Show your space bar!

[Mr. S]

Most people tend to leave their thumb at the very spot on their space bar. All the time and it's thus easy to spot where.

So let's see your space bar.

Here's my keyboard, the one I'm using at work.

Is there a dent on the space bar? Or is it just the lighting? If there is, your thumb is strong!



My space bar is currently on a laptop, and that is what I always used. Can't post a pic up right now though.

His thumbs have worn the texture off of the space bar from resting on it so much.


It happens on laptops too, where people lay their palms.

My laptop has the mark in exactly the same place as yours. Accept my keyboard also has a dent in it where my dad got annoyed with the trackpad on it and decided to punch it :S .

Oh. I can see the same on mines as well. Just a bit more subtle in light.

Courtesy of a touchpad, my thumb doesn't rest on the space bar.

I don't think it does when I'm at a keyboard, to be honest...

But you can clearly see where my index finger has worn it away.

Yes, I was looking at this thread while taking the picture!

A lot of the times I'm so lazy I just use the on-screen keyboard, so my space bar isn't that bad.

As a gamer you would think that my space bar has lot of wear but it doesn't that honor belongs to the arrow keys, enter and crtl.

I do not use WASD for gaming but the arrow keys and enter for jump.

Damn that looks gross..

My keyboard is fairly new so it doesn't really have any sign of wear on it really.

You think that looks gross!? Just wait to see my keyboard. It's like a million years old. Makes more noise than a Zonda R, and is like a cream white colour with dirt marks over it! It's a horrid thing! Pics up soon.

I am using my laptop keyboard for the first time. It's usually hooked up to the projector and I use a wireless keyboard with it, so mine is pretty new looking.

My work keyboard, though, is more than battered from days spent on GTP.

This keyboard is 3 years old or so, maybe even older.

I cant just pull the keys off like I could on my old tarantula which were more like normal desktop keys and they also had a tool to remove them,

These keys are more like laptop and can't be removed so easily.

Going to get this replaced soon as at times keys just stop working and won't work until I disconnect and reconnect.

It is a keyboard controller issue.

You can't see the grime on the number keys from here. Though the Space bar, and almost everywhere else... ... ...

That keyboard looks like it's from the 90's.

I think it is. It's from the first PC that we ever had.

 

[Daniel]

I love the sound they make compared to the newer keyboards that come with computers now.
@Alex Is it a USB input or PS/2 (I think that's what it's called - the not-USB plug).

I would assumed being from the 90s it may even be a DIN 5 connection but the fact that he is using it says otherwise as DIN5 died out during the mid 90s.

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

My 90s keyboard has a DIN5 connector. No, I'm not a hipster, it just hasn't broke yet for me to bother to buy a new one.

Does your PC even have a DIN5 connector?

Mine's too dirty to show.

Well, I just checked and it has 6 things, not 5. My bad. They look the same.
