Got some other keyboards I’m going to be checking out. The Vortex Race 3:
I really like this and will probably be my backup/QWERTY keyboard.
The Input Club K-Type:
With Halo True switches, which I really wanted to try out. Like them so much I got in on the stand-alone switch group buy. The back light is preposterously bright.
This is my current daily driver keyboard. I’m still learning where the keys are with the new layout. Typing speed has gone up, but I find I’m overlapping keypresses and getting letters out of order. So I need to pace my typing. I have two of them, one for home (which is backlit) and office. My home unit has different keycaps for each half. The right one has custom DSA sublimated caps. The left has custom MiTo x Massdrop canvas keycaps. My office caps are DSA sublimated with crazier colors.

I’m trying this thing:
If it works out, I might try and convert the keycaps to cherry MX to put in one of my mechanical keyboards. Its got membrane dome switches and it already seems harder to type with. Its better than the chiclet Apple keyboards though.
Current daily writer is the Caran d’Ache 849 fountain pen. Its very good. The fine tip is a little more like a medium when compared to Pilot and Lamy. Everything is nice and smooth. I like all the colors. I purchased the darker green color. The lacquering is amazing, and exactly the kind of quality you expect with a Swiss made pen. Nice and smooth surface and the hexagonally shape is great. I don’t mind the drop in diameter from the body to the tip mount. The only thing that might be a little negative is the length, when you post the cap. Posting inserts using the same kind of ring as when you cap the pen. So its kind of awkward @ +8 inches. Also the mount ring isn’t as tight as the cap. So it wobbles a little. Not really a big deal.
