I think the reason I do not really enjoy my laptops are the lozenge keys, although the Lenovo will tolerate resting. The first computers I typed on were a Wang system and we had a standalone Wang mini with a Winchester drive that was so slow you could be typing and the monitor would always be at least 2 sentences behind. I learned to type on an IBM key typewriter, and when I started work used a IBM Selectric (it had great key feel). I would have returned it but did not want to spend the return postage. I also have a wired Gigabyte illuminated keyboard that was incompatible with my ASUS motherboard on the Linux PC. I have not experienced any lag with any of them.Īll three of them are full keyboards with a number pad, and have various media keys which I rarely if ever use. They still sell them for under $20 with the lifetime gurantee. It is supposed to be spill proof, but I have not and do not intend to test it. It has the 2 row tall enter key which I like but that feature is rarely seen anymore. My backup, that was purchased pre-2011, and frankly just as good, except for no lighting, is an older wired Kensington “Keyboard for Life” that cost about $12-15 back circa 2008. I bought the illuminated keys due to eye issues, now resolved. Both also can have the lighting turned off and you still see the labels on the keys as a light gray. Both are traditional keys (NOT lozenge keys) that have a tactile feel and you can rest your fingers on them, although the Ducky is a bit better for that. It too is a solid red, no pulses or wave effects that make me literally seasick. The other one on a Linux desktop build is a wired HyperX mechanical gaming board with red lighting of the key characters to match the case lighting. IIRC, the WASD keys “might” be mechanical. It is the key characters only lighting and not backlit between the keys. Good that you're stopping there too, I like my collection but it's not like I'm trying to cover specific eras and there's quite a lot of overlap now.My current keyboards are first a wired Ducky DK2108SZ with solid blue light illuminated keys to match the case illumination. (that happened to one of my AST mono laptops stored next to the radiator) Since those both started life in Japan, be careful that they're not kept in a box in a hot environment, vinegar syndrome can happen on LCDs that have lived in hot places with no space to vent. Ooh really nice, what's the screen size on that Fujitsu? I've got its later relative the Fujitsu Lifebook B142 - the screen size is around 8 inches, not quite in the same class as the Librettos but a bit more usable with the larger screen size □ I think I'm done, won't buy more notebooks, got about 10 of them. Pentium MMX 120MHz, 64M RAM, Yamaha OP元 SAx Will be really happy to find NorthGate Omnikey model 101, one Zenith data Systems, IBM Model F AT/ F122, Cherry G80-1000 with MX Blues and IBM Model M 13 Stealth black, and IBM Model M Gen 0 Industrial grey metal badge, nothing more, nothing less really.Ĭrazii wrote on, 23:21: Bought 2 sub-notenooks from a collector. I have also shitty Chicony with Cherry MX Blue, the only good thing in that crap keyboard is the switches and the XT-AT switch, aside from that it feel very cheep and plastic, and that is awful. I really enjoy using Cherry G80-1000 (made in Germany) (MX Blacks), IBM Model M Gen 2 (made in UK), EPSON (Fujitsu Peerles, made in Japan). All i want is to find cheap NorthGate Omnikey, since i like to use quality brands, as my daily drivers.
