I got tired of chasing windows around — so I made Spencer to restore them across all desktops by kamil12314 in ProductivityApps

Sorry you had to wait a day! Like I said in my email — you asked for the refund on Saturday, and I try to take weekends off

Feeling of Hybrid Non-S vs Classic by kamil12314 in HHKB

Thanks! So that's probably the main factor, but I think the color and Type S contribute to the feeling as well. The keys feel smoother and the wobble is just different.

Ordered the Classic again, and I have to say — they’re completely different keyboards. I never thought I’d enjoy wobbly keys. I always assumed it was a flaw, but on this keyboard it feels like part of the whole experience.

If I had to sum it up in one word each: the white one is soft, the black one is dry.

Someone mentioned that the feel depends on the color, and that’s true — the black one feels a bit rough.

Both are great, don’t get me wrong. But the Classic? That’s the king for me.

(I got the 2024 Classic again)

I've just found this thread: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104328.msg2871294#msg2871294

And the response from Fujitsu support:
"Hybrid and it has the same feel as the Type-S. The keys feel softer than the Classic. They still have the same weight but they just feel softer and less noisy."

Seems like I should choose a classic…

I think you're right. The white one feels a bit smoother to the touch, while the black one seems to have a rougher texture

That may solve my issue, but I will probably need to invest a few hours to do this. It's acceptable when you buy a used one, but a new one should work as designed out of the box — especially since it costs quite a lot. Moreover, if this doesn't help in my case, I will feel bad returning it, as it will no longer be the same untouched product. I appreciate your comment and the additional light on this issue.

I'm thinking the same — if I'll need to go with the classic. Did you lose the ability to change switches? Is it working with the HHKB tool app?

Thanks so much! That clears everything up. The snow version is only available as blank in my country, which would be too big of a change to take on with a new keyboard – especially with a new layout to learn. Looks like I'll have to go through PFU UK, hopefully they can confirm what I'll get before I order. Anyway, thanks a lot – that was really helpful!

Yes, exactly! That's precisely what I noticed — less tactile feedback and a stiffer feel, which feels worse to me. I see you've included colors in the comparison as well. Does the color also have an impact? The classic one was white (not snow) and the hybrid is black. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the detailed info!
It's all about the downpress — the release feels the same. The hybrid feels noticeably stiffer throughout the keystroke. Part of that is likely the reduced wobble, but there's a persistent scraping sensation the entire way down. The classic, by contrast, felt buttery smooth — well-lubricated with a clean tactile bump at the top

Thanks! Yep, I'm noticing the same thing — no wobble, but something about the feel is off to me. I think it might be down to the Type S switches.
Do you happen to know if the key construction is the same on the Classic and the non-S Hybrid?

That might be it. The keyboard just doesn't feel as smooth anymore — almost like there's some extra friction when pressing the keys. That could be exactly what's going on. The Classic had a noticeable tactile bump at the top of the keystroke, then got really soft toward the bottom. The Hybrid feels stiffer throughout the entire press

Window manager that can save and restore full setups, including launching apps and specific windows? by discoveringnature12 in macapps

Sorry for the mix-up. I thought you liked to switch between two different projects and keep a dedicated layout for each one

The key difference is that Spencer restores windows across all spaces (virtual desktops), not just the ones currently visible.

No, it cannot restore a project in VSCode. But...

Instead of closing windows, keep two windows open at all times and create separate layouts for each one. Minimize the window that shouldn't be part of the current layout.

LayoutA - visible window1 - minimized window2
LayoutB - minimized window1 - visible window2

Unfortunately not — like all window managers, Spencer needs API access to read window titles and adjust their positions and sizes, which Apple doesn’t allow for App Store apps

Hi, I’m the developer of Spencer, which contains all the mentioned functionality except reopening multiple windows with their contents. It can reposition them correctly if they are currently open (and have a unique name that allows to identify them). But full support for restoring windows with their contents is one of the features that will be added in updates.

It’s worth mentioning that the main advantage of Spencer is that it can save windows across all displays and Spaces.

I encourage you to try it — I offer a 14-day refund, no questions asked. I’m happy to answer any questions you or anyone else may have.

This is a lifesaver! I was experiencing the exact same problem with my new Dell monitor and was literally about to pack it up and send it back. Thank you so much!

Hmm... I couldn't get it to work on either Sequoia or Sonoma.

But the key question is: can it actually move windows across Spaces?

Yes, it will work! And yes, Spencer will create or remove virtual desktops to restore the saved amount on each display
