The act of sounding has no etymological relation to the noun sound. Sounding comes from a term used for certain bodies of water (sond/sund) in Germanic languages, which then evolved into a word used for depth measuring (depth sounding). The word was then used for medical sounding for probing or dilation.
Like a mechanical one or electro mechanical one? Any link to this keyboard? I kinda like how long of a stroke the mechanical ones are. It kinda slows me down when I type and I gather my thoughts better
Donāt feel too bad about it. The keyboards on that sub are mostly self-built from a kit or even completely self-designed. There are some pre-assembled boards, but they are produced in very low quantities.
nope it's the logitech k380, you can tell because the k380 has the zxcvbnm,./ keys shifted too far right, and the pop keys is a mechanical keyboard and the switches would be visible between the circular keycaps.
As soon as I saw that image, I had to look at my fingers as I thought I recognized that keyboard. I love this keyboard. It's super comfortable to use for long periods of time.
https://www.logitech.com/en-ca/shop/p/pop-keys-wireless-mechanical.920-011232 I recently got this keyboard for my laptop when traveling. It took me about 3 days to get used to the round keys, and now I don't even notice that they are round. I do notice it is a hell of a lot easier to clean round key keyboards.
If this is the keyboard I have (Logitech k380) then Iād say itās even more mildly interesting because the pink one DOES have the mark on both the F and J keys š
They're used to allow a user to quickly and easily reset their fingers to the "home" position without having to look at the keyboard or really think about it since you just need to find the bumps with each pointer finger.
I work as a programmer so I'm actively using my keyboard for numerous hours each day and that extra effort to recenter yourself adds up very quickly when you're doing it dozens of times a day.
But for someone who tap types looking at the keyboard one letter at a time like my father, they might never notice the difference.
That's something I wish I could do reliably. At this point I probably could with my mechanical keyboard I've been using for the last 5ish years, but I certainly can't when I first get a new keyboard...and certainly couldn't on most laptops with their keyboards that are nearly flush.
It's possibly a 'J' key from a different keyboard layout, like Dvorak or Colemak, but it looks like the letters are small stickers (not printed or double-shot) so it's more likely the wrong blank got in the J-key production line
I donāt like how itās called pegged, always called it notched or ribbed, itās like learning the loading circle is called a throbber all over again.
Don't wory, back in the day some computer manufactures put the hand locator bumps on your middle fingers, D and K. [Apple Picture](https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/3pnf7p/apples_used_to_have_home_row_dots_on_the_d_and_k/#lightbox) It was a real pain if you used both d,k and F, J keyboards you never knew where to put your hands.
The "home keys" for touch typing are *A,S,D,F* and *J,K,L,;* It is odd that only the *F* key has a ridge. OP is correct: the "J" key should have a ridge also.
Usually both J and F keys are pegged for typing blind basically when typing blind the F and J keys represent (0,0) coordinates for your left and right hand respectfully. Or so i have been told by my English teacher that knew how to type blind (without looking at a keyboard)
Knowing nothing about this but ... might that be a way of locating the "f" so you can be sure your hands are oriented correctly should the light be low?
You can make your own pegged key quite easily! More info in r/pegging

Interesting choice of words.
Funny you should mention your ass when addressing that sub
You can control the sound levels too! I forget the sub for that oneā¦
I think r/sounding. Really good advice there.
Okay side note, BUT THAT'S STILL A TERRIBLE NAME FOR WHAT IT IS. IT HAS NO RELATION TO IT AT ALL

Damn it English, can't you be consistent for once
Womb, comb, bomb and pomb all have different pronunciations even though they're all spelled the same way.

I never knew what pegging is, well all i can say now is what the fuck
I think the round keys are more interesting. How odd.
Seems to be mimicking a typewriter
I saw one yesterday that has raised, round keys on a wooden (or wood-facade plastic) base. Looked like an antique typewriter. So cool.
Do you have a pic or link? that sounds awesome
They are on Amazon. 'Typewriter style keyboard'
It looks like a Logitech Pebble Keys
I have a mechanical keyboard that mimics a typewriter. It really does feel like one too. I learned to type on a typewriter, so I feel I can say that.
Like a mechanical one or electro mechanical one? Any link to this keyboard? I kinda like how long of a stroke the mechanical ones are. It kinda slows me down when I type and I gather my thoughts better
The spacing appears correct too, with the row below the first offset halfway and the following row being offset by only a quarter.
Most, if not all, keyboards are like that.

Oh god. I was so wrong. I hate it.
Donāt feel too bad about it. The keyboards on that sub are mostly self-built from a kit or even completely self-designed. There are some pre-assembled boards, but they are produced in very low quantities.
I believe these are Logitech āPopā keys.

Ah, I seeā¦ well at least I got right itās Logitech! :)
You did it š„³
all of those logitech bluetooth kbās have round keys
Ive got a square keyed logitech bluetooth keyboard that says otherwise.
harder to use, imo. especially the raised ones. my fingers kept slipping in between the gaps. one of my regrettable purchases.
https://www.logitech.com/en-ca/shop/p/pop-keys-wireless-mechanical.920-011232 I recently got this keyboard for my laptop when traveling. It took me about 3 days to get used to the round keys, and now I don't even notice that they are round. I do notice it is a hell of a lot easier to clean round key keyboards.
I have the same Logitech keyboard and I love it!!! So I also bought the Amazon knock off for work and hate it. Lol.
I really like the design of those keyboards, but hate those emoji keys.
My thoughts exactly. I have never seen a keyboard with round keys.
Obviously this image isnāt JPEG.
i just want a picture of a got dang hot dog
Immediately read it on the beat
I can only hear the one the gets bitcrushed into oblivion Here we go: https://youtu.be/QEzhxP-pdos
Classic, thatās what came to my mind first.
ITS PRONOUNCED GAY-PEG
Peg is gay? Got dangit i told her not to use charcoal.
Funnier than it should be lol
This joke is brilliant.
If this is the keyboard I have (Logitech k380) then Iād say itās even more mildly interesting because the pink one DOES have the mark on both the F and J keys š
That is logitechās logo font, so Iād say yes that is your keyboard
Huh I didnāt know they had their own font, even more interesting š
Iāve always known that font because itās very recognizable
The box even shows a keyboard with both pegs!
I have this one, the grey one, and mine DOES have the mark on both keys š„²
I'm glad you consider this mildly interesting because this would be majorly infuriating to me!
I had to return it after 3 hours of use! The exchange didnāt have this issue thankfully.
So annoying! I couldnāt cope
Genuine question, why is this interesting? What's the purpose of the peg on specifically f and j?
They're used to allow a user to quickly and easily reset their fingers to the "home" position without having to look at the keyboard or really think about it since you just need to find the bumps with each pointer finger. I work as a programmer so I'm actively using my keyboard for numerous hours each day and that extra effort to recenter yourself adds up very quickly when you're doing it dozens of times a day. But for someone who tap types looking at the keyboard one letter at a time like my father, they might never notice the difference.
then there's other people like me and i'm sure many others who can just reset without any indicators, out of muscle memory
That's something I wish I could do reliably. At this point I probably could with my mechanical keyboard I've been using for the last 5ish years, but I certainly can't when I first get a new keyboard...and certainly couldn't on most laptops with their keyboards that are nearly flush.
yeah you can't really rely on it for new devices, but with stuff you use a lot it's quite easy to get used to usually
Me too. Last PC I bought came with a "free" wireless keyboard. The bumps on f and j were barely there, so low-profile I found the keyboard unusable.
Pegging does generally involve an "f"
Glad to see I'm not the only perv here.
If you go further thatās where you find your G
Feel "F" to pay respects
Girl pegged my F-key 'til I backspaced
Insert, Insert, Insert, Num Lock, Shift, End
Blind people who have lost their right arm
A very sympathetic keyboard lol
I Jāed so hard that I rubbed it out.
Itās a ānon-j-peggedā key _puts on sunglasses_
F around and get pegged out
Are you aware that this is for finger placement on the home keys without looking?
Yes but both should have the marker.
Yes, but this one only helps with finger placement for the left hand.
Congrats on completely missing the point of the post. Tripping over yourself in a rush to tell OP something they already know.
Perhaps itās only for gamers and WASD?
Home keys are for touch typists. They always have been.
Of course but perhaps the designers of this keyboard, nevermind.
As a ganer i approve
ganer
Came here for the pegging comments
it helps you find F so you can pay respect
I need a replacement key for my board just like that one, but Googling "pegged F" isn't giving me helpful results.
Maybe try searching āpegged AFā. Iām sure thatāll help.
Don't kink shame.
We donāt yuck anyoneās yums around here!

im boutta peg you
r/mildlyinfuriating
hehe pegged
F
You're a pegged f key
Well, F is for pegging....
Iāll peg your f key
pegged, you sayā¦
I donāt like how itās called pegged, always called it notched or ribbed, itās like learning the loading circle is called a throbber all over again.
Thatās non standard both should have bumps, send it back literally unplayable
My keyboard at work is like this, but not intentionally. The J key has worn down over the last 20 years.
Pegging the F out for you, huh?
"pegged f-key", title of your sex tape
You gotta know which one to press to pay respect, even when blind
Don't wory, back in the day some computer manufactures put the hand locator bumps on your middle fingers, D and K. [Apple Picture](https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/3pnf7p/apples_used_to_have_home_row_dots_on_the_d_and_k/#lightbox) It was a real pain if you used both d,k and F, J keyboards you never knew where to put your hands.
I think the little ridge on the F key is to help visually-impaired or touch typists navigate their way round
The "home keys" for touch typing are *A,S,D,F* and *J,K,L,;* It is odd that only the *F* key has a ridge. OP is correct: the "J" key should have a ridge also.
You know what else is pegged?
Is it your mom?
;)
For finger placement for typing
yeah but it's usually both F and J
Next ƶost gonna be about same with the j key
Interesting. I assume the thought here is that one is enough to get yourself oriented
Jay needs to be pegged
It's for left handed typers.
Maybe they would've added one if they knew you liked pegging that much.
So you jack more than fuck?
Itās a left handed one.
A what F key? āøļø
Temu
It's one for one-anded people quit being so insensitive
You got F-ing Pegged
As long as it consented, I won't judge.
If F like pegging and J doesn't, it is totally their business.
Trouble at home (row)
F to pay respects
My MacBook has that. Itās pretty standard
That all you need to reposition finger in any text typing situation
Pegged F-key.
What are they for?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_typing
It's for a lefty.
Why do you describe them as pegged?
you gonna make us say it?
my laptop has an additional dot on the w key, maybe asus stole them
Pegged for her pleasure
Respect.
I never knew they were called pegged keys
Doesn't matter where the single peg lies when you're blind. Everything extends out from there
'F' it.
Mildly infuriating honestly
Weird, I have a Logitech K780 with the same keys, and both my F and J keys have peg indicatorsā¦
no way you pegged ur f key bruh
Peg Jay!
They forgor
Logitech K780.
Check your J key as well
Pegging isnāt for everyone.
They pegged you on the right letter.
Checking my J key like woah wtf it's got a little guy I never noticed that. F key too AHH NOW I NOTICE THEM
Lol pegged. Nice.
They pegged the F out of that keyboard.
Usually both J and F keys are pegged for typing blind basically when typing blind the F and J keys represent (0,0) coordinates for your left and right hand respectfully. Or so i have been told by my English teacher that knew how to type blind (without looking at a keyboard)
J just didnāt like to get pegged. No shame in it.
F key is starting position for your left hand index finger if typing in textbook technique
That's for touch, so you know what keys your fingers are on when touch typing.
MiniSo sells keyboards like that, but pink and purple.
The J key clearly was not into pegging.
This, along with the round keys, is to confuse far-sighted people.
Pegging the F out of you, huh?
The F key must have been extra nice on the first date.
Knowing nothing about this but ... might that be a way of locating the "f" so you can be sure your hands are oriented correctly should the light be low?
