Trying out my Thinkpad T14’s keyboard!
I’ve used a Dell Inspiron, a Surface Pro 2, a Surface Pro 4, and a random assortment of other Acer and ASUS laptops, but the Thinkpad has by far the most comfortable laptop typing experience I’ve had to date.
Personal best!
OF COURSE I WAS SIGNED OUT FOR THIS ONE SO IT DOESN’T SHOW UP ON MY ACCOUNT.

Den-Fi’s GK64 Update!
CLICK-CLICK-CLICK-CLICK-CLICK!
'Chew is very not used to Compact 60%s. Function layer takes some getting used to, and I need muh special/edit keys.
Also I’m very tempted to just leave both keyboards connected to Hoshī, lol.
Desk space is not free real-estate, however.

AHHHHHHHHH! Do I spy a Neko-Danbo [email protected]!?!?!/@?@qled’;aljsd;asd.a,msd.,mdsfc’;lsdfjflWR039439840298
GMMK TKL Update!
Bonus?
Blockquotebut the Thinkpad has by far the most comfortable laptop typing experience I’ve had to date.
because thinkpads were meant for long use in offices and thinkpad keyboard are the best typing experience ever. ( I want my 11e Chromebook back sadly my schools it said no)
my daily keyboard is a logitech g610 orion red
with cherry red switches

hek, sanity check time!
I was going to post this on LTTF a few weeks ago but stinki schoolios blocked a lot of forums and blogs for some unknown reason…sanity check please
would the artifact bloom keycap series (on drop.com), the gmmk full size ansi layout barebones keeb, and novelkeys x kailh pro heavy sage switches work together without compatibility and weird keycap sizing issues?
definitely not getting sick of crappy kroambuk keeb springiness and like 0.2mm to bottom out .-.
The only thing I could think of would be shifts, but it comes with alternates. 'chew is a lot more detail oriented with these things though, so I’m sure she’ll be along with a perfect, cute answer.
ahhh thonks you very muchhh
i’m going to spend too much monehz and time on this interesting hobby now aren’t i
Looks good to me, I don’t see any compatibility issues?

GMMK’s Full-Sized Plate-Mounted PCB + Kailh Pro Heavy Sages (104/105 Switches, Plate-Mounted)
-
GMMK’s ANSI Layout/Standard Bottom Row + Artifact Bloom Series Keycap Set (ANSI + ISO Layout/Standard + Tsangan Bottom Row)
If you’d like an official-ish sauce for extra-extra sanity checks, Drop’s helpfully provided an Artifact Bloom Series Keycaps - Keyboard Compatibility List, and the GMMK Full-Size/TKL’s included in the list.
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
