We all love mechanical keyboards, but are there any normal keyboards that hold a special place in your heart?
I for one love the keyboard on the old IBM thinkpads.
I also have a special place in my heart for the old Dell membrain keyboards that used to be in every school library in the 90’s
I really liked my Microsoft Natural Keyboard in the late ’90s.
It was so huge, I ended up learning to mouse with my left hand, so I wouldn’t have to reach so far.
My boss still uses these to this day. A while ago he found a deal and bought like 10, new in box. He has one everywhere and backups to spare.
I had one of these about 7 years ago. didn’t realize their history went so far back
You can see the PS/2 connector in the pic.
I’ve been using a split keyboard ever since this exact model was brought home. I finally gave up on the Sculpt and got a Keychron in Alice layout (K15). Not the same but the closest I’ve found in mechanical
How do you like it?
I have a Q6 that I’m very happy with except it being non-ergo.
Absolutely love it.
I greatly miss the arc from the Scultp and I use a microfiber cloth to induce an angle between the keyboard and a bad aftermarket wrist pad.
The QMK firmware is a major bonus. I built a custom mouse jiggles into my keyboard
Yup, best keyboard I’ve ever used. They made slightly different versions over the years that fit my hands as well, but none that lasted the way those do; mine is still fully functional.
