"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.

"Keychron is praised for its thoccy sound, whereas Yamaha is well regarded for its melodic key sounds"

Some Reddit users suggests Golden Gate is a good choice

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.

Well, apparently you can extend Emacs to have it:

Emaccordion

Control your Emacs with an accordion — or any MIDI instrument!
[...]
You can e.g. plug in a MIDI pedalboard (like one in a church organ) for modifier keys (ctrl, alt, shift); or you can define chords to trigger complex commands or macros.
[...]
The idea for the whole thing came from [dead link]. I immediately became totally convinced that a full-size chromatic button accordion with its 120 bass keys and around 64 treble keys would be the epitome of an input device for Emacs.

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!
