Does anyone else out here have a hard time typing on a laptop keyboard vs an old-school slanted one?

Having grown up typing on regular typewriters, including the trusty manual Olivetti's, I find the flat laptop design irritating.

I have a wireless full-size w/ numeric keyboard but somehow USB Receivers (keyboard & mouse) seem to have gone missing. I'm certain I kept them in the USB hub when I packed up in Aug but they weren't there when I unpacked.

@see_the_sus I also grew up typing on regular typewriters, but I’ve used the flat laptop ones for so long I have a hard time whenever I use this one that I built, since the keys are a little high off the case. I hope you find yours. 😆

Those are some interesting keys. Gamer keys? I'm clueless about altering or building tech.

@see_the_sus Oh, dear, the mechanical keyboard community is a whole rabbit hole. Lol. A lot of places now sell kits that have all the stuff you need to build one. And there are so many profiles of keys that you just find one you like and pop them on. Most places will send you sample of keys and/or switches, too (not free but cheap). It’s actually pretty fun once you figure things out a bit.

Niiice!!! I can see myself switching out the Shift key or Delete keys for some goofy as shit word or symbol.

@see_the_sus Exactly! There are a few places that will even do custom printing on the keys for you.
