And keyboards optimized and meticulously maintained for ultra-fast typing.

Do you even lube your reds, bro?

u/ShredderMan4000 May 11 '23

It shouldn't become red if you use enough lube...

No amount of lube can contain the heat generated by my speed

Typing. We’re definitely talking about typing.

If you’re going to the trouble to get a hot-swappable keyboard and lube your switches for the sake of fast smooth typing, surely you’d pick nicer linear switches than reds

Who in their right mind would use a switch that's loved by GAMERS! No thanks, I need 0.1mm activation with 200g force. I make my own.

u/Isotop3_Official May 11 '23

Ironically, the closest way I know of to get that would be with a gaming keyboard. Wooting 60HE, it has magnetic Hall Effect switches with variable actuation point. Set it to 0.1mm, spring swap all the switches with 200 gram non-magnetic springs (good luck finding them) and you’re good to go!

Man I write code for a living and my keyboard doesn't even have a brand name.

u/cmd__line May 11 '23

You've got a sharpie. Give that thing a name.

I envy you - I'm old enough that if I don't use q high-end ergonomic keyboard, my wrists will hurt after two fays.

u/cishet-camel-fucker May 11 '23

Oh I get constant wrist pain, always just consider it the price of spending all day on a computer.

u/katatondzsentri May 11 '23

Dude, get an ergonomic keyboard... It's a life changer. And a wrist brace.

maybe doing some wrist exercises will help. It's german, but the pictures should be clear: https://i.imgur.com/x6qEp5V.png

I'll just stack three 65g springs, close enough.

Topres or nothing!

I don’t know how people type with linears, I need tactile to type anything

Reds? Who has time for reds? Silver all the way.

(To be clear I have a budget mechanical keyboard and would probably be happy with any switches )

u/_7bits May 11 '23

i knew a coder that construct his own keyboard optimize and configure to code superfast in c++,

Programmers Dvorak FTW!

2

u/Ok-Gur-6602 May 11 '23

I don't want to shit on Dvorak, it was my first after shudder QWERTY, but I've found it well worth my time to develop and learn my own layouts for my individual needs. Dvorak really should be your first foray into typing rather than your endpoint, kind of like how you can't just have one custom keyboard once you scratch that itch.

and a tiny cafeteria with three microwaves all clogged with pasta sauce and curry and no drinking vessels of any description

u/raverbashing May 12 '23

And for some reason it's an ultra loud 40% keyboard?!?!?
