The most annoying time is when my boss does it during 1-2-1s 😂

Have you told them you don’t like it when they do that? I’m sure they’d appreciate the point.

I thought about it

But I'm only here for another six weeks now, so I guess it's not going to happen

Ha, yeah, not much point then :)

i often take notes during 121s, which requires typing - our 121s use a shared document (all our regular meetings do the same), so that we can see history, put things in for discussion etc ... but answering emails during a 121 seems kinda dysfunctional !

I love that idea - so often the things we talk about in 1:1s disappear into the ether

At somewhere else I worked, 1-2-1s involved filling out a form, which was mostly tedious, but not entirely unhelpful

it works really well for all kinds of meetings @U0105JJK1L3 - create a google-doc, or whatever, for the meeting, and put it in the calendar entry

if you encourage a habit of looking at the doc before the meeting then you find that for some meetings, e.g. daily standups, much of what might be talked about gets dealt with in the doc comments before the meeting starts, and the meeting ends up being much shorter and very much to the point, so win!

taking notes during meeting, especially in a way that is visible to others

or during pair programming

a silent keyboard is helpful : D

Paper & Pen! Then nobody thinks you're doing email.

The one I ordered is a Das Keyboard too

I got the 4 root, which is roughly the same, except the hub part has usb 2 ports instead of usb 3

And it was £30+ cheaper

Good choice 🙂 :thumbsup:

Yeah, I'm looking forward to trying it out. I've always wanted a Happy Hacking Keyboard, but they're pretty pricey

the happy hacking switches are so nice though... both sound and feel. They seem like they are good quality, a friend has had one for 8 years or so, and he used to carry it around to the office and it's still working fine.

Don't tempt me 😁

There has been quite a bit of progress in mechanical keyboard design in the last few years, it’s really different to 5 years ago

I just checked and the new version and they are usb-c + bluetooth, plus an even quieter version... I was ruined by columnar split layouts, so at least I'm not tempted by the hh

yeah, a bunch of keyboards now have configurable firmware, which is so so so good... These days I work from home, but a configurable keyboard was priceless when hooking it up to the locked down machines in most banks, where you couldn't even remap caps lock to ctrl

Yeah I’m typing this on a keyboardio atreus. My third split. Using these jwk shogoki switches that arrived last week. I use my old realforce topre for games. I have an unbuilt think 65v2 because I wanted to try the new style alu case and gasket mounting

@U11EL3P9U Do you use a wrist rest? My current one feels a little high with the Das Keyboard 4

Never used one

I feel they get completely in the way and makes me even more uncomfortable when I've tried them.

I might try without. I have sometimes found that they helped

I normally don't rest my wrists on the desk, I lift my hands up in a typing pose
