Never though in million years I'd spend 200 dollars on a computer keyboard

But here I am and I'm quite satisfied so far after having it 2 days now

Logitech optical linear keyboard

With the software I changed the colors of the key lights

Thank you taxpayers!

I've got a couple friends who sink insane money on many keyboards. One may as well have a collection. I'm like bruh damn thing doesn't even have a num-pad. I actually do use the num-pad, so ... lol. If I used a wireless keyboard from a couch in the living room I suppose I wouldn't care. Give me a metal keyboard with Cherry MX browns and I'm good, it doesn't have to cost over $100 lol. I use a Corsair K95 on my main rig.

Your keyboard shore is purdy, tho.

Ew no numpad? That's more expensive than a Model M.

no numpad = not a real keyboard

no arrow keys either, what the heck?

He paid extra to have fewer keys.

I spent over $500 on a video game controller and never thought I would have done that myself lol but here I am.

That's like 3 or 4 blowjobs from a crack whore.

A real keyboard has the function keys on the left, where God intended them to be.

Red Squirrel · Apr 19, 2024

I rarely use the numpad so I could do without that, but no arrow keys?! And no function keys either. I could see that being a pita in some applications.

This must have been made designed by an Apple employee. Think different by charging more for less!

I guess I shouldn't judge, I just spent 5k on a water heater... lol. Will see over the next few years if it was worth it.

No, a real keyboard had the function keys where they belong, and macro keys on the left to expand functionality.

Also, numpad and arrow keys, what in the shit.

Eh, each key can be programmed, including to do multiple different tasks like function keys and arrow keys. Still, I wouldn't enjoy using it at all.

I don’t miss the numpad at either work or home and didn’t even bust out my external standalone numpad for taxes this year. I’d miss the arrow keys and home/end though for working in VS code though that’s for sure.

Finding a keyboard with macro keys that doesn't look like a set from Cyberpunk is the quest.

sdifox · Apr 19, 2024

lol there is no escape key?

I joined the mechanical keyboard subreddit a while back and let me tell you some of those guys and gals go absolutely bonkers!

I have a Logitech G815 and really like it compared to an older K520 wireless keyboard. But it also has a full number pad, which I find useful when I work, and I only bought it on sale, not at MSRP.

As for thanking tax payers, why? If you bought it with your tax refund, that was your more than likely to be your own money you were getting back because you overpaid.

AFAIK op is on social assistance.

Reason I purposely got one that is 60% is the free real estate for my right hand and mouse. I had an issue of my mouse hitting the right side of my tenkeyless keyboard

As for no directional keys, that is only an issue for web surfing Not for the esport I play. But really, all I do is press FN key to get the arrows,

Cheap keyboards from 20-30 years ago likely give similar performance or better than the mid-to-high range today.

nakedfrog · Apr 19, 2024

Not a fan of linear switches. Or TKL designs, but my desk has plenty of room for a full-sized keyboard. My living room is a TKL because I don't generally need to type numbers much when I'm on that computer.

No, I don't think so. Squishy membranes.

BurnItDwn · Apr 19, 2024

I switched down to a 96% keyboard from a model M since I wanted more room for my mouse.
I miss my home and end keys, but I do like the "Kailh Box White" Switches inside.

I don't think I like them quite as much as buckling springs, but, its still quite acceptable and much quieter.

He didn't go back enough decades. 40-50 years ago is more correct.

those mechanical keyboard enthusiasts go gaga for like certain old school vinitage IBM keyboards from back in the day

I have four Model M in the basement. Made in 1986 or so. And I linked to the place to buy brand new Model M
