@topspin I have a Lioncast Keyboard with Cherry MX Brown which are the tactile silent ones?
It also has minimal light shenanigans which you can disable to boot.
Edit: The LK30 to be exact.

Status: left the laptop running in the lab to let it finish some calculations. Also started reverse ssh to have a means of connecting back (Yo Dawg, I heard you like ssh, so I
ssh -o ProxyCommand='ssh intermediary nc localhost 5678' my_laptop
). Connecting to the laptop just now, I see I've got mail. The mail is fromsmartd
, telling me that the hard drive now has 8 pending sectors instead of 0 (detected in the early hours of the morning). I read it, and the system stops responding altogether.It did turn out to be a networking hiccup, but I'm still unhappy about the impending HDD replacement.

@Applied-Mediocrity Unicomp made decent keyboards from the old IBM/Lexmark factory in Kentucky...until one day they decided to move the Ctrl/Alt/Win keys around for no reason .

But I have reservations about buying some gamer keyboard with RGB bullshit.
Embrace the RGB. Although as it's proper RGB you'll be able to set it all to something like white or, if you don't like backlit keyboards at all, it can be turned off.
-
@Zenith Seriously, what sort of retarded asshole does this? And why?
Why would you shrink the left Windows key? Why would you flip the right Windows key to be different from every other keyboard on Earth? Do they hate America and want to send manufacturing over to Vietnam but have to suicide demand to justify the move?Edit: Yes, I know this happened in 2013 and I haven't bought a keyboard from them since then either.

@Gąska If it weren't for all of the smartphones out there and stores I liked being closed down, I wouldn't know the difference.

@Tsaukpaetra either my own sense of temperature is broken (which might be the case) or I'm following you. No other symptoms, and no thermometer at home, so I'm not sure. And my own internal sense has been wonky for years.
-
@Benjamin-Hall It was sad how many people asked where the thermometers were at the store yesterday. That's something we keep, I don't know, two or three of on hand because demand is so low 99% of the time.

That sucks. Fortunately for me, the abnormal temperature went down and stayed down, with no particular chills. False positives and more evidence that my sense of temperature is screwy, I guess.

Status: At home. WTF-U has switched mostly to remote working (they're working out the details in remote teaching, but that's not too impossible as we were already largely set up for it) which suits me, as it gets rid of the commute that was absolutely the most wearing part of my day. So now I need to get busy working on what I was doing, but motivation isn't too great right now.
Also, been playing Borderlands 3 a lot over the weekend.

Status: First day of home office finished successfully. Still not fully set up for it. While I have a desk with monitor etc. for a workspace that I've been using before, it (obviously) is also full with my private paperwork and stuff, so it's been good enough for the occasional remote work but not for doing it full time.
Also, went to the basically completely empty swimming pool one last time before it closes tomorrow. Will need to find some exercise routine so the hermit live doesn't make me even less fit than I already am. Maybe should work on a weekly plan.

@topspin I'm pretty happy with red (the linear ones you hate) and brown (the quiet tactile ones you want). I'd recommend the Das keyboard pro, where you can buy the normal version or the douche version.
-
@Applied-Mediocrity pictured is the douchy version of my recommended keyboard. It's just a nice fairly basic keyboard that isn't rgb.

Point is that while I want "quiet and tactile", I'm not sure I actually like the tactile feeling of "brown". I'll have to go back to the store to check, but as I said there were a few with different cherry color designations and I didn't like any of them, and I think brown was among them.
You did give me an interesting idea though: Go to the razer page and compare the force diagrams of the one "mechanical/membrane combination" keys with the cherry ones. But unfortunately, they only show those diagrams for the mechanical keys.I do like the simple elegance of that keyboard, but despite the German-sounding name, I can only find English layouts.

Status: I bought a couple CFL-replacement LED bulbs that use this crappy 4-pin system:
The problem is that my lighting fixture that takes these has a narrow rectangular socket that fits snugly around the old CFL bulb, but this new LED one has these little round bits that stick out just a bit too far:
So now I can either file down the bulbs or try filing down the sockets in the light fixture. Or just give up, but where's the in that

@topspin We haven't had any computer stores in my area for over a decade, so I have to ask Unicomp what type of switches they use.
"Hi. What type of Cherry switches do you use? I like the feel of your keyboards but I'm buying somewhere else that didn't fuck up the layout on purpose like retards. Thanks! :)"

The keyboard I have on my desktop has "Cherry MX Silent" because they're the quietest. They're fine but I think I'm less fussy about desktop keyboards than a lot of people.
I ended up with a mechanical keyboard because the one I wanted had mechanical keys not specifically because I set out for mechanical.The keyboard I use at home with my work laptop is membrane.
