Nanoraptormore keyboards should have obtuse parts. things that aren't needed. switches that will never be touched.
num lock. static lock. try. try not. F15. unpipe and unpipe 2.

@NotTheLBCGuy that is *glorious* and would use.
Elias Mårtenson@NanoRaptor @NotTheLBCGuy I was one click away from ordering that one. Problem was I had already ordered this (and was still waiting for it at the time). Less glorious in terms of number of keys, but much nicer feel (it's got proper buckling springs)
D2@loke I *can* hear this photo.
@InkomTech @NanoRaptor @NotTheLBCGuy my computer is in the bedroom. My wife also tells me she can hear it.
Judge: this divorce petition has ‘fucking keyboard’ down for cause. Is this a JD Vance thing?
No, your honor. <shows photo>. In. Our. Bedroom.
Judge: Ah. Yes… a _classic_ example of Irreconcilable differences. <breaks out the ‘Approved’ stamp>
Lars Brinkhoff@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor Nice, but not the original Lispm space-cadet keyboard.
Liam Proven@larsbrinkhoff @NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor
If you do not want a Recreated Model F keyboard, then perhaps a recreated Space Cadet is more your thing?
@lproven @NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor I'm looking for something to replace/supplement my aging Happy Hacking keyboards. Keymacs looks interesting, but not for > $1000.
@larsbrinkhoff @NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor
Yes, they are _extremely_ spendy.
I am intrigued all the same, and want to try one.
Ben Pfaff@lproven @larsbrinkhoff @NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor That has far fewer keys than I expected an Emacs keyboard to have.
Butternuts 🦆@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor i got a craving
algernon.st@NotTheLBCGuy
what company makes them again? remember seeing this fully custom keyboard company doing this sort of thing and i dont remember the name

The Recreated Model F keyboards are here:
@lproven
distinctly remember it being a space cadet/emacs specific custom keyboard company, definitely sure it wasnt that

@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor
@zardoz03 @NanoRaptor it’s a Hyper 7 from Mechboards. Mine is an R2, the latest production run is R4 https://mechboards.co.uk/products/hyper-7-v4

The product page for that monster is something in itself.

MattChippytea@sheddi @NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor mechanical glory from Suffolk… I particularly enjoyed “The Hyper7 has enough keys to easily explain to your significant other why this keyboard was more important than the new car you've been saving up for”
Tor Lillqvist@NotTheLBCGuy I don’t see the ”ARM” and ”FIRE” keys.
Michael Gemar@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor Does the “SMOL” key make something adorably little?
Bob Thomson@michaelgemar @NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor EVERYTHING IS CAPS LOCK BY DEFAULT AND SMOL MAKES IT smol? The keyboard for owning libs?
K4mpfie@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor Looked at it for a second. Immediately overwhelmed 
What does the key between the space ~bar~ keys do?
@K4mpfie @NanoRaptor it can be configured to do whatever you want, but by default it momentarily activates Layer 1.
@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor Okay I think I need to read up on this keyboard some more 😅No idea what Layer 1 is, but given the logic operators on the keys I would guess it's some sophisticated calculators from the last millennium...
@K4mpfie @NanoRaptor Layers are how you add extra functions to keys. For example Shift is a layer that makes the a key type A instead. Alt is a layer that makes the s key send the Save command instead. With programmable keyboards you define your own layers to make any key do anything you want.
@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor Thanks for the explanation :))
Hazelnoot@NanoRaptor @NotTheLBCGuy I love the "smol" key!
Peter Hollo@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor I've finally got my Emac setup the way I like it
Simon Eilting@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor reminds me a little of the stickers my dad had on his keyboard showing all the functions of all the keys in all combinations, for WordPerfect 5.1 - 3 rows of colourful cryptic abbrev. above every key!
Or the 24-F-key things I had to use for ancient IBM monsters. Everybody just typed in the commands, easier to remember.
Gaziel@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor wouha! What the FUN key do ?
@Gaziel @NanoRaptor activates the FUNction layer
@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor arf, I am desapointed !
Dan@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor we add an АЗ-5 key and it's the one true board
Consensus Tullyality@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor the space cadet caps 😍
I came so close to getting in on that group buy back in the day…

Rusty Shackleford@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor @dannotdaniel
This keyboard made me cum
ɹ uɐp 
@rusty__shackleford @NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor I like where they put caps lock
way the fuck out of my way
Neputunu@rusty__shackleford @NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor @dannotdaniel i don't really like having the caps lock in the far top right like that.
@sand @NanoRaptor @dannotdaniel @NotTheLBCGuy
Entirely diy, you can do anything you want:

@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor I assume the EOF key is there to reduce the number of keystrokes required when frequently typing the name ‘Geoffrey’.
Phil M0OFX@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor Is it really a keyboard if you don't have SUPER HYPER and META keys?
@philpem @NanoRaptor right of the right-hand space bar is SUPER HYPER META.
@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor huh. that grey on light blue is a real pig. I thought they were blank keys.
@philpem @NanoRaptor yeah it’s not the most accessible 😕 Unfortunately when I bought this there was literally only this keyset to fit it (there is another one now but no way am I investing more in this behemoth now).
Weekend Editor*wipes away a tear of nostalgia*
Also, the processor & software to which these were connected!
Techokami@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor god I would love a behemoth like this, but
1) my desk is not big enough
2) it would require a mortgage to afford
3) didn't it use foam and foil switches that disintegrate into pure nastiness

@techokami @NanoRaptor nope, this one is using mechanical switches.
@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor 👀 well that solves the third point but the first and second points are still showstoppers
nleanba 
@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor desperately need one of these 🤩
Matthias 
@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor It even has the PlayStation buttons. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Paul Bowsher@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor I like the key for grateful people with a slight stammer
t-thank you!
四@NotTheLBCGuy @NanoRaptor That old school blue is lovely.
