Re: “The Lord Of The M" Controllers (aka TLOTM) - call for ideas

I very much like this idea. Well implemented, it should be able to unconflate both \| key positions and allow Model M keyboards with TIE Enter + Sun ("HHKB") Backspace keys.

Re: Future of DT

Thing is, they don't know what a REAL "dark mode" is. Some apps have a dark mode (dark grey) and an AMOLED dark mode (black). Dark grey themes are preferable because grey to grey transitions are faster and less smeary than white to black. The monitor's (paper's, whatever's) convenience should be se...

Re: Future of DT

I bought Noir and love it! But I like everything dark in low light places and at night. I think it does a perfect job on Deskthority. I’ve found that dark mode seems to be a generational thing where I work. Older folks aren’t a fan but the younger people love it. Thing is, they don't know what a RE...

Re: Future of DT

Dark mode is essential. Essential if you wanna go blind. Albeit, that particular dark mode looks rather better than many other "dark modes" that are, frankly, a sin. I mean, who in his/her/their/its right mind thought that "mid-gray text on a slightly brownish dark gray background" would be easy to...

How would you call that Enter key?

Please vote :D
(Stepped) Obese ISO Enter.

(it ain't "* Ass Enter" if the bottom half isn't larger than the top half)

Re: Corsair K70 Core review (Corsair MLX Red)

Come to think of it, if those "MLX Red" feel more like MX blacks or even stiffer, perhaps these Corsair switches' actuation point may have actually been 0x45g, but the marketing dept. couldn't make sense of the "0x" bit.
