      It’s a remarkable 2. Really cool device with a hacking community too. You can ssh right into it. It runs Linux

      Yeah like the other commenter said it’s a Remarkable 2.

      I’ve had it for about 2 years. Use it every day. Still going strong. Previously I had notepads everywhere constantly rifling through them.

      At the time I bought mine all cloud functionality was free, but since then they’ve introduced additional cloud stuff with a subscription which is free for me. I personally think it’s fair enough but they lost a lot of their die hard followers. You don’t need the subscription you just don’t get those functions. Probably the only feature I use which is behind the paywall would be screen share. During a video call or teams meeting I can cast the remarkable screen to my desktop so I can draw diagrams. I do this all the freakin time.

          Yeah I did kinda choose these switches for this reason, I’m always using this keyboard in shared areas.

          This library has signs up saying that it’s not a quiet library, noise is permitted and expected. That said the clackety clack would’ve been a dramatic and unnecessary flex.

            I’d probably go nuts if someone came in with a keyboard with blue switches and started going ham with typing in my library. That being said, it is the superior switch.

              Superior to anything linear, sure. But Topre and Clears would like a word. I’m looking forward to trying some Baby Kangaroos, soon.

    Your wooden wrist rest is completely flat? The setup looks nice though, I miss those days at the library with the t420 I had and loved at the time!

      It’s not completely flat, looks like about 8mm on the front edge to maybe 15mm on the back edge.

      I really wish they’d offer a 2.4ghz radio with some decent polling. The Bluetooth accessory is nice, I guess, but polling rate sucks.

      Yeah I’m actually trying to make it a regular Wednesday thing with a group of friends.
