Which keyboard are you most used to?

[DizzyDesii]

Today I started training at my new job. Man I have spent the last 5 years using a laptop keyboard at work (when I’m not on my phone at home). This new job gave me a full on desktop monitor and longass keyboard with all these spread out ass keys. Lol i ain't used one of these since graduating college in 2017 😂 So far, Today has been unprofessional and a bit sucky. My headset mic doesn’t even work, but hey, the tech is hot, so I’ll keep playing clueless 🤣🤷‍♀️

Congrats to you on transitioning to a new job first of all!

Now to answer the question, I can adapt to all types of the keyboard presented. Although I have trouble with the UK keyboards and will not work on one if ever given the chance. I would say Im used to the full PC keyboard as that is what I have in my home.

As a tech engineer though, my dream keyboard that I am oh so eager to get used to is, Split Mechanical Keyboard. I notice with a regular full PC keyboard it forces my arms to reflexively tense up to meet the demands of hitting the keys quickly and causing underarm sweat to build in the process ( ewwww ). So having a split keyboard to relieve this would be a dream.

[DizzyDesii]

This job is so fulla shit i wanna transition back 😂

[TrueConfection]

I voted B, because my laptop keyboard is closer to B. I actually use my phone the most, but it's swipe not type (hence all my typos).

[DizzyDesii]

Haha i can't with the swiper no swiping for me

[MCheetah]

Wasn't your last job full of "dumb women" and you had to train them or something? I always assumed you worked at the DMV or some other government job.

Anyway, laptop keyboard, which I'm literally using right now to type this. Only, it has thick keys like a PC keyboard and not those obnoxious flat keys most laptops have. I also couldn't use this ugly-ass Acer without an actual PC mouse either.

[DizzyDesii]

It wasn't the dmv but yea it was a silly fed job. This ones no better

[MCheetah]

Well, at least you haven't resorted to OnlyFans yet.

[DizzyDesii]

I will never stoop low. My jobs are high and mighty. Just crooked af with slave hours

[TallAnon]

A full keyboard with mechanical switches, an arm rest, backlit, with custom macro options 😂 I use that shit just about 14 hours a day, lol

[DizzyDesii]

Holy smokes

[TallAnon]

A professional cyclist needs a good bicycle, a programmer needs a good keyboard 😁

[mstbooblover]

Over many years, since my childhood till now, I used many different keyboards. It started with a French azerty real mechanical typewriter. During my military service I had to face German querz keyboards, still with classic typewriters.

My first computer, an IBM desktop running DOS, had a Belgian azerty keyboard, and that's the layout I still prefer. But one of my laptops has a British querty layout, and another a Swedish one. When I was in my teen years I memorized the azerty layout, and on every computer I had, and have, whatever is written on the keys, I just type blindly as if on Belgian azerty. It's a matter of configurating the layouts. Sometimes I have to switch layouts in order to type some special character as for instance "åÅ".

On the other hand I don't have a Smartphone, only a classic cellphone with its older phone keypad.

I mix up my week with working from home, working from the office and out n about.

this means using my home keyboard (expensive gaming one, which is great) also my cheap works one which is smaller and keys closer together, my laptop with a crap keyboard, my IPad Pro either screen keyboard or Apple key board.

my typing really sucks at moment as I touch type but changing keyboard sizes sucks big time, as certain letters are not in the right place lol.

[DizzyDesii]

My typing definitely sucks

[Jaximus-Lion]

B) all the way. You can have a wrist rest pad too.

I have my own problems with laptops plus carpal tunnel problems so the OG keyboard is the one i always use.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i think i have carpal too so not looking forward to this

[Jaximus-Lion]

This one is better than laptop keyboard, specially if you have any hand/wrist problems.

[ArtemisSilver]

A full keyboard, the number pad is so much faster when you're doing math, accounting, taking payments.

I find mini keyboards slow and hard on my shoulders and wrists. I'm already 6'1" and naturally muscular, I'm not built for a desk job. I'm already stiff af after a day on a full size keyboard, I'd probably end up with an RSI using anything smaller.

Besides, clacking away on my big mechanical keyboard makes people think I'm working harder than I am.

[DizzyDesii]

I never used the number pad in life lmao

[ArtemisSilver]

Do you like, do actual work on the computer?

[DizzyDesii]

Yea but anytime i needed the numbers, i used to the top row numbers rather than the number pad

[ArtemisSilver]

That's so slow though 😂

[DizzyDesii]

It works best for me

[worldscolide]

Definitely the full keyboard. My first one was a buckling spring switch keyboard called the IBM M3. this is what I use now. Still mechanical keys. It's behind the boat lol

[DizzyDesii]

Ooo i like how yours glows

[worldscolide]

Lol me too! But that wasn't the reason I bought it, it was the tactile feel of it.

[Jamie05rhs]

Omg-. I remember texting on those old phones. That took SO long! Lol. Especially if you f'ed up and hit the button too many times. Hahaha. ... But I actually got pretty good at it after a while. (And it was awesome when they added predictive text!!)

by the way, CONGRATULATIONS!! 👏😃🎉

[DizzyDesii]

I dont miss it at all haha. And check the update

[Jamie05rhs]

@DizzyDesii Aww. Is it that bad?

[DizzyDesii]

Yesss

[Jamie05rhs]

Aww. I'm sorry.

[TrillXHippy]

I’m used to my phone keyboard because I do spend a lot of time on it. Every now and then I get to use the pc keyboard at work depending on who’s at the front desk. I really hate the chrome book keyboard. It’s not so much about the typing but it’s when I have to scroll down

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i dont like chromebooks at all

[Alex8736]

If you are wearing a headset the best way to hear and communicate is to put an earplug in your other ear so no background noise is a distraction but I have used both desktop and laptop and I literally need to use a mouse due to the computer constantly freezing up and clicking something I wasn't supposed to followed by a "come see me" note to go to the principals office 😜

[DizzyDesii]

I think theyre noise canceling

[TommyMountainFigure]

I can only use what you call a full on keyboard.. If I was required to use anything else? I'd buy one on Amazon as quickly as possible or bring one in from home!

IF I was required to use anything else, I would download a copy of Dragon Pro, as it does a good job of converting your speech into text!

[MTC29]

Full keyboard at my desktop. I have a laptop which I seldom use and a Chromebook which I take on vacations. My WhatsApp account is link to my desktop so that I can type with the full-sized keyboard. I hate phone keypads, so my phone is for phone calls, single sentence texts, and sending an occasional photo or document.

[Whatthefluff]

I am most efficient on my little chromebook keyboard. It's the right size to type quickly for me and has flat rather than raised keys 👍

[DizzyDesii]

Ooo flat sounds way better

[raddisn]

Mechanical keyboard

[Th3ft]

Oh no! Sounds really bad! I haven’t used an actual completed in about the same amount of time. But this job sounds aweful!

[DizzyDesii]

Im about to cry legit

[Th3ft]

I would give you a huge through the internet but I don’t know how do you feel after Covid with personal space?

[Th3ft]

What kind of company is it?

[DizzyDesii]

Lol yes i’d hug. And well i thought it was something administrative but turns out they think im about to be a fckin saleswoman. Hell no

[Th3ft]

😂😂 yeah that is some smooth communication! 😂
Did you hand their asses to them?

[DizzyDesii]

No but the coworkers did

[Th3ft]

Well I guess we’ll done on keeping yourself under control. Haha!

[ElvenMr]

I'm used to PC keyboard the most. Second would be new phone keyboard, then laptop, then old phone keyboards.

There are different height pc keyboards tho (the keycaps). I'm not a fan of the high profile keyboards, low profile is more comfortable for me.

[humanearth]

I love this old keyboard from the 1990s

[DizzyDesii]

Look like it got pissed on 🤣

[humanearth]

They start to turn yellow after being 30 years old

[DizzyDesii]

I know. We have one haha

[exitseven]

The sound of a room full of these keyboards was really loud.

[DizzyDesii]

@exitseven yes and so awful

[IJhonnyI]

For me it's all of them besides the older phone keypad, sorry but I can't do that😂.

[DizzyDesii]

Hahaa

[Blackcosmo]

I'm used to the laptop keyboard and it's my personal favourite.

[DizzyDesii]

I prefer the phone but yea im definitely used to the laptop in comparison to this one

[Anonymous]

I use my laptop the most, but don't remember having any problems with a normal pc keyboard. My smartphone typing skills are shit though xD

[DizzyDesii]

All of ours haha

[slatyb]

Kinesis Advantage keyboard.

[Anpu23]

I like a full keyboard.

Sorry about the job thing. That sucks.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea im stuck here for the next 3 months at the least. **sigh**

[strawhatEli]

I use all kind of keyboards.
But I still adore those old phones with qwerty keypads, not the digital on-screen keypads, they are shit as fuck, but the ones we used to with Blackberry or Nokia 97 or E63.
