Thoughs on #mechanical #keyboards

I switched to the Sharkoon #Skiller #SKG3 yesterday, because my #Logitech #G710 is in a serious need of cleanup. I've used keyboards with Kailh Blue switches, esp. by Sharkoon, in the past. But the touch and feel is rather, at least with this keyboard, quite annoying.

When typing, there is a very hollow sounding noise and some keys are "sticky" or in need of realignment. Although this is a brand new keyboard.

Well I'm sorry if I'm weird and prefer a laptop-style chiclet #keyboard over a #mechanical one.

#membrane vs #mechanical switches? Is typematrix.com worth the switch?
*pun intended :)

Me: I should probably replace the belt in the snowblower so it's ready for this winter.

My Smartwatch: ALERT. Your stress seems elevated. Maybe you should take a break.

#mechanical #engineer != #mechanic

The design of the buttons and color scheme is akin to modern hobbyist #mechanical #keyboards.

One of my favorite Instagram accounts is that of Japanese artist Shinrashinge. (I really wish he was here, but alas, no.)

He makes the most fascinating paper-based anime creations. Mediums include frames, cups, plates, and more. They’re so delightful.

New #keyboard at work!
#Mechanical switches!
Too bad I wasn't allowed the clicky switches :blobcatthonking:

My friend Alex is currently in #paris and is sleeping in and around train stations at the moment prior to having a place to stay in #Amsterdam in about a week. He's a super awesome #anarchist #compost and #mechanical person who does media production with the #homeless population in #denver and is a car and truck mechanic with a compost company for a day job here. I'm hoping this use of hashtags might find a #anarchist #squat somewhere in the vicinity of Paris or Amsterdam where he might crash for a couple days. Any ideas? Any squats need a good mechanic for a few days? He also brings memes of trash magic weirdness!

Short video: I got this mystery package from China. Can you guess what these buttons are for? 🤔

Next up, we got design stuff in the tech field! Now, I don't tend to use my mechanical keyboards much, because I mostly just use my laptops. However, I might get these for fun because they look so nice. 💜
