Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

Anyone else have a house of sick coughing people?

Me! I've got it too.

I now have one of these, and it’s just as good as I remember. Can’t stand the company, but the hardware is excellent.

I tend to find flat laptop keyboards for desktops a bit weird.

After I started using one a decade+ ago, I can't go back. Can't stand big keys that my fingers keep missing.

And the scissor switches on this model have such great activation feeling and perfect resistance.

If I could get a mechanical with the same feeling, I would.

Probably don't want one of these then

Tiny fully formed hands or giant keyboard?

Actually neither, both of those would suck!

Giant keyboard - Redragon K605

I probably shouldn't knock something until I've given it a decent try 😀

Perhaps low profile keyboards are more your thing? Nuphy and Keychron for instance make some pretty good looking (and feeling) keyboards.

That top one looks interesting. I keep buying them off AliExpress and then being surprised when they feel cheap and nasty - although the low profile mechanical Havit I got for work has been amazing.
