An embarrassment of keyboards

Is that Velcro (or hook-and-loop, or something) tape on the Kinesis?

I’ve owned 3-4 Kinesis Advantage keyboards! Eventually I realized I needed switches that were a little harder to press so I got an ErgoDox and different switches.

I still love the layout of the Advantage though. I wish they sold one with replaceable switches. I didn’t like the top buttons (esc, F-keys, etc) but I didn’t use them very often.

I do love my Kinesis addiction!

Yes Indeed! An approach to modular widget placement

Makes total sense, I've also enjoyed the wireless split kinesises.

On their dev blog they did talk about iterating through different designs for modular keys, but the curved pcb made that hard to consistently engineer.

The chiclet fkeys I could do without. I would prefer real keys.

Look to me like you made a very specific thing that works for you.

Embarrassment how?

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/embarrassment

A large collection of good or valuable things, especially one that exceeds requirements or causes some sort of hindrance.

Kind of a established ironic form of Embarrass
