My old keyboard served me well, but lately I’m having to replace a broken switch every month so I’m not sure it’s worth it. It’s also noisy as hell and I hate the backlighting with every piece of my heart. So here’s the replacement.
I’ve ordered it from WASD Keyboards, hmu for the design file. Obviously Spanish layout, I chose MX Cherry Brown switches, light pastel colors to improve visibility under dim lighting, and a pattern from a Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion system to decorate special keys. I’ve added a few (superfluous) icons for editing operations and arrow keys for Vim, as well as part of an Aristotle quote I like, just because the spacebar felt so empty. I used the old Greek translation simply to avoid distracting myself (I can barely read modern Greek, so this looks like an uneventful string of accented letters to me).
I know nothing about mechanical keyboards but why not switch to another layout like Dvorak or Colemak at the same time?
I switched to Dvorak and, while it was a bit weird in the beginning, I quickly got used to the keys.
Might be an issue if they use vim?
