1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.

Too late. You will pry my Das keyboard out of my cold, dead hands.

I'm biting my lip and sitting on my hands.
I bought a keyboard, I hate about a year ago and it was expensive, not as much as the das but enough I can't justify buying another...damn...damn...damn.
Give me coffee to change the things I can and wine for those I can not!

I need to get an ebay account set up to sell some of the spare equipment I have.
But right now I'm just too busy. I've got a couple of outside projects I've got to get done before the really hot weather gets here.

I like mine as well.
My only criticism is the Num Lock LED is seriously bright: when I turn the PC on in the morning it still glares in my eyes every damn time.

Got mine about 9 or 10 years ago and keeps working like a charm.
Too bad they don't have a "lease" program where you could return the old one and get a newer model. Mine is a very sober Model S and I so wish one of the newer more colorful models.

I like my Das 5QS
YMMV, but it's lovely.
It's lit, but it's controllable, and the lighting is minimalistic and pleasant rather than overbearing.

i wish i did not require ergonomic so that i could enjoy something like the DAS you do not recommend . one of my many fantasies is to design/build/assemble my own ideal keyboard . it does not seem a difficult project for one of even moderate mechanical/electrical/software education .

Das did not have a keyboard that met my requirements. Wired keyboard.
I bought this one:
Perixx PERIBOARD-220H US
Single USB cable from keyboard to computer.
2 side mounted USB ports on keyboard for regular mouse and 3DConnexion mouse.
I tried:
Das Keyboard Model S Professional Wired Mechanical Keyboard,
Cherry MX Brown Mechanical Switches, 2-Port USB Hub
It required 2 ports on computer. Did not work properly with both mouse and keyboard.
Maybe I misunderstood when I bought it, but had to return it.

greetings kind regards
may i please inquire re/ laptops i.e. is it necessary to utilize a hand held mouse or is the integral touch pad sufficient for coding . i have only ever utilized a desktop PC .
thank you kindly

A touchpad is supposed to do the same things as a mouse, so you should be able to rely on it alone. However, I find them a real pain to use and greatly prefer a mouse.

Sufficient, yes. Optimal? Well that depends. Where do you naturally rest your thumbs? Some people find that they're accidentally triggering mouse events because their thumbs make contact with the track-pad. If you're used to a separate mouse, you may find that its preferable to attach a mouse to your laptop. And maybe even disable the track-pad when a mouse is attached. That way if you want to take your laptop to the coffee shop and just hang out, you can just use the track-pad. If you're in space with a desk, you can pull out your mouse and get a more office-like experience.
But you'll have to try it and see. You may find you're comfortable with the built in track-pad. You may find you despise the thing and only use it when you absolutely have to.
Keep Calm and Carry On

IMHO, it depends on the person.
Persons who like congested spaces feel themselves comfortable with a touchpad, and it's perfectly fine.
Persons who like larger spaces like the mouse, because it moves over a larger area on the table, and this is also perfectly fine.

For me personally, a Touchpad is not an option.
But why you don't simply try it?
You have always the option to connect a mouse if you feel uncomfortable with the touchpad

I'm not a fan of them - I have one on my Surface but I try really hard to not have to use it. Fortunately, it's a touch screen, so most of the things you use a mouse for are fine without it.

I find them awful. They get in the way. My wrists move the cursor, or worse "tap to click" the pad. Luckily Win11 has a feature that will disable the touchpad whenever a mouse is plugged in.

I have had to use the touchpad a lot when I was in the field... I can work with it and I am not specially slow using it, but I still prefer the use of a mouse when I have the place to plug and comfortably use one (that's why I always take two just in case in my bag, just in case).

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
