He doubled it!

CADmonkey, in Thinking about flushing some paper down this toilet, what do you say

A place I used to work had a similar problem with people flushing the wrong kind of paper. Turns out the company, which sold expensive charcoal grills, wasn’t putting enough tp in the employee bathrooms.

Kusimulkku, in Why would I need backlit keys anyway?

I like to see them in the dark

JoMomma, in Why would I need backlit keys anyway?

But … sometimes it’s dark

MrScottyTay,

Then turn on a light

JoMomma,

The light in my keyboard?

Selmafudd, in TELL ME YOUR SECRETS

That’s a prime chaotic resonator, It’s to apply fossils to your gear…

By the shining golden arse of innocence, I got that reference.

badcommandorfilename, in Why would I need backlit keys anyway?

I would genuinely pay more if I could get high quality hardware that wasn’t infected with rainbow RGB nonsense.

Ditto. Unfortunately the grown up stuff is either worse quality business class hardware or ridiculously expensive boutique stuff. If you’re just looking for a case though, Phanteks makes great, mature builds

Ephera,

Is “business class” just a simile here? Because normally, the hardware sold to businesses is of a better quality (albeit also expensive).

@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe I’m just making a wrong differentiation between what I’d call business class and what I’d call enterprise class. In my comment, I was specifically picturing those garbage soft click keyboards that ship with Dell, HP, etc. Desktops

Ephera,

Ah right, yeah, those are crap. I really don’t get why companies are willing to cheap out specifically with keyboards.
Like, it’s the tool your workers use all day. Even if they just type 5% faster on a proper keyboard, that pays for itself in no time.

Most RGB peripherals I’ve owned I was able to toggle completely off.

I’m also not an RGB enjoyer, I usually just set it all to the same static color, on the lowest dimness.

TheGrandNagus, (edited )

Yes, you can turn them all off…

…if you install 3 different resource-hogging, data-harvesting RGB lighting control programs on your PC and have them run at startup.

I’m not that pissed off about RGB. But it should be off by default.

White by default would be ok in theory, but in reality they all vary in brightness and colour temperature, so that looks jarring too.

E: lmao ok people, simp for the corporations

White

I’m a soft, light lavender RGB on white peripherals kind of guy.

Purple here for a while now. Maybe it’s time for a change.

ObviouslyNotBanana,

Lavender is nice too!

LordKitsuna,

I don’t need rainbow rgb, but a nice, dim, through key white backlight is very valuable on a laptop that’s used regularly

GregorGizeh,

Thats silly too. Just turn off the rgb feature. I built a new pc last year, it has plenty of parts that could do the disco lighting but I turned it off on most of them, and opted for a static white glow on the keyboard. Completely fine this way

TheGrandNagus,

The problem is that each part manufacturer wants you to install their shitty RGB control software that is often bizarrely resource-hogging, and sometimes even used for data gathering.

On laptops, some RGB control software can eat your battery away by a fair bit because the CPU never goes into a lower power state.

RBG should A) all conform to a standardised open API, and B) be off by default.

ratman150, in Why would I need backlit keys anyway?

I used to think this way as I’ve been able to touch type for a very long time but in total darkness it’s very nice to be able to find a key/orient things.

RQG,
@RQG@lemmy.world avatar

It is nice for the less used keys. For orientation there is this thing in the middle of some keyboards.

MNByChoice,

Lighting is also helpful in finding the keyboard.

lurch,

total darkness isn’t so good tho.

dim indirect light from behind the screen is best IMO and that’s also enough to find that rare key, as well as your drink without knocking it over and causing havoc.

Mongostein,

I touch type too, but I’ll be damned if I can find the right F key without looking

GreenAppleTree,

Where should the right F key be? Mine only has a left F.

captainlezbian,

It’s found in the top middle right on Dvorak

dingus, (edited )

Your keyboard should have two nubbins on it so you can easily find the F key without looking (it puts your hands in the home row). If your keyboard doesn’t have these, then either it’s 100 years old and someone is typing with the force of a gorilla, or you have an extremely strange keyboard.

The real tricky part are the less used symbol keys.

Mongostein,

Yeah I dunno. They’re split in groups of four, but even when I think I’ve got it under control somehow F4 and F8 are the same. And yes. Gotta be careful not to hit enter when you mean to hit backslash.

MrScottyTay,

You probably shouldn’t be on the computer in total darkness

Aaroncvx,

My eyes hurt just thinking about it.

The last 4 years have absolutely not done this. They have dragged themselves out day after day and are about to be their own volume of the next generation of history books.

Aging does that. It won’t get better, only worse.
