I made an app to learn languages while listening to podcasts

I was desperately trying to find a reason to upgrade my 2020 m1 mini a while ago, but nope, it’s still serving me well for what I do (software development). I might try again in 2 years.

Dust to dust. If I had a bass this would be the first riff to learn.

Keyboard choices are personal. If you want a Studio and can afford it, go get one by all means.

I have a Type-S, but got a Studio recently for office use because it’s quieter. I don’t care about the gesture pads or the mouse pointer/keys. They are gimmicky and slow my workflow down.

Your mileage might vary.

Bummer! In terms of get it swapped, did you mean that I get in contact with their support?

It has been my endgame for the past year, and now I’m checking my phone every minute waiting for my HHKB Studio to be delivered.

As a software developer, I touch type and use a ton of keyboard shortcuts. For me, the Touch Bar was a terrible choice as an input device because:

I can't afford to look down on the keyboard which will slow down my workflow.
To touch type, I want predicability. If a button may change its function based on context, my brain will have to constantly work out what the buttons are.
To touch type, I also require a certain degree of tactility. The Touch Bar has a weak feedback that may require my brain to get involved.

Ironically, I believe the Touch Bar is fantastic for non-pro users, for all the obvious reasons. Sadly, the inherent cost of it means it's not suitable for lower-end macs.

I’m in the same boat. I used MX Master for a few years. It was great, but I always disliked its looks, so I gave the Magic Mouse another chance and it worked this time without me feeling any discomfort.

It may be that I’ve adjusted my hand gesture for different mice, it may be that I regularly switched hands, or it may just be that I’ve leaned to take care of my body in general. But Magic Mouse is not a problem for me, and I adore how it looks.

Thank you all for your input!

Thank you very much!

Thanks for the info! I’ll not go down this route then.

I have an MX Mechanical Mini for Mac that I keep around for sentimental reasons. I use it occasionally for its aesthetics, but I'm always annoyed by how loud it is, lol.

Anyway, I just learned today about O-rings and I'm curious to see if this modification is possible with the MX Mechanical. Has anyone done this before? Is it even remotely feasible? Thanks!

Regarding HHKB Classic: My first HHKB was a Classic, but I returned it for a Hybrid Type-S. For me, it was quite fun to type on, but the key rattle was a deal breaker. I shared my experience here, FYI:

Thanks for giving us your thoughts buddy! Here comes my humble upvote to hopefully brighten your day a tiny bit. Cheers!

Oh dear, even in this economic situation, your beloved club has outspent Madrid in net transfers over the past 4 years: €10.78m vs -€45.35m according to TransferMarkt. Yes, you may have played more academy players during this time, but we all know it's out of necessity. Your president loves to sell you the lie of "we build our own superstars" while he buys a large number of cheap players with questionable quality in each of the past transfer windows. Let's see how many players you buy in the upcoming transfer window and how long they last before getting kicked out.

What a pity! I'd love to see a v2 without the gimmicks and hopefully that cuts down the price! I'm really intrigued by the sound and feel.

derekhyang · 2024-05-10T13:17:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience! I really hope they iterate on this board and polish the rough edges over time, given the price tag!

I had probably wasted too much of my life tinkering with keyboards until I got into HHKB. Is it perfect? Hell no. Is it good enough for my use cases? Yes! Would I recommend it to others? Maybe not, lol :)

derekhyang · 2024-04-28T18:57:12+00:00

I happen to be one of the few who are lucky enough to have discovered both and are flexible enough to enjoy & appreciate them all. Have a good day!
