Just got it today. What a beautiful board. It really feels solid. Thank you Wodan.

It arrived today and will be tried out. Thank you for doing this.

Needing a driver means the keyboard can't be used with iOS or Android. It also means it can't be used in corporate environments where end users have to get permission to install software. This keyboard also looks like it's designed to last a while. Are you prepared provide a decade of driver updates ...

I'm working on the UI software right now. The GUI is being written in Java so it will run essentially the same on any machine.
A thin OS-specific driver to interface with the keyboard will be written in C++. That driver will be able to take a file generated from the GUI to populate macros and key ...

I also have a Logitech K380 keyboard with bluetooth, which has a much better implementation of bluetooth.

- no need to disconnect devices to pair new devices
- fast wake from sleep
- super long battery life (I guess the Plum has limitations due to the switches and the backlight)
- fast switching ...

A great thing about Bluetooth is also that it allows you to switch between devices very quickly. At least if the keyboard has proper device switching built in. The Plum Nano 75's switching is servicable, but could be better and quicker. Multi device support isn't great on mechs I have used so far ...

If you only count initial acquisition costs, then separate systems are cheaper. They do cost you more in time very quickly. You have to maintain, administrate, update two systems. Data has to be synchronised back and forth between two systems. This additional cost in time will cost more very quickly ...

External GPU enclosures are always expensive. It doesn't matter if you're using a Mac or Windows laptop. Comparing to a desktop is missing the whole point of this.
You can have a powerful and very portable laptop for on the go usage and connect it to an eGPU when you're at home. No transferring of ...

Apple announced improved support for external GPUs just now at WWDC. Apple is releasing a development kit with a supported external enclosure with Thunderbolt 3. https://developer.apple.com/development-kit/external-graphics/

Using Thunderbolt instead of PCI directly adds significant overhead. It ...

Plum 84 might also be interesting. It comes with lasered PBT keycaps and is fully programmable. The switches are Topre clones with MX mounts. They are very light though at 35g and feel almost linear. You can exchange the rubber dome sheet with a 45g or 55g sheet from eBay.

Available on German ...

I don't have much to add to cookie.

Only: capitalism ≠ free market ≠ economic justice

Mr. Nobody, your angry incoherent ramblings aren't really worth reading.
To sabotage a nation by turning its people against its own government, isn't this textbook tactic?
There are many governments that abuse and oppress their people all over the world. That doesn't justify any one of them ...

Reagrdless of Bitcoin from what I read the "road" to a cashless society is quite long and difficult but may work in the long run.
A truly cashless society would be worrying. It would be very easy for a governments to oppress people they don't like. It also means total surveillance of most of your ...

Paying with and receiving Bitcoin is a hassle. You can't pay for any essential things of your file with it: rent, taxes, food, clothing, etc. The transfer is slow, buying Bitcoin is a hassle, risk of value fluctuation, no charge back, cost of converting to and from fiat etc.

Using for example ...

Bitcoin being used for crime is the only thing that really makes it useful and valuable. It's excellent if you want to hide money from tax collectors and law enforcement. It's also enabled the safest and most reliable way to buy drugs. Speculation and the built in deflation also contributes to the ...

Also mir gefällt's das candykeys sich mal bemüht es einfacher zu machen in Deutschland ein HHKB zu kaufen. Auf dem japanischen Yahoo rumzukriechen und sich seine Dämpfung selbst herzustellen, kann man schon machen, ist jedoch alles andere als einfach.

Ich hatte damals 225 Euro für mein HHKB Pro2 ...

All of these were a joy to type on! Thanks for bringing them.

You can sign up. But I guess you can just show up. There's lots of space.

Because the date was moved to today, I can actually make it. I packed a bag full of ergonomic keyboards (Kinesis Advantage Pro, Truly Ergonomic 229, Apple Adjustable, Matias Ergo Pro).

I also want to test it

Congratulations!

It's just the Plum brand that's more targeted towards gamers. The same OEM also makes the ABKO Hacker and CH7 Happy Typist, which are 45g and 55g.

One thing that's pretty terrible about all Plum keyboards is the instruction manual. I have a Plum Nano 75 and Plum 84.

There are places like here in product descriptions where there are parts of it copy and pasted. But that's always incomplete. Then there's the official manual, which is hard to ...

The ErgoDox EZ with tilting, tenting, and wrist rest is 295$ plus shipping. https://ergodox-ez.com/collections/frontpage/products/ergodox-ez-original
Even if you build your own ErgoDox, it won't be significantly cheaper. PCB, switches, and keycaps will be around 100$ in parts alone. Then you still ...

After I liked the Plum 75 Nano with 45g so much, I also got a Plum 84 with 35g. I like the layout a lot better with dedicated arrow keys. It's just more comfortable. The typing experience is very smooth. The keys are very soft and are a joy to type on. If you like the cloud of boobs feel of Cherry ...

Aber die wichtigste Frage ist doch: Welche Schalter waren verbaut?

The review makes a god job of introducing ergonomic keyboards in general. All points criticizing the Kinesis Advantage are very valid. Ugly case an wasted space in the middle being the primary examples.

The high price isn't only because of the low volume market. The switches in the shaped key ...

This is definitely great and could lead to K-Type becoming the ErgoDox of TKLs.
