Random keyboards, lovingly photographed

[alh84001]

I'm your inverse. I have a 4K Dell display, but everything else (besides keyboards) is Apple.

I'm similar, yet different. At the office I have a dell 3-monitor setup, and a dell AT101W, and it is all connected to 2015 15" Macbook Pro. I don't mind the OS, as long as it has zsh and the tools I need, but the killer feature of macbooks for me is the battery life. Does anyone know any other laptop that can squeeze so much usage from a single battery charge? This is my second Mac (after a 2012 13" Macbook Pro I'm typing this on right now) and I have to say they are one of the two things where apple hype is more than warranted, other being iPad mini. The only thing I might consider to replace it is one of the new Surface Pros.

As for phones, that's a whole other ballgame, they have been boring for quite a while.

In the morning in our office we have always nice rainbow effects from the windows:

Oh nice, that's like real live RGB.

what a beautiful photo

[lolpes]

That photo is amazing! and very jealous that you get to use your SSK on the office I wish!

in the mean time i though it would be fun to compare the different shades of blue and prints on my TA blue caps, this because I noticed that one of my sets had a lighter shade of blue which I very much like better than the others and ends up changing the look of the keyboard quite a bit.

See if you notice the difference:

That Unsaver is a beaut!

[zslane]

I think you could fit two full-size Filco's inside the case of that thing! Oy!

[alh84001]

It really is beautiful. And I've never seen such clean clear BS keycaps.

Scanned some images after I carried around the film undeveloped for half a year as always. Also does a mouse fit in a picture to the HHKB?

Beam springs.

Beam springs.

I second that (without the great light ):

Nice! The color balance is a bit too greenish but except that, it's a great picture.

Thanks. Yeah the color may be off balance.

[Madhias]

But then again it has much flavor because of its light setup!

Got a new HHKB-esque plate for (one of my) SKCM Blue sixties (thanks, emdude!):

Spoiler:

(It seems 9 isn't fully seated in this photo... ): Has since been corrected. Damn you Apple caps and your tight fit.)

Uhh how sleek Khers. I smell a new header for that last pic. Very nice that blue.

[emdude]

Looks great, the blue case is definitely very striking.

[Khers]

Thanks guys! It certainly is very blue

Nice Kishsaver, mrDuul! Is it supposed to be industrial gray (it looks a bit off)? And more crucially, does it work?

[mr_a500]

Today I replaced the membranes of my Goupil G81-0991 HDF by a real G80-1000 PCB, thanks to kbdfr!

I took some pictures while the caps were drying...

For some reason, this picture made me think of Darth Vader breathing heavily in the background.

[ramnes]

Haha mr_a500, that was the effect wanted, sort of.

I've been playing with some Kaypro caps that I was gifted at a keyboard meetup. They work perfectly on an M0110. The red and blue keys have straight stems and so sit crooked compared to the others. It's still a nice concept, I think.

Apple M0110, Kaypro Edition.

That's really cool!

My wife's rubber doom PS/2 Logitech. Actually not so bad. Although intensely used for years, all keys seem still reliable.
(The zebra effect from window blinds looked better here than on my black Cherry MX TKL.)
