It arrived, it is awesome, but now I am confronted with a dilemma: I love 80g-clickey switches, but this one has 45g-not-really-clickey but with an amazing feel to it. Should I now change the switches or not? I have enough of the 80g-ones and they are not being used atm, so, yeah, what now?
And regarding keycaps: I'm gonna keep the white ones for the time being, let's see
Also, this beast is really heavy. tau-ceti.space/@ics/1142125739…

If hot swappable, put some of the 80g in and see how they feel in this keyboard, then decide is if "love">"amazing"?

Als Antwort auf Jan D • • •@simulo So, tested it and I'll be neither keeping the existing switches nor switching to my other, 80g ones. Instead, I am ordering completely different switches, to these: gloriousgaming.com/en-de/produ…
They had sample switches and I must admit, these Panda are a perfect mix between my 80g clickey and the in-built linear ("Fox" on their site).
But I also decided to replace the keycaps from white to "Daydream" ( gloriousgaming.com/en-de/produ… ) - I think I need some color on my desk if I'm going to replace my pink keyboard

One of the reasons why I exclusively use neovim and terminal/shell for software development (never GUI-IDE) is that this way, I can keep my hands on the keyboard all the time. And the reason I have only 65% or 70% -keyboards is so that my hands don't have to travel at all. I lay them on the keyboard and they stay there with very minor movements. Even switching screens and spaces is all done with key-shortcuts.
I usually only use the mouse for browsing (gitlab-UI) during software development, not coding at all.

that I decided to replace the switches because ... well I just had to get rid of the energy and since I had to type a lot of stuff, I realized that the "Fox" are good for gamers but really not so good for people like me, who write tons of text, especially program code.

Als Antwort auf i. celeste aurora [witchzard] • • •With these 80g-switches, this keyboard now really feels like an IBM Model M (65%): it is super-heavy, clickey and the keys behave exactly like Model M (I think there was a smaller Model "M", but I can't remember anymore).
Once the new keycaps are here and replaced, it'll be perfect.

Als Antwort auf i. celeste aurora [witchzard] • • •Ahhh, I love the M switches, but importing a keyboard from the US is $$$ and I could not make notes while I talk to people which sometimes is a job requirement when I do interviews.
(still... what is the 80g switch that simulates the M?)

But, I think it is the combination of this keyboard (Aluminum w/ CNC) and the switches that gives this amazing feeling, including the sound

Als Antwort auf i. celeste aurora [witchzard] • • •Yes, I guess the aluminum adds to the Model-M-ness!
(I use Boba U4, which feel nice and are rather quiet, and thus not very M)
