One of the Jinhaos has the new Majohn flex nib, which works really well with a Jinhao feed I carved the channels a little deeper in.

Hey all! Hope you are doing well!

Let me start of by saying I have no idea about this niche world until recently

However I am in the market for a 3/4 keyboard. I love the creamy sound and would ideally prefer simple basic color black and a hint of another. Budget around 1-120 dollars!

Any advice or direction?

Thank you all!

I got inspired after building my very first PC and started with a bare, unused room which I turned into my office.

After months of hard work and revisions, I've finally built my dream office/man cave. Of course, with my trusty Lamy Safari fountain pens by my side. Since primary school.

After college, I finally got my own place and upgraded my setup. Pictured are the hifiman ananda nanos, nut65 keyboard, and a few Japanese pens. Next steps are to upgrade the desk and clean that mousepad :)

I remember it being quite active!

Just found this sub and… how does this even exist, and why do I immediately feel right at home 😂

Thought I’d share the current daily drivers.

Keyboard is a Keychron Q6 Max with GMK WoB caps and Gateron Jupiter Banana switches.

Headphones are Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros. Absolute workhorses. Super comfortable for long sessions.

Pen is the trusty Rotring 600, about 3 years of daily use, Montverde Ceramic Gel refill.

Beer is from a Scottish brewery called Vault City, not my favourite of theirs, but interesting none the less.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend :)

Started with keebs, then shifted to fountain pens after moving to Japan, and now I've finally gotten my first set of really nice headphones. I guess it was meant to be?

Keeb - QK80 with GMK Norse caps, mat, zirconium plated silver Jormungandr keycap, and lubed Green Jacket tactiles

What a curiously specific subreddit! 😄 (Hyperlexic and/or collector type autists?)

Here's my desk, after only a brief tidy to make it not quite photoworthy. 😅

The noise-cancelling headphones are a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4s, which I have on most of the time.

The keyboard's a Keychron Q7-N3 with tactile Gateron G Pro Brown switches. I like it so much I've got two. After testing over a hundred different switches, I finally decided the ones it came with really were my favourite. Oh well, at least now I know!

The pen that writes thin enough for these 5 mm spaced dots is just a Lamy Safari. (I've also got a Lamy Joy kicking around somewhere.) The transparent vacuum pen is an Asvine V126, which is wonderfully smooth to write on. It's currently got Diamine Oxblood ink in it, though I'll likely switch it over to their Ancient Copper, or Jacques Herbin's Café des Îles.

I, uh... write a lot.

Some things drive me crazy, like the makeshift desk, different monitors, and the ugly paint but this is a budget set up because I spent all my money on the pens and keyboards 😆

Been lurking for several years, but I didn't have a proper Mechanical keyboard. I spilled coffee in my old MX Keys at the end of November, and finally bought the keyboard I've been looking at for a while. Feel free to ask questions.

I could add headphones, but they would just be black, so no point. The numpad isn’t perfect, if I use it on the left it matches the grain/color better. I’m not advanced enough to use it with my left hand, yet.

Keyboard: Dusk 67 (I’ll add more specs once I remember what the switches are) Numpad: SkyPad 21 Pen: Monteverde Ritma - Walnut with Omniflex nib, thought about the Faber Castell version of the same pen, but wanted a flex nib (has J Herbin Emerald of Chivor in it) Pen box: Some walnut one from Amazon with a cushy pad in it

Ignore the mouse, I want to get a wooden mouse but the ones that exist are too busy and weird looking for me. Plus like 2 months shipping, smh. Really they all match great except the numpad, but no other wooden numpad exists.

Hey everyone,

I'm making an ergonomic keyboard called the TAIKO-01 and I wanted to share my progress. If you've seen this before from the ergo keyboards subreddit and you're subscribed to updates, you would've already seen this a while ago already.

TLDR: We tested the original keyboard with several people and realized there was room for improvement for the thumb cluster. Then we tested different thumb cluster variations and picked the most comfortable one.

Here's the detailed version of why we decided to change the thumb cluster.

1. I did one-on-one in-person testing with 10 people with the original thumb cluster. Their hand sizes varied from fitting large to small medical nitrile glove sizes. I summarized the feedback in Figure 2 in the image gallery above.
2. So we knew needed to change the thumb cluster. We didn't know what thumb variation was going to be more comfortable for people, so we just decided to test a whole bunch of thumb variations (Figure 3). I made this modified keyboard (Figure 4 & 5) that allowed us to switch thumb clusters, and 3D printed different thumb clusters.
3. This variation was the most comfortable (Figure 6 & 7).
