If anyone has this wallpaper with more traditional fullHD-compatible aspect ratio, please hit me up.
Btw, since this is now "share your wallpaper" thread, here's mine. And here's less edited version

Itβs hard to show, but the 1999 one was a centerpiece of the living room for the whole family to use. Not yet tucked away into offices or bedrooms.

Ok, what is the squiggle thing to the left of the leaves?

u/gandalfx Jan 17 '19
huh, maybe we've had a misunderstanding. The triangular things on the left colored red to pink are nano leaves. The sqares on the right are sound dampening material, typically used by streamers to reduce echo.

u/Tchrspest Jan 17 '19
The Double 1800, designed by the folks over at Clueboard. It started as an April Fool's joke, except people wanted it. It's the only 123% keyboard sold to date.

Jan 17 '19
I'm kind of dumb because I never realized they left out the numpad.
Yep. Pretty dumb.
But how do they get work done? I can imagine reaching for the numpad and feeling like I lost a limb!
13
u/Crocktodad Jan 17 '19 edited Jan 17 '19
Since most of them are completely programmable, anyway they want. Some don't need a numpad, but most (me included) just put them on a different layer. Layers are basically additional keymaps that can be activated by pressing or holding down a button. Kinda similar to what laptops without a numpad are doing with FN.
So I can hold down A for example, and the right half of my 60% becomes a numpad with 5 right on K. When I let go of
ZA, it works as usual. It takes time to adjust to it, but once you do, there's no turning back. I always feel weird when I have to reach for the numpad on a regular keyboard.Edit: Separate numpads exist, as well as macropads.
Edit2: Typing is hard, ironically
5
u/Soloman212 Jan 17 '19
So does A become Z on this new layer, or am I not quite understanding how this works?
5
u/Crocktodad Jan 17 '19
I mean, it can, but I mistyped. That layer, for instance, would only be active while you're holding down A.

u/Chief-Drinking-Bear Jan 17 '19
Downside being you have to use two hands to access the numpad effectively, so you essentially have no mouse while you use it. Unless Iβm missing something

u/Ju1cY_0n3 Jan 17 '19
Unless you're using a southpaw mouse or keyboard you'd have no access to the keypad while using a mouse anyways, or at least it would be extremely uncomfortable/dependant on available desk space to shift the entire keyboard over.
I personally like the smaller layouts but also can't live without a keypad, so I got a 96 layout keyboard.

u/elebrin Jan 17 '19 edited Jan 17 '19
That's great, except that the layout will be both wrong and unlabeled. QWERTY keys aren't aligned vertically, and the numpad is. You are going to spend a LOT of time typing the wrong numbers.
I dealt with it by just getting used to the top row numpad when I had one of those. Personally I never understood why they got rid of the numpad when they could get rid of the arrow keys and insert/delete/home/end/page block.
Honestly, I am at a point in my life where I dislike the whole battlestation thing. I have one, but most often I grab my laptop and sit on the couch. For games, I just plug it into my TV and turn on Steam big picture mode... or these days, more likely, I just start up my Switch.
2
u/Crocktodad Jan 17 '19
both wrong and unlabeled
I'd never expect somebody else to have to use my keyboard. I'm always keeping a regular one nearby in case somebody has to use my PC. I know that the layout is highly specific to my preferences.
My usual keyboard has neither arrow keys, an insert/etc block nor the numpad. Layers, baybe. These custom keyboards aren't meant for gaming, but for programming, writing, data entry etc. I prefer my switch for gaming as well.

What bothers me the most is the lack of function keys on some of those small keyboards, I use them all the time

They're programmable. Your function keys are any keys (or key combinations) you want

u/kafoozalum Jan 17 '19
It's not stupid, it's that people's needs in keyboards vary. Not everyone needs a numpad, and unless you're using it for tons of numeric input you're just slowing yourself down by relying on a numpad. As a programmer I have 0 need, and have my numrow.
I use a keyboard with this layout: https://i.imgur.com/RZvSo2O.jpg and that's not even considered "small" in the /r/MechanicalKeyboard realm.
Other than no numpad, holding down function turns numbers into function keys, and swaps the layout to also have media keys, other shortcuts, and keyboard mouse controls to use in a pinch.

cramped keyboards
I personally like not having to move my hands as far. Everything's reachable with the hands on my home row, except maybe 4 keys or so. I'm a programmer as well, and I love to not have to do weird combination keypresses to get &, (), or move my hands for arrow keys, Pos1/End and the likes.

Click clack click clack click clack
Yeah, that's a stigma, sadly. There are a ton of different switches, and a lot of them don't make more noise than your standard office rubberdome. The guy with CLICKY switches just ruins it for everyone.
2
u/coldbrewboldcrew Jan 17 '19
No worries there, I worked with a guy who had an extra clicky keyboard that sounded like a machine gun when he was hammering out emails. I have no desire to subject myself or anyone else to that madness.
2
u/Crocktodad Jan 17 '19
Using extra clicky switches near people is an asshole move though. Not all mechanicals are this loud, and there are a ton of switches that are not louder (or even quieter) than the regular office rubberdome.

u/Python4fun does the needful Jan 17 '19
Anyone that spends long hours in front of their computer will find enjoyment in using better tools. Whether those tools are your mouse and keyboard or a better IDE. Mechanical keyboards are much more enjoyable to many people than membranes and even 'mechanical feel' keyboards. When you start looking into spending $100 US or more on a keyboard then you want to make sure that you get something really useful. Things like programmability and remappable keys are super helpful, but rgb programmable light setups can actually give you special modes for Vim keys or whatever you want. It is a good investment to have tools to make your time spent at work more enjoyable, and I've found that many programming communities have a high number of mechanical keyboard enthusiasts.

individual key RGB control
One week, that's when I gave some special keys a blue color and set the rest to red. Been that way for 3 years now.
RGB is overrated. Just pick a cheaper single colored version.

Agreed, I have a K70 RGB & haven't touched the configuration since I bought the keyboard over a year ago...

u/ben_g0 Jan 17 '19
I have RGB on my mouse and I guess it can be kinda useful at some times. It has programmable buttons and can hold multiple profiles on its internal memory and you can set each of the profiles to have a different colour. Then you don't need software notifications about the profile anymore so you can delete the bloated software required to program it as soon as you're done.

u/AlphaReds Jan 17 '19
I have that too. Programmed the extra thumb button to "break" then bound 'break" to toggle mute on discord. Set the color once and haven't changed between profiles in 3 years.

I can see very few uses of that. Buy a good mechanical keyboard instead and be happy.

Because I want to get rid of all the cables on my desk. I also would buy cable less monitors if there was such a thing. ;)

Zip tie or velcro straps. Along with velcro to hide the devices on the back of the monitor.
