since we already got a desktops thread, we also need one for input devices. what are y'all's chosting implements of choice? everyone's welcome, even macbook butterfly keyboard users (rip to my 2018 mbp)
my current setup:
An old CODE keyboard V2B with Cherry MX browns, MX ergo (for regular stuff) and a MX Master 3S for gameing
- falbatech ergodox_ft with kailh box whites (w/ 1976 keycaps)
- falbatech yamPAD with kailh box navies (w/ 1976 keycaps)
- logitech g502 lightspeed mouse
- LastPadawan "Sunset" deskmat
- Clickeybits mechanical switch desktoy
- Hillside48 split ergo keyboard, wireless w/Nice!Nanos running ZMK. Choc navy switches, LDSA keycaps with MBK on the thumb clusters
- Ploopy classic trackball, which is a big device any day of the week, but it's hilarious how big it is compared to the Hillside
- Generic👓
- Sypdero Leafstorm knife
- He/They and NO TERFS buttons
- Basshead earphones so I can listen to weird experimental pipe organ music
- Cheapo infinity cube
- Misc. cables and adapters
- Crabs deskmat by Mintlodica
Nothing fancy peripheral wise, but I like what I have and it works great for my needs:
Keyboard: Logitech G610. it has brown mechanical switches and I prefer white backlight over RGB. I still prefer a full size keyboard with a num pad, but I may go out my comfort zone later or get a custom board at least.
Mouse: Logitech G403. I bought it used at the local bookstore for $20 used. It's comfy and works!
Bonus: Razer mouse bungee + mouse pad. I don't care much for Razer stuff, but the mouse bungee stays put and it makes my wired mouse almost feel wireless without the cable having to grind up against the back of my desk. Meanwhile the mouse pad does what I want and stay put.
Audio gear: FiiO K5 Pro ESS + Grado SR80X. Simply put, my Grados really made me fall in love with music again. It's a bright headphone with no more than small punches of bass and a wide sound stage. I have various other pairs of headphones around including AKG K240's and Sony XB-700s, but the Grados remain my fav. The FiiO amp+dac is a bit overkill for these headphones, but I am considering AKG K712's in the future which require power. I also like big volume knobs. (^~ ^')
