video james

so since i got a das keybaord at home ive become acutely aware that my keyboard at work is 1) disgusting and 2) so loving old there are marks gouged into the spacebar from the corner of my thumbnail (I think???) and all the key caps are worn smooth and horrid to type on. plus its a crap HP piece of poo poo in the first place.

but if i get a noisy mechanical keyboard my colleagues will kill me, im thinking some MX reds or something? when I tried them out I didn't think they were that much quieter than the browns in my one at home though

edit: all the ones i can find on amazon or whatever are idiot backlit gamer bullshit

just get a cheap gamer one. if you don't like the backlights you can turn them off but they're pretty nice.

its a good keyboard because it has all the keys instead of one of those garbage 10keyless or worse layouts. Are those e-elements caps cause I have those too and they're gr8.

I think windows makes it impossible to have a good trackpad

scrolling is based on "lines" in the majority of apps, and the idea of horizontal scrolling is just not there at all

there's some speed threshold for what counts as a line so if you scroll slower than that it just never scrolls

dell ships trackpads that are literally half the size of good ones

and while we're on it

windows has dog poo poo support for keyboards too, you can't switch ctrl and caps-lock on a per-keyboard basis (just os-wide) and you either have to trust some registry hack or a third-party program

why would I ever want to switch control and capslock.

Yeah obviously caps lock is most properly bound to backspace, while enter becomes control and right-shift becomes enter.

you could check the Logitech site to see what it does. Logitech profile switches are usually on the bottom if the mouse supports them.

i have a g710+ at home and I like it well enough. They make one (maybe the g810) that's browns, but without the orange plastic and gamer keys. That ones pretty good too.

their newer ones are their own custom switches which are not good or knock off mx blues that are not as good.

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
they make little rubber damper things you can stick on each key that reduce the noise made by bottoming out. when Logitech was still doing mx switches they were installing them by default which was super nice. u can buy them off amazon or wherever tho.

like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U7DJ0TW/

Browns are quiet. if you bottom out when you type you can buy dampener o-rings to make that quiet too. some keyboards will come them pre-installed

Apr 26, 2006

Midjack posted:

it doesn't ban the layouts, just the good hardware, so if you're a mega pervert and have a lovely keyboard where you can swap the caps you can have whatever hosed up layout you want.

i dont think swapping key caps gets you a 65% board. that poo poo is trash and anything that prevents it from working is good even if its unrelated to the actual physical layout.

full size keyb or get out

i just got a keychron 6 pro w/ the banana switches and they feel real nice. I replaced the caps cause they ones it comes with have an insane profile.
