What keyboard do you use?

Why? How is your experience with it? Is it your favo(u)rite ever? Would you replace it? What will be the next?

I've been using a vortex pok3r for 3 years now and love it. I love being able to configure some crude vimlike mappings to have everywhere that wouldn't have them. The typical h,j,k,l are great to keep your hands on the home row, but keys like home and end are harder to reach and I never end up using them unless I really need them, a and i are much more natural after using vim.

Great hint @mattwaler about the MX, thank you. Is the creative input dial (Crown...?) actually useful?

Cool! What about the battery life?

Durgod K320! Looks vintage (like my first keyb!) and it's my first mechanical one. Also has a small footprint, that gives me more space for the mouse (even if I've a large desktop).

That's actually true, has a peculiar appearance. Is it comfortable to use? Is the housing plastic built, right?

Yes, it’s comfortable. Plastics but well built.

A plain, white Ergodox EZ Shine with sculpted/blank keys, but with this aluminium+silicone kitty paw.
The switches are "Silent Reds". This is before they used solderless switches.

That kitty paw is amazing :) Is (the keyboard) actually comfortable?

Definitely.
This was before they used solderless switches, so I can't easily try others, but I am satisfied.
Maybe if there was a clicky switch with as low an actuation force as this I would be tempted.
I should try someone's Speed Silver 🤔

I perceive that, with good reason, many people like it.
