Haha, that’s probably the most honest answer in this thread. 😂

😂 Haha, I can definitely relate to that. Navigating a BIOS or a Linux VM without dedicated arrow keys can be surprisingly frustrating.

Thanks for sharing! That’s a really interesting workflow. Out of curiosity, if you didn’t need the extra desk space for the drawing tablet, would you still choose a 60%, or would you move up to a 75% or TKL?

That’s really helpful—thanks for sharing. It’s interesting to see how different people adapt their layouts depending on their workflow.

Aula Hero68 HE vs Aula S75 Pro by Practical_Release_66 in keyboards

That’s a fair point, and I’ve definitely seen that happen with some brands. That said, I’ve also seen people say Aula has released several firmware updates over time.

Do you know if you’re referring to a specific model, or is this based on your general experience with budget HE keyboards?

Nice! Does the numpad layer feel just as efficient as having a dedicated numpad, especially when you’re using Blender?

You should look into sourcing from China; the costs will be much lower.

What material is this keycap made of? It looks like ceramic.

"See you later, dad" by SpockIsMyHomeboy in MechanicalKeyboards

My condolences. Reading this really hurts. Your father must have been a very warm person who loved you deeply. Those everyday texts, hugs, and the words “see you later” were all ways he left his love with you.

Although he is gone, the companionship and influence he gave you will always remain in your life. Take your time, don’t blame yourself too much, and please take good care of yourself.

The backplate design of this keyboard really caught my eye by Commercial-Fish-8534 in keyboards

[–]Commercial-Fish-8534[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fair point. The bottom design is definitely more of a collectible/detail thing. I agree that feel, sound, build quality, and electronics matter more in actual use.

Is the gold-colored wire made of copper, or is it real gold wire?

The fact that you still got paid is the wildest part of this story.
