Love this. What is that e-ink looking device on the right? Looks super slick

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.
Hello, fellow Keychron user
I wonder if the noise is too much for a library?
Nah they're gateron reds, not noisy at all.
Although the Keychron keyboards with Gateron reds are still a LOT louder than a membrane keyboard, like a Microsoft 600 or something.
I mean, I love my Keychrons, but if silence was a priority you'd really want a keyboard designed for low noise.
Silence is not really a priority, I just don't want to be obnoxiously loud.
There's signs up in this library saying that it's not a quiet area, noise is ok and expected. There are people on the phone / video calls et cetera.
Please let those be red switches.
Gateron Reds
Good. So you aren't pissing off the entire library.
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.
I can't think that's so much pad
Cool to know I’m not the only one who has work-from-library days :-)
Yeah I'm actually trying to make it a regular Wednesday thing with a group of friends.
