[Medland] BREAKING: Otmar Szafnauer is leaving Alpine at the end of the Belgian Grand Prix
  • Pat Fry is also leaving Alpine. He's joining Williams next year.

    Alpine won't have any senior management left if they keep this up... Imagine being Ocon or Gasly. They have to feel like they are sitting in a building that's collapsing on top of them...

    Advice on how to start/test
  • Yeah, those two keyboards are not for me. I don't even see a row with numbers on top on the CRKBD, and when you work in Finance like me, numbers really are indispesible. And to be honest, I am so used to typing all figures blindly on the numpad, that I really don't want to mess with that.

    For non-financials I can see this working though, so thanks for the advice.

  • Advice on how to start/test
  • Good advise. Given my job, I will need a numpad, so that will limit it somewhat, but I'll have a good look around.

    Also thanks for the tip on the resale-value of switches. I thought they would be worthless once used indeed, so that is good to know.

  • Thanks for the extensive reply! This is very helpful for me!

    I'll be sure to check out a lot of reviews and stuff.

    Sound is an issue for me indeed. Not be wise of my loved ones, but I think I'll make myself go mad if it is super-loud.

    Thank you again!

  • I thought I was posting in the "regular" mechanical keyboard-community. That is my mistake (still new here...).

    In terms of ergonomical layout, I will probably stick to a regular one since that is what I have used for decades already.

    Do you have any hints on where to buy a switch tester?

  • I get the hobby-remark, which is very true. But like I said, I'm hesitant to pour in hundreds of Euro's before I actually know if I like it (a keyboard or the hobby around it).

    Any hints on where to buy these testers?

  • Advice on how to start/test

    I am someone who has not used mechanical keyboards before, but I am curious about them since I read everywhere that they are great. The issue I have is that I obviously don't know which things I will like or not. For example the switches, there are a lot of brands, and they produce different switches. When I read about them, I see the familiar terms: "clicky", "tactile", but I have no idea what that actually means.

    However, just starting to buy stuff to test it out will become very expensive, very quickly.

    How do you start with this without spending hundreds and hundreds of Euro's at the start (and without knowing if you like it or not)
