It bears mentioning at this point, as a sort of interlude, that I’ve been using a Stream Deck on my standing desk for a year or so now, and that I recently moved it to my main desk so I can use it on my Mac as well: Here it is in "civillian" mode, on my Mac. It has a few oddities ( / and ~ are in unusual places, since this is a gamer keyboard and not a UNIX hacker keyboard), but it is good enough for writing long form and the odd piece of code: I can deal with Fn to page down, but that slash key.īesides being quite compact, it is actually surprisingly nondescript wiht the lights off, and the only thing I’d do in that regard would be turning the RGB effects into more sensible backlight settings.Īnd despite the occasional annoyance with hunting down the right key, I’m actually surprised at how changing my typing habits to adopt one new keyboard with mechanical keys now makes all laptop keyboards feel strange.Īnd it’s not the only thing I got recently with linear keyswitches… Stream Deck Interlude
It is cheap, unapologetically RGB-laden, and to my surprise, other than the annoying clackety noise that seems to blissfully filtered out by Teams‘s more agressive noise filtering settings, I quite enjoy it (although I realize linear switches aren’t most people’s cup of tea).
SUNVOX KEYBOARD KEYS BLUETOOTH
So I put aside my excellent Logiteck K380 and got myself a cheap 63 key compact Bluetooth keyboard by Dierya with linear red switches that covered all the base requirements (US layout, 60% keys or less, and ability to switch between at least 3 Bluetooth hosts). I know what I really want, but since Ergodox still doesn’t do a Bluetooth-enabled Planck EZ (I’m looking at you, guys), BM40 kits are thin on the ground and I definitely don’t have the time to build my own (well, maybe, but I really can’t spare it right now), I went mainstream to see what it was like to use a mechanical keyboard for work–but on the cheap. DALL-E 2's take on what transpired.Īlthough I’m pretty much set as far as mobile keyboards are concerned, my home office situation and the fact that I write almost exclusively in US English has allowed me to explore a few alternatives. And if the title seems familiar, that’s because I really like this YouTube channel, which covers keys of other kinds. A lot has been happening on the 3D printing front, but that is still ongoing to a point where it will end up on a later post, so I decided to write a little follow-up on Cheap Keys.
