Having a feeling to post something on Sunday morning

Main hardware of note:

Leftside: Lenovo gaming laptop, equipped with a ViewSonic IPS monitor, an IBM Model M SSK keyboard, an auxiliary IBM (Model M) 4704-Model-100-like keypad and a Logitech G700s mouse (actually mine, on loan until the mouse he wants arrives).

Rightside: my father's hand-me-down 2009 iMac (on which my son watches YouTube and/or Netflix), equipped with an Apple M0110A keyboard, which my kid demanded in replacement of the hideous Apple Magic Keyboard the iMac came with. Notice the proper placement of the latter keyboard on the bottom of the picture.

My son's dual setup is actually better than mine (except for the lack of an F122, of course).

removed.

You donate / lend / loan your Cherry 5000 to your dad?!

I gave my dad a black space invaders board to use as he got tired of the dell rubberdome he had been using for 4 years.

Lol, love the Apple keyboard placement.
I got an identical aluminium keyboard (not from Apple) because I wanted to test it, and you know what? they aren't that bad, although they are not as good as my KBP V60 w/ Alps Brown which I just got. Despite the very short key travel distance, the keypress is quite crisp...
Finally, I don't use it, because I don't want people to call me an Apple fanboy, which I find downright insulting!

Left my desk in its messy state as to not misrepresent how it looks day to day. This is how I use it about 75% of the time but it is a standing desk on top of an ikea desk so I raise the standing desk for an hour or two near the middle of the day to get some leg circulation on. As you can also tell the studio microphone and the acoustic foam, it is for a podcast which I am working on. Unfortunately I haven't had much time so there are only 2 episodes out.

Sweet looking keyboards. What's the orange block in top right corner of the desk?

Thanks, the orange rectangle is a bluetooth speaker from "Dylan" they don't seem to exist anymore from what I can tell.

Low-res desktop.

Nice, but needs a third monitor and a side keypad. You know which one.

171, now that's a sweet number!
A third screen would be good. For functionality, the best would be a permanently vertical 16:9...

Did someone say messy desk ?

Finally cleaned off my desk, it's been a long time coming. Here, have some pics.






Obligatory keyboard shot
Bonus turntable pic

My current setup which I put together from scratch over the past month. Still have some odds and ends left to finish though.

Beautiful setup! Reminds me of all the work I need to do to my f107 still

This particular picture of the F107 makes me wonder how well would an F107 + roller mouse combo work.

A 122 ( and therefore a 107 is wider than a rollermouse).

Not a problem for the newer ones, but older ones the keyboard hangs off the ends

It works very well (tough I tested it with a F122) - the thing that kinda sucks is the big bezel which is common tough

What keyboard is that

Just moved my computer and got a new desk in the process, so I took the opportunity to grab a quick pic before it clutters up:

Nice which headphones are those? And which stand? Looks sleek.

Thanks, those are a pair of Fostex TH-X00 Purpleheart, some Fostex and massdrop collab. The stand is some cheapo thing I found while browsing the web for something else. Says just mobile on it.

derp

That is a really nice HHKB, what case is it?

It looks like a X60 HHKB layout

@cookie: Thanks! chip chop is correct, it's a HHKB-layout X60.

Decided to harvest the switches then ANSI-ed my Unitek K-156. Man, how I miss having a bigger table.
