My local buynothing page has a lot of keyboards. There was a mechanical one the other day, but I didn’t win the draw

        Late to this, but you can’t call tactiles “brown” anymore; ever since Cherry’s patent expired some 10 years ago the market has exploded. Right now I’m typing on a franken tester board with some 30 tactiles of different make and model, and I barely have scratched 20% of the tactile switches available on the market, by my estimation.

    Didn’t even know that sort of site was a thing. I do have a few kits I want to pass onto people who will be able to use them. Thanks!

      Yea they are nice to check out. I don’t always see things that I am interested in, but it’s great that the group exists. It stops a lot of stuff from going to waste

    I am so happy with the advances in keyboard technology. i have really heavy fingers when i type. Not physically, but I’ve always used a bunch of force despite my best efforts.

    And love mechanical keys, so that makes everything super duper loud.

    Thankfully there are entire youtube channels devoted to keyboards and I was able to find a board that can be mechanical and wonderful but not sound like the end of days whenever try and send an email or type out anything too long. ___
