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.
cheers,

You will fall absolutely in love with them and they will have hooked you into being a lifetime customer.

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 work from home. I have one keyboard and a USB KVM switch.

Care to share the details?
I have a Chromebox and a Linux Mint box. Each has their own KB & mouse with each computer having one USB dongle to drive the KB & mouse. I’d love to share one KB & mouse but prefer wireless for everything (I freakin hate cables).

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.

i also utilize a Perixx in particular 512 it is ergonomic . only occasionally does it present a pleasurable clicky feel . often the keys stick if not hit precisely . but overall i can not complain especially for the price . i am surprised those who utilize a traditional non-ergonomic keyboard do not insist on clicky keys .

MY Perixx is standard layout not like 512. I prefer the traditional layout after so many years using them. As for clicky keys, I would not characterize mine as clicky. It does click but not so much. For the price, it does the job and I am happy with it. I like using 3D mouse and standard mouse at the same time when doing CAD. Does require practice.
