no anon i am not fucking kidding
i am a professional writer. there is no way i would want to use one of those apple keyboards full time unless i wanted to shorten my career because of tendinosis. a decent full travel keyboard is a must.
also those apple keyboards are hideously overpriced and don't necessarily last longer than a normal keyboard. i occasionally wear keyboards out. there are lots of decent keyboards that are reasonably priced that will last just as long as one that costs three times as much because it is shiny and has an apple logo on it.
i'm not anti-apple- i use all three major desktop OSs (mac, windows and linux) regularly. i tend to use the same keyboard (and mouse) with all of them.
>>8577547
Penguin Little black classics in think.
>>8579116
No, you're actually wrong. Those keyboards have a completely different feel from anything else due to the more responsive keys. They require far less movement in order to be pressed down and allow for much more efficient typing.
>>8578725
3 fluently, and some less fluent French
