Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 20)

[silverboy31]

I like the Macs you have setup and LOVE the Boba Fett collectibles! Which 12 inch figure is that? Hot Toys?

I think it might be a Hot toys , my kids got it for me for a fathers day like 5 years ago or so ... I'm big on the Boba Fett, looking to add an original Kenner figure at some point .

Ooh-I toyed with the idea of a mechanical keyboard but was worried it’d irritate the people in the room when I’m working. What’s it like to work with?

Not the OP but I’m pretty sure that that’s an HHKB. I use one, too. Mine is the HHKB Professional Hybrid Type-S. The S in Type-S stands for “silent”. It’s certainly not silent but it’s very, very quiet. Quieter than the Apple Magic Keyboards and much quieter than mechanical keyboards. (It’s technically not a mechanical keyboard, strictly speaking, though it certainly looks like one.)

I’ve had mine for 3–4 years or so and I absolutely love it. I type a lot for work and find the sound and feel to be perfect. Do some research though, as some people dislike them.

It’s a somewhat quirky keyboard, and there is a learning curve of a few weeks as the keyboard doesn’t have dedicated arrow keys (arrows are accessible with Fn key combinations).

I should add, one of the nice surprises was that you can use the Vol_Dn, Vol_Up and Mute keys to control volume in macOS, and the ScrLk and Pus/Brk keys to control brightness!
