Stuart Langridgemade the mistake of thinking that I could do with a new keyboard, and so reading stuff online about it. This is useless; everyone who talks about keyboards is a nutter about them. It's like trying to ask about new headphones for your bus trip on audiophile forums or something.
what I really need to do is go to a shop and just try typing on a bunch of keyboards, but there aren't shops like that in the city centre, more's the pity
Nic@sil i would probably start by trying to determine the form factor you need (an ergo one? Full size? Tenkeyless?) and then go from there! From my small stint in the keyboard industry, I can confirm no one is normal about it đ
@NicMakesStuff I did not know the word âtenkeylessâ until about 12 hours ago but I do now so I have learned some things! Fortunately, I think that such questions are answered by âIâd like the number pad because Blender uses itâ which is convenient
Matthew@sil You can manage Highgate for Curryâs shurely? Nice walk through Highgate Park, see rust massive St Alban church and the central mosque. Or CEX on bull street maybe?
@dracos thereâs a Curryâs there? Neat, I didnât know that. That could be the answer! Nice one, thank you!
Anton Piatek@sil @dracos I found the range in curry's really limited. You're right, they're all fanatics and even if you've a firm factor in mind there's still loads. Worse if you're OK with US layouts as there's a million custom ones out there, which may be great for choice of keys (Cherry MX) but impossible to try unless you know someone with that set
Peter Oliver@sil In the mechanical department they'll probably "only" have so-called red switches, but at least you can rule them in/out.
