"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I once searched "best workstation keyboard" and happened to glance at the summary, and it legitimately was trying to compare mechanical typing keyboards like Nuphy and Keychron, with music keyboards like Yamaha's Montage and Roland's Fantom. Which, NGL, was pretty entertaining.
Music keyboards do have that sweet n-key rollover. So, there's probably some Emacs users playing their editor like a piano.
There's that old legend about the Symbolics Lisp Machine keyboards which had, like, a bazillion modifiers (and were a big influence on Emacs). Someone suggested that they would eventually run out space to put in more shift keys, so they'd have to introduce pedals. I suppose organ stops would also work.
Do Emacs have midi input?
Well, apparently you can extend Emacs to have it:

"Keychron is praised for its thoccy sound, whereas Yamaha is well regarded for its melodic key sounds"
"One Reddit user suggests: 'go kill yourself'"
Some Reddit users suggests Golden Gate is a good choice
Well the Keychrons are more customizable than a Yamaha. I bet you can't even swap the switches on the Montage.
Yeah, and don't even get me started on the price!
