Jolt Country's Keyboard Thread

Post by Ice Cream Jonsey »

I will post pictures tomorrow.

I bought this keyboard over the weekend. YES it is pink and salmon. YES it is not a clicky keyboard. YES I like it and I type faster and this feels nice and it is my main keyboard right now.

I am in that weird spot working on my game where I need a change of scenery. I can't do that, so I got a new keyboard. I went with the "Silent Cherry Red" keys. I haven't touched a non-clicky keyboard in 15 years but I wanted to try something new. This is new! My fingers are gliding around the keyboard.

Tomorrow: pictures of it, and I will also go through the other keyboards I have around here and take pictures of them. The rest of them click. Hopefully this thread will for you.

The feel of the Frankenberry is my current favorite. Part of me wants to get a bigger keyboard with all the keys of the same type, but maybe next year.

It has made my life better. I do intend to post about all the others, so. Bump.

I bought a fancy Redragon keyboard last year and liked it so much that I immediately bought a second one and hooked it up to my work computer. This is not the first keyboard I've purchased that has back lighting, but it's the first one I've purchased that came with software where you can program what the lights do. I think there are like 40 presets and 35 of them are obnoxious but a few of them are pretty cool. On my main PC I have all the letters set to blue and all the others set to yellow. The one connected to my work computer looks like the Matrix with flashing, flowing, and glowing green lights. Live a little.

Here's my problem with the keyboard. More often than not when my hands fall onto the keys, they're falling in the wrong spot. By simply touch typing, I almost always end up typing gibberish until I visually get my fingers set. It's weird. The keyboard on my laptop is physically smaller than a regular keyboard, and my brain can make that adjustment. I can't tell what's different about this one. it's like it's millimeters smaller or something... enough that you can't determine it visually, but the fingers know.

I agree that changing a keyboard or even a desktop wallpaper can change the entire look and feel of a computer. It's a good way to get out of a rut.
