    Love this. What is that e-ink looking device on the right? Looks super slick

      It’s a remarkable 2. Really cool device with a hacking community too. You can ssh right into it. It runs Linux

      Yeah like the other commenter said it’s a Remarkable 2.

      I’ve had it for about 2 years. Use it every day. Still going strong. Previously I had notepads everywhere constantly rifling through them.

      At the time I bought mine all cloud functionality was free, but since then they’ve introduced additional cloud stuff with a subscription which is free for me. I personally think it’s fair enough but they lost a lot of their die hard followers. You don’t need the subscription you just don’t get those functions. Probably the only feature I use which is behind the paywall would be screen share. During a video call or teams meeting I can cast the remarkable screen to my desktop so I can draw diagrams. I do this all the freakin time.

          Although the Keychron keyboards with Gateron reds are still a LOT louder than a membrane keyboard, like a Microsoft 600 or something.

          I mean, I love my Keychrons, but if silence was a priority you’d really want a keyboard designed for low noise.

            Silence is not really a priority, I just don’t want to be obnoxiously loud.

            There’s signs up in this library saying that it’s not a quiet area, noise is ok and expected. There are people on the phone / video calls et cetera.

          Yeah I did kinda choose these switches for this reason, I’m always using this keyboard in shared areas.

          This library has signs up saying that it’s not a quiet library, noise is permitted and expected. That said the clackety clack would’ve been a dramatic and unnecessary flex.

            I’d probably go nuts if someone came in with a keyboard with blue switches and started going ham with typing in my library. That being said, it is the superior switch.

      It’s not completely flat, looks like about 8mm on the front edge to maybe 15mm on the back edge.

          I’ve never found it so.

          I often find it a little small tbh. Can’t fit a lot of words on a page. Maybe a third of the content of a4 pad and pen, mostly because I tend to write bigger.

          Edit: sorry I thought your comment was about the remarkable. FWIW I don’t find the wrist rest too large.

    I can’t think that’s so much pad

      Yeah I’m actually trying to make it a regular Wednesday thing with a group of friends.
