I recently found out about mechanical switches being used in arcade controllers and I got some buttons that take MX cherry switches and I am really liking the Kailh Navy Speed switches.
I recently found out about mechanical switches being used in arcade controllers and I got some buttons that take MX cherry switches and I am really liking the Kailh Navy Speed switches.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.
Second this. Finding a keyboard with this was critical for me, and so annoying when these seemingly basic things are left off. I have the wired cousin to the one you have. I agree wireless can look cleaner, but I wanted to move away from batteries for something that is not really moving, and my desk already has some "clutter" on it in the form of a USB C dock and a work laptop hiding behind my monitors.Anyway, a key thing I love about the Logi ones are the separate volume control but along with separate play, rev, fwr and mute buttons.

Exactly, it's like who designs these things? Quite a few high end keyboards had media controls but they were dual function, not dedicated.
This keyboard's battery lasts a long time. To keep it less cluttered, I just keep a 20,000mAh battery pack in the drawer nearby with a usb cable attached, and just charge the keyboard once or twice a month then put it away. But also, fuck logitech for still having micro-usb, I have literally moved everything over to USB-C except for one headlamp and an older bike light that is just backup.
Looks like a nice compact keyboard. Not really my style but I'm glad you like it because after all you are the one using it.But here I am and I'm quite satisfied so far after having it 2 days now
Logitech optical linear keyboard
Thank you taxpayers!
Fuck, should have bought four. I love this kb.No longer made.
It's not a pinball machine...I notice it's necessary to tilt the keyboard a bit while gaming for maximum ergonomics. I can't leave it in standard position when playing fps games
You can still buy brand new ones, with usb cable.Damn! I loved my old Model M IBM keyboard. It was a very sad day when the space bar stopped working and the IT department took it away.
FWIW I have been using a Logitech G710 for many years now and I like it pretty well.
I had acquired a collection of original Model Ms at one point, started handing them out to friends. Was working for IBM at the time and the facility was throwing stuff out. I'm like, yo.Ew no numpad? That's more expensive than a Model M.
I hate how people throw out perfectly working things.I had acquired a collection of original Model Ms at one point, started handing them out to friends. Was working for IBM at the time and the facility was throwing stuff out. I'm like, yo.
That's my jam on my main rig. Love this keyboard. I use two keyboards in actuality and I rotate them over top one another since I'm typically connected to many systems simultaneously -- AND I even use a KVM box. lol. The other is a lowly K55 Best Buy "@%!# I need a keyboard NOW that simply works" and I hate to admit it, but it serves its purpose perfectly well ... just without the awesome build and tactile feel of the K95. Typing this on the K55 with the K95 looming above it, heh.View attachment 97304
k95, i turn off the lights. I love the macro buttons.
