Keyboard ?
Found the real programmer
my kb came with mac keys too so i replaced win key with command, i hate it less
Doesn’t have to be
Cast it into the fire!
I wish I could change the keycap of this key on every keyboard I own.
heres a sticker if your really dedicated
Interesting website; I did not know New Hampshire has a secessionist movement.
“Cute little thing like that, yeah, I’ll grab 20, one for each keyboard in the house, a few at work, a few left over for harmless pranks SEVENTY NINE DOLLARS clooose tab”
I’m sure the quality is nice but I’m just gonna scribble Tux in with sharpie.Since it was $79 I assume you just typed 20 in the quantity, but if you do the multiple quantity discount for 10 stickers it’s half as much. $2 per is still a bit on the expensive side, but it’s not nearly as bad lol.
Did you click the wrong discount? $79 is the price for 100.
Just put a lil bit o’ tape over it. I’m actually insane and put tape over most of the logos around my house hahahah
Well it’s not like they paid you to display their logo. I think you’re just fiscally responsible and more people should do that.
I wish more people would. I think it’s ridiculous that we’ve put up with buying all these tools and appliances that come with ads like pimples all over. Pisses me right off.
You can but unless they’re easily swapped with a ready made key it’s usually not worth the time effort and cost.
Couldn’t you just place a sticker on top? I know that you’ll either not get the led light or it’s gonna look a bit funny in the dark if part of the windows logo shines through if the sticker is not thick enough, but you can place a tiny tux sticker there!
That’ll work, as long as you never touch it. Between skin oil and just the physical touching it wouldn’t last long.
One option is to pull the keycap off and paint over it. If you feel really crafty you can sand off the coating to make whole keycap translucent and use a stencil. Personally I don’t look my keyboard that much that it’d bother me and it’s made by microsoft anyways, their ergonomic keyboard is the best one I’ve used so far.
I don’t know what I do to keyboards when I use them for a really long time, but I have the exact same laptop frame and keyboard and most modifier keys are unrecognizable and half of the WASD keys are rarely used keys because I fucked up the keycaps while cleaning and I got other keys off the keyboard in place of them. So anyways, my Windows key is abused beyond recognition and you can’t tell it was a Windows key.
Why are you going right so much more than left
I mean, if you think about it you tend to go right in 2d games, so I’m guessing he’s a fan
I mean I usually either play car games using the controller (BeamNG mostly), or I play 2d stuff (Terraria, Stardew Valley), and rarely FPS games (CS2)
My bad, didn’t explain it well in my initial comment
I broke my A and S keys when cleaning: because the WASD keys on these keyboards are transparent, I could see all the hairs or dirt under them and once every 4 months let’s say, I was pulling them off
And one day they didn’t wanna reliably clip back in place anymore
So now I have Right Ctrl on A and Right FN on S to replace the keycaps
So, they’re basically newer keys in there, and also they are not transparent like A and S were
Loos kinda dope, ngl
As dope as human scars are I guess
I might scratch mine now after seeing this. I prefer personalisation over most things honestly.
You can possibly get real creative with developing different scratch styles. From intentional needle drawing to the plastic equivalent of stonewashing jeans.
Triangle. K. I. S. S.
Holy smoke, that’s one well used laptop, I hope my laptop can last as long as yours
4 years and 3 months still going strong. I use the touchpad a ton too and that coating on it has come off too, but it’s perfectly usable. It also surprisingly lasted two pretty bad falls with just 1-2 minor cracks that I had to open the laptop up so that i can super glue the cracks just to ensure the cracks won’t spread from future vibrations.
Visual condition is pretty unappealing, even a bit bad: the erased keycaps, the lifted coat off the touchpad and one visible crack, but it runs just as it did the day I got it
4 years? My laptop is from 2018 (with only the battery in a shitty condition), my mom had a laptop from ~2004 in 2021 (until I embarrassingly fried the motherboard when replacing the hdd). Electronics last forever if you don’t murder them.
I’m petty enough to put stickers over mine.
I respect this.
Yeah that’s what I’m gonna do on mine
My keyboard came with both windows and Mac keycaps, so I put the mac one since it isn’t a corporate logo. Plus the symbol signifies a culturally significant sight in my country.
If you want an alternative, lab label tape is a bit pricy but is super durable, comes in fun colors, doesn’t leave residue, and sticks for practically forever.
The “sticker” is actually an off-cut from a laptop skin from my other laptop (which also runs Linux, and also has a sticker over its Windows key :P), so it’s held up pretty well
If I cared that much, I could have bought a blank keycap for an extra buck when I bought my keyboard and banished that thing forever. (I own a Unicomp New Model M 103-key, which only has one Windows key to begin with, and the manufacturer will happily sell you blank or custom-text keycaps. Unfortunately, while they do sell a set that includes Tux keycaps, they’re sized for a 104-key.)
Let’s pray for the day that future generations will know that to be the Super key, but like the floppy disk icon for ‘Save’ they won’t know why it is what it is.
Save? It’s done automatically now. In the cloud!
I’ve noticed libreoffice has changed their save symbol. It’s a grey rectangle (taller than it is wide) with a darker grey arrow pointing down.
Download?
Yeah maybe. Could be trying to make it clear it’s not uploading to a cloud or something lol.
Or maybe it means “put it down” (as in record, not discard).
I’ve put a GNU sticker over one, and a Tux sticker over another. I should see if there’s a Debian spiral sticker I can get (or even custom keycaps) for future keyboards.
Ooh the key that wrecked video games for decades!
I still don’t get this I don’t think I’ve ever accidentally pressed it while playing a game, and I am someone who constantly presses every wrong key while typing
CTRL and ALT is used a lot in strategy games for example.
I remember playing an FPS game… Heretic? Shadow Warrior? I would play it without a mouse. Alt would be a modifier on the arrow keys for strife (sidestepping). Spacebar to shoot, and you’re set for disaster.
Space Cadet Pinball was another one. It was nice playing with Ctrl, on the corner. But hit the Win key and you instantly lost focus of the window.
Ah that one infinite bindings key.
A bit of acetone will fix that.
Super key? That’s not Window’s specfic, it’s just a logo.
Wow
Windows G Enable
