I hate it when I stumble upon a well-made item that didn't command a luxury price, and I just know that it won't be available anymore when it eventually breaks. Recently had to get a new PC keyboard, my options were paying 200€ or accepting a feature/usability downgrade ...

welp, we made a small batch of high quality items, sold them all to everyone that needed them, and I made a neat profit. They aren't buying more because we made them high quality. We done here. I'm not expanding the consumer base, I'm tired.

A "Logitech Illuminated Keyboard", couldn't even find a more detailed model name. Backlit keys with brightness controlled by buttons on the keyboard, rubberdome keys, corded, and practically silent. You can still find okay keyboards with these kinds of keys that aren't too expensive, but not with lighting.

I was expecting the K800, upon which I am typing these words, till I got to "corded". For me the K800 is the perfect keyboard. I own three of them, but they don't make them anymore, sadly.

I should definitely make a habit out of buying more than one if I find something reasonably priced that I like. I usually take too long to make up my mind ...

The AUDACITY to put RUBBER DOME and QUALITY in the same sentence!!!!!!

(jk jk xD)

Needs more TAKKA TAKKA TAKKA!

But seriously, I never got on with any mechanical keyboards I tried, I like my keyboards with silence and low key action. Even "silent" mechanical keys aren't that quiet.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The low action can be had in low-profile switches I suppose. Have you tried lubed silent switches?

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

IIRC I tried regular brown switches with rubber rings. I suppose I could try actual low-profile switches, but TBH I'm not very motivated to add another project to my list ...
