Re: Code Mechanical Keyboards
Hacksaw? (I too like to drag my MS natural keyboard anywhere I'll be doing any serious typing) From: Davy Jones Sent: Friday, October 24, 2014 2:54 PM To: ozDotNet I carry a microsoft natural keyboard around with me, typing on a standard straight keyboard hurts my wrists after an hour or two. Three hours and I can't move the fingers in my left hand. I would love a full mechanical keyboard if it was split. Davy
Re: Code Mechanical Keyboards
Thanks Grant, I did her that because they’re not “ergonomic” (slight curve in the keys to fit wrist position better) that they may not be suitable for people that use ergonomic ones at the moment - I currently use a Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000 Jason Roberts Journeyman Software Developer Twitter: @robertsjason Blog: http://DontCodeTired.com Pluralsight Courses: http://bit.ly/psjasonroberts === I welcome VSRE emails.

Re: Code Mechanical Keyboards
Cool, personally don’t need all the extras (speaker plugs etc), look like a CODE 87 Key Clear will be about $210 including delivery to Perth It’s weird, I’ve never really thought too much about keyboards before and yet I spend 40+ hours a week with it!

Re: Code Mechanical Keyboards
I've been using Corsair Vengence K90 gaming keyboard for the longest time... three years?. Mechanical keys wouldn't change back but i'm sure there are equally awesome keyboards out there. Had a Razor gaming keyboard which died. I also got a Code keyboard (without numberpad) and the micro usb port broke on it the first time I tried to unplug it. The support was good, they sent me a replacement part (and said they had improved the design for future keyboards). It's a nice keyboard, which I use when on client sites. None of the extra stuff you don't need and nice to type on. +61 (0) 428 028 599 step...@lythixdesigns.com @lythixdesigns | @lyynx www.lythixdesigns.com www.linkedin.com/in/lyynx On Fri, Oct 24, 2014 at 11:38 AM, Joseph Cooney wrote: > I have 2x das keyboards which also have mechanical switches.

Re: Code Mechanical Keyboards
I use the Filco Tenkeyless (without the numeric pad on the right) with the blue cherry switches. I spent probably $220 on it all up (I've got the plain keys without lettering so the keyboard is completely black... can't touchtype? not 1337 enough to use my computer!) If you spend 8+ hours per day on your keyboard at least five days per week, having a decent keyboard is mandatory, and not something to cheap out on in my opinion. Given all of that, mechanical keyboards are great, and this keyboard looks great.

Re: Code Mechanical Keyboards
I kind of don't understand what they do, their just a robust keyboard? You still have to press as hard? I've been loving apple keyboards as it's soft and easy to press, is it like this or going in the opposite direction?
