Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

    Just don’t replace your keyboard.

    I got a fancy custom keyboard for my birthday which is properly repairable and will most likely never need to be replaced.

      You say don’t replace your keyboard and then within 6 words mention the thing that doesn’t ever have to have some key ms has decided to add to keyboards. Leave the windows key off, too.

      I don’t know how long you think you have left to live, but I wish you to change that keyboard someday

      Have been using the same Kinesis Advantage daily for 23 years now.

      Not a single part has been replaced or repaired, only taken apart to be cleaned.

        I had an advantage pro, original, but the rubber fn keys eventually gave up the ghost. Also needed something more portable for work, so have migrated to ergodox now. Still miss that keywell though

      That’s how it starts. I bought a mechanical keyboard thinking that, while expensive, it was reparable and customizable so it would last a lot longer.

      Now I’m like a junkie that wants to swap in different switches or try another set of keycaps. Someone help.

      Why couldn’t I have just been happy with a normie keyboard that I trash and replace every couple years. Now I’m lubing switches like a maniac.

        I have one that i’m perfectly happy with.

        I had some trouble with red switched in the past and guessed right on thinking i needed some heavier springs.

        I bought some silent yellow’s and 2 sets of pudding keycaps, black and white to mix and match. The letters are white and the numbers + everything else is black.

        I don’t want to ever replace this keyboard.
