Love this. What is that e-ink looking device on the right? Looks super slick

It’s a remarkable 2. Really cool device with a hacking community too. You can ssh right into it. It runs Linux
Yeah like the other commenter said it's a Remarkable 2.
I've had it for about 2 years. Use it every day. Still going strong. Previously I had notepads everywhere constantly rifling through them.
At the time I bought mine all cloud functionality was free, but since then they've introduced additional cloud stuff with a subscription which is free for me. I personally think it's fair enough but they lost a lot of their die hard followers. You don't need the subscription you just don't get those functions. Probably the only feature I use which is behind the paywall would be screen share. During a video call or teams meeting I can cast the remarkable screen to my desktop so I can draw diagrams. I do this all the freakin time.
Hello, fellow Keychron user
I wonder if the noise is too much for a library?
Nah they're gateron reds, not noisy at all.
Although the Keychron keyboards with Gateron reds are still a LOT louder than a membrane keyboard, like a Microsoft 600 or something.
I mean, I love my Keychrons, but if silence was a priority you'd really want a keyboard designed for low noise.
Silence is not really a priority, I just don't want to be obnoxiously loud.
There's signs up in this library saying that it's not a quiet area, noise is ok and expected. There are people on the phone / video calls et cetera.
Please let those be red switches.
Gateron Reds
Good. So you aren't pissing off the entire library.
Yeah I did kinda choose these switches for this reason, I'm always using this keyboard in shared areas.
This library has signs up saying that it's not a quiet library, noise is permitted and expected. That said the clackety clack would've been a dramatic and unnecessary flex.
I'd probably go nuts if someone came in with a keyboard with blue switches and started going ham with typing in my library. That being said, it is the superior switch.
Superior to anything linear, sure. But Topre and Clears would like a word. I'm looking forward to trying some Baby Kangaroos, soon.
I really want to try topre switches. But most keyboards with hot swap keys cost money I do not have. The few mech keebs I've owned/used had lightstrike blues, kailh box browns, and some red switch that was really gritty for some reason. The lightstrike blues were really nice, box brows were louder than the blues imo. The red switch sucked. It was on a high end Corsair keyboard too. I don't think it was a mechanical membrane hybrid thing.
I'm not sure, are Topres hot swap compatible? I have a Leopold FC660C, myself, and an FC750R with clears. I've also had a Corsair with Cherry browns, and a Code with clears. I just ordered a Nuphy Halo75 with baby kangaroos.
I don't think they are but topre keyboards are kinda pricey last I checked.
Your wooden wrist rest is completely flat? The setup looks nice though, I miss those days at the library with the t420 I had and loved at the time!
It's not completely flat, looks like about 8mm on the front edge to maybe 15mm on the back edge.
I am tempted to get one of these but some times the images make it look uncomfortably large?
I've never found it so.
I often find it a little small tbh. Can't fit a lot of words on a page. Maybe a third of the content of a4 pad and pen, mostly because I tend to write bigger.
Edit: sorry I thought your comment was about the remarkable. FWIW I don't find the wrist rest too large.
Cool to know I’m not the only one who has work-from-library days :-)
Yeah I'm actually trying to make it a regular Wednesday thing with a group of friends.
I can't think that's so much pad
Hello, fellow Linux and M14 user.
FYI, the TEX Shura is quite nice :)
I really wish they'd offer a 2.4ghz radio with some decent polling. The Bluetooth accessory is nice, I guess, but polling rate sucks.
Yeah, I have the Bluetooth module for both the Shura and the Shinobi, and I'm not a fan. I run them wired mainly.
