#question of the day: best options for a full-size #foldable #keyboard?

The two key ingredients here are: foldable AND full-size.

I'm looking for something I wouldn't mind working on for an entire day.

Edit: It doesn't need to have a num pad.

Edit 2: I'd also settle for a non-foldable, regular key size, compact keyboard that would fit in a laptop bag.

Edit 3: For work, no fancy backlights or they must turn off.

Just passed 6 months in my new role this week! 🎉😁

My desk in the brand new #Datadog Sydney office is starting to get decked out and personalised. Dual 16:10 monitors hooked up and working seamlessly.

Rebuilt the #NK65 Milkshake the other night and have allocated it as my "in the office" #keyboard Mostly just so I don't need to transit with my more expensive keyboard whenever I am in the office... Lol.

And yes, I'm turning into a "stickers on my laptop" kind of person... 💜😁👍

One of the 4 world premieres at Saturday's Cyborg Pianist launch will be Oliver Leith's 'Vicentino, love you - studies for keyboard'. This is another piece for TouchKeys #keyboard, this time using the technology to create a digital version of 16th century instrument maker Vicentino's #microtonal #Archicembalo instrument. He connects this to classic #synthesizers creating intimate and otherworldly sounds. Book for the premiere here: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/contemporary/zubin-kanga-cyborg-pianist/ #musictechnology

Two men - Oliver Leith (in front, facing right, he has brown hair, a short beard and moustache and is wearing a grey jumper) and Zubin Kanga (to Oliver's right, but further away from the camera, black hair, wearing a blue jumper) - are at synthesizer keyboards in what appears to be a domestic loungeroom. Oliver is sitting on a teal-coloured couch, and behind Zubin we can see the keyboard of a baby grand piano with a score from the music publisher Faber on the music stand.

I’ve just made my Dad very happy indeed.

Dad has Parkinson’s Disease – he’s more than happy for me to tell you all this btw – and he has the classic symptoms where his hands shake uncontrollably.

He’s spent his entire career in IT, “teasing the punch card girls” as he puts it, working with COBOL, and doing his best to not break various banks and insurance companies with his coding prowess; basically a general fascination for all things computer-ey.

He got me started bringing a ZX81 home one day.

He’s got an S22, as it means he can use WhatsApp to keep up to date with all of the extended family, and send them the photos off his phone while he’s out and about.

But of course, keyboards on phones are rubbish, and he’s getting so frustrated.

So I’ve bought him a Bluetooth keyboard – an Arteck HB066 to be exact.

And he’s absolutely over the moon with it.

It folds up to about the same size as his phone, so he can stick it in his pocket, and he can message both willy and nilly.

Next up, I’m getting him a GorillaPod for his phone.

Does anyone have some recommendations for a good keyboard/mouse combo if you have problems using your hands?

I have tried various ergonomic options over the years with no real relief. I am looking for a good option in that category or a decent adaptive type device. My left hand is to the point that I can hardly use it (yay and I am left handed) and my right hand is starting to become like my left.

If the wonderful people out there could reply with links to things that work for them I will sort through and see what may fit me and give it a try. I am open to anything right now.

Thank you

A Tester68 with your switches and keycaps of choice + rechargable batteries is the best wireless keyboard experience you can get in my opinion. It's affordable and I can't stand having to plug in a wireless keyboard to charge so hot swapping batteries is where it's at imo. That's also why I use a steelseries headset.

I usually type on my Novatouch because it's such a nice keyboard. The nice and rounded tactility with the inherent soft bottom out from Topre, inherent N-key rollover from the capacitive design; the nice and compact TKL format; plus I have the option to play around with custom keycaps (and other mods).

On the other hand, I always have the urge to bring out my IBM Model M sometimes. The iconic look of the keyboard, the VERY iconic sound of buckling springs, the utility of the numpad, the nice and sharp tactility, and this keyboard being the one that got me interested in mechanical keyboards.

The Model M being the one probably sounds weird considering that I'm a zoomer that didn't exist in the Model M's heyday, but I remember seeing a "definitive" (not really in hindsight) video about the Model M and how cool it was. It got me interested in keyboards, which then led to me eventually getting one in 2019. Even though I eventually switched to TKLs for the sake of desk space, I still have a soft spot for this keyboard and its sound. :btr_bocchi_pray:

Drove up to Oxford to shake up the day and work alongside Tom. Even with all the gnats swirling around piles of trash we had an excellent and productive afternoon. It’s nice to work in a place with lots of light and humor, something I hope to do with more regularity.

Extra bonuses included a somewhat healthy lunch outside, seeing little bits of projects Tom’s been working on throughout the studio and enjoying the tree filled drive.

I noticed one way the replacement #keyboard differs from the original.

The replacement has a plastic backing covering the whole keyboard. Probably good for spills and dirt not getting into the machine too easily?

The original only had plastic behind the motherboard itself - no backing where the fan is. This was not accidental; the fan could suck air through the keyboard if the bottom vents were blocked.

Better or worse? Should I have cut a hole in the plastic on the replacement?

#diy

I found the most devilish #keyboard setup ever:


- 100% 122+ Keys Keyboard.

- Trackpoint + Mouse keys (Like #ModelM13 / #EnduraPro)

- Transparebt woth black print or black with transparent double-shot keycaps.

- Every Key has a different switch!


This will mindfuck the brains of any #MechanicalKeyboard fan harder than anything else!

The problem may just be that I need to find 34 more obscure switch types that are still in production and even then I'd assume the cost to be > €500...

So, #Windows users. I'm looking for some recommendations

I need a #program that will let me open anything (files, websites, other programs) with #keyboard #shortcuts.

Preferably, the program would be #portable and not require administrative privileges.

If anyone uses such a tool, please let me know of it and how well it works for you.

Thanks!

Developers and programmers of Mastodon, whats your go to #keyboard? I'm looking for a keyboard that I can use for work that is compatible with both Mac/Windows. My current keyboard is a Mojo68 Advanced but I'm missing alot of the function keys.

I’m reading #ThomasMullaney’s book The Chinese Typewriter

It’s fascinating

The Siamese alphabet was “too long” so some guy deprecated two letters in order to fit it on a western typewriter!
They’re archaic and unused now

Lots of effort went in to adapting Chinese to the (talk about “privileged”) alphanumeric system

Starting with, how would a character-based Chinese telegraph work?

It may get a sequel about non-western computer input issues

If you're like me, you've noticed that it's gradually become harder and harder to successfully enter text on an iPhone keyboard. Today I learned it's possible to reset the keyboard dictionary so it will quit [presenting you with | correcting your input to] all the typos you've made since 2007.

To do this, drill your way down through:

Settings
General
Transfer or Reset Phone
Reset
Reset Keyboard Dictionary

... and then enter your passcode.
