What kind of keyboard do you code on?

I always wondered why one would need a backlit keyboard anyway.
The only thing I can think of: Light the proximity of the desk to find your smartphone to turn on the room lights. :slight_smile:

It looks cool :stuck_out_tongue: plus I loooove to code/game in the dark and that way I can see the keys still

See the keys?

You look at the keyboard when you type?

Sometimes, if I lose track of them :slight_smile:

I remember when I was still in middle school I couldn’t type without looking down at the keys. The constant swivel my head had to do to keep an eye on my typing and looking at the screen to make sure I wasn’t typing nonsense was really tiring, and I was always envious of people who could type without looking at their keyboard.

Now I look back on those days and smile. I was a… a noob! I also typed REALLY loud!

Opiop, I’m going on three times your age and still look at the keyboard. I just have zero manual coordination :frowning:

@Soul Foam: Let’s see the first ones who answer with that they don’t know what keyboard they used, 'cause they didn’t look at it for the last ten years and cannot remember anymore :wink:

Apple A1048 wired keyboard here :emo: Spilled some water on it once. After cleaning and putting it back together i realized left ctrl isn’t working. And im too lazy to fix it :stuck_out_tongue:
Thinking of buying a mechanical one.

Matias has some great Apple-esque mechanical keyboards. :slight_smile:

A dirty and dusty 2012 Razer Lycosa. Definitely needs an upgrade. I knew nothing about keyboards at the time. :persecutioncomplex: It has worked like a charm all this time, though!
