Got tired of not being able to see my black-on-dark-grey keys, so I got some sharp new keycaps for my HHKB Pro 2.

Had a hard time finding a good set over the years, but these came up on Massdrop and I jumped on them.

@the_gayest_doggo Oh yeah, haven't been able to use anything but for like ever

@the_gayest_doggo Also nice DIY monitor in the back there (I assume) :)

Like, I don't even know Russian, so these feel like a weird cyberpunk aesthetic slash I'm a commie poseur

@the_gayest_doggo Oh, nice! I did this thing to stick a laptop panel to a mic stand a few years ago :) https://blog.lmorchard.com/2017/01/09/diy-monitor-v12/#version-1-2-mic-stands-laser-cutters-ftw

@emsenn And today I learned I'm a Cyrillic poseur! :) The keys are pretty keen though

@joeld Yeah, mine was like black-on-black. That was okay when I had great light in my office, then we moved house and it's a bit dimmer over the keys. Really love this keyboard though

@the_gayest_doggo Nice! I see lots of folks tinkering with custom & DIY keyboards, but rarely see hacking around with custom monitors :)

@emsenn Oh, yeah, that's configured to be a control key because I like that there rather than a caps lock I basically never use

@the_gayest_doggo Oh yeah, like that setup you've got would be some crazy spendy ultrawide monster otherwise

Oh yeah, and this book is on my desk, so I guess there's an unintended theme at the moment.

Is it just me, or do Paul Graham's recent tweets read just like my old jr high journal entries where I called myself a genius because I was bowel-quiveringly insecure and needed to compensate for it.

Well, I mean, you haven't read my journals but you know what I mean

@Webster This is all I'm going to hear, now.

fuuuuuck fuk fuk fuk fuk fuk FUUUCK FUUCK FUUCK

@craigmaloney AH, yeah, totally! That's the terminology I was failing to come up with :D

@craigmaloney YEah, and this is like fully decorative since I don't even know if the cyrillic legends correspond to any keymap I might enable

@hayalci @the_gayest_doggo Mine is a CST L-Trac that I got a bunch of years ago and then hacked together a couple of external buttons for it

@hayalci @the_gayest_doggo Actually maybe this one, since I have both one with a glowing ball and one without https://www.amazon.com/CST2545-5W-Ambidextrous-Performance-Ergonomic-Trackball/dp/B00YI07MC2/ref=pd_day0_hl_147_7?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00YI07MC2&pd_rd_r=32029e5a-50d1-11e9-a68d-778f08b3bfd4&pd_rd_w=cg7NX&pd_rd_wg=PNDN8&pf_rd_p=ad07871c-e646-4161-82c7-5ed0d4c85b07&pf_rd_r=VVVX3MWKCS6JKWRWFPME&psc=1&refRID=VVVX3MWKCS6JKWRWFPME

@hayalci @the_gayest_doggo I'm also pretty fond of this ELECOM M-DT2DRBK trackball on my gaming PC. But, I like the L-Trac better for my work PC because it lets me swap hands every now and then https://www.amazon.com/ELECOM-M-DT2DRBK-Wireless-Trackball-buttons/dp/B0171QQ7FM/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=elecom+deft&qid=1553719707&s=electronics&sr=1-2-catcorr
