Yeah it's an amalgamation of a layout, raised with a big ass enter keyboard, later switched to a standard ansi and always hated that backslash and pipe had a large key? Always bothered me. After a while I got my hands on a wyse 50 keyboard and did a soarer's mod on to make it usb and was happy for awhile until they key combos resulting in other keys finally pushed me to moving on. I don't remember many but ctrl+w+e would send tab, not great when I'm crouch walking and go to open a door.

Would still love to have a space larger than 7, that 9.75 space bar was something else.. Also got me to love control below tab. Though now I don't even want a caps lock key, if I for some reason really want to use it I have key combos, both shifts works fine for me should I need it.

As someone who used to be enamored with huge keyboards I don't get it myself, I tried it because I thought it was neat and next thing I know I'm just stuck here.

By pressing function+2, though in using TD instead of MO I do have to wait 200ms.. I like having F13-F24 on a third layer though.

Unless something very different comes along I don't think I'll be moving on from this keyboard.

Ryeworks M0110 hotswap keyboard with solenoid, PCB and FR4 plate both with flex cuts, Kailh box pro deep sea whale tactile(what a mouth full), staebies stabilizers and cherry profile double shot pbt keycaps.

The amount of flex, the tactiles with the solenoid, the layout, everything is exactly as I would want. I keep looking and browsing different keyboards, switches, stabilizers and keycaps but I'm just not seeing anything I feel like buying and trying.

I was using one with high profile, dark colored abs keycaps but just wasn't satisfied, tried a light color one with higher contrast caps and it was a huge improvement. I then went to a split left shift and having a function key on that side made it perfect for me.

I guess I solved my desire, which should be a good thing right?

Absolutely no hot tubs in the dumpster.

When you cut your own hair with clippers which side do you use the left/right ear taper guards on? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

A good couple passes each way and I like to taper from the ear to my forehead and over my neck too.

I started doing it with the pandemic and now I can't bring myself to pay a barber again.

Standard MX and hair? (lemmy.world)
 

My circle of friends that use mechanical keyboards isn't that large, though I don't seem to know anyone else with as many issues as I've had with standard style MX.

My introduction to mechanical was some razer board with blues I got from a returns store, don't remember how many times I opened faulty switches to remove one of my hairs from between the contacts.
My next board I kept for years and years was a converted wy50 with black switches, same deal. Partial to a 9.75u space bar I used the wy50 caps to handwire my own keyboard and decided to use some tecsee switches so if I mess them up I wouldn't feel like I wasted much and they were the worst yet for hoovering up hair.

No one else that I know seems to ever have had a problem with it and it only got worse after getting a cat.

Early 2022 I tried kailh box switches and haven't had an issue since.

Daily driver post (lemmy.world)
 

Been my daily since April of 22, GMMK Pro with kbdfans PGA WOB and Kailh deep sea silent linear switches. Used some 3m mount tape to stick some am4 cooler brackets on the back since they were what I had that would set the board at 15° where I like it.

Got what will hopefully be my new daily in the mail, if I can adjust to hhkb. Some days I still miss having a numpad lol.

Kouhai came from a litter we found on our street, she was the runt then and she's still only about 2/3 the size of the others.

Politely vocal, pokes at me when I sleep in and loves to flop all over me as I put my shoes on in the mornings.
