7 points from safety. It's over. Even a win tomorrow just means we'll just be back to sqaure one being 4 behind. Last week was the killing blow.
Oh well expected our fate now.

Got to start winning soon, with United, Liverpool and Spurs to play in the last 5 games. Maybe after tomorrow though
Got to get to the last game with Palace and still be in with a shout to have a chance. Shaping up to be real tight at the bottom. Which is good for the neutral as the champions are already sorted
but obviously not good for the fans of the teams involved. I remember going down (30 years ago!), not nice at the time, but the following season was fun as we came back up as champions!

We're a small town club I think we can be proud we managed to punch above our weight for so long.
Hopefully we can at least have a good cup run to salvage the season maybe even win it!

So my keyboard decided it wants to retire soon. At least the space bar wants to. Finding a keyboard is a pain these days, since shops don't hold a terribly big selection and haptic is not something you particularly feel when browsing online.
After sinking in some hours, I am incresingly getting frustrated. Are my requirements that weird?
Not taking up much space, but the keys not too close to each other. (So basically not too much of a border). With multimedia keys (sound +/- start, stop, next, prev), a Num Key block, and prefarably also some office keys (basically just using the calculator key.) Reasonably soundless. And perhaps with soft keys, too, that you don't need to press too hard.
I thoooought I finally found just the thing:
https://www.amazon.de/Logitech-Mult...518373691&sr=1-1&keywords=logitech+920-008034
But just why in the world do they delegate the F1/F2/F3 keys onto an FN combination? This is such a killer, I really need an F2 directly.
Just damn it. Anybody got some ideas? .-.

Check out SteelSeries mechanical keyboards, a lot of them are no thrills, no nonsense, have a full keyset but in a fairly compact body

I have a SteelSeries 6gv2 which has none of that just laser etched cherry black keys, no lighting etc

Wow, I went on the Animax site for the first time in years.. Its almost solely supported by Anime Limited releases now it seems.
Viz deal seems totally gone leaving Shomin Sample, Tatami Galaxy and Trigun being the only non-Amime Limited titles

Is a mechanical keyboard a good idea if Luna wants quiet keys? I know there’s less clacky, easier press switches like the red ones, but simply by the amount of movement mechanical keys need to do they can be kinda noisy.

Oops that's a very good point. The blacks are very clacky (that's why I like them
) I can't imagine not using a mechanical keyboard myself, I really hate the membrane keyboards, they feel horrible and the ghosting can be an issue.
Yeah, mechanical's a bad idea if you want silence. I have Cherry Reds on my K70 and, while I love them, they're not quiet. I've been racking my brain for a good suitable keyboard to recommend instead, but I'm coming up short given my two are a K70 (which is loud both in audible clacking and its RGB lighting, although they do versions without that) or an Apple Magic Keyboard (wonderful keyboard, vastly expensive, doesn't work with Windows), I can't really recommend based on personal experience. Really, it sounds like @Luna just wants a modern version of the Microsoft Internet Keyboard from all those years back!

@Luna is there a German layout version of this one? It seems very similar to the one you linked but without the F1-F3 weirdness. It’s also smaller format (and considerably cheaper).
Edit: what the heck just happened with that link? I will try to fix that from my desktop as I can’t seem to from my phone. The model is a Logitech K360 though.

I have that keyboard & it's accompanying mouse (use them for sofa based stuff) it's an ok keyboard if you like your keys flat and featureless but I don't find it the most enjoyable for fast paced gaming (e.g. FPS). It has a fairly good tactile response from actually pressing down the keys, it does make a little noise though.
Edit: Worth mentioning I paid £15 for the keyboard.

Well this is odd.
I am not dead.
So I figured I would look in.
And not that much has changed.
I know too many of you. Which I am not sure is a good thing or a bad thing.
I am glad that the NEO refugees are thriving. But should I be?
Strange world. Crunchyroll. Amazon. Does anyone buy anime on DVD/Blu ray anymore?
I have decided. I am glad you are all still here. I salute your endurance. Especially Rui.

I do! I've bought some of the ones I've watched in the past few years, absolutely loved the quality blurays have, though I mainly stream the newer shows now. rarely happens like this though, but I did stream watamote and I bought it last year too (mainly to get the dub)
I was just thinking of putting a budget up for a bluray but I don't really know what to look for

... I hope that Microsoft one is a joke. These styled keyboards were quite the usability hell for me back in the days. (We still have a bunch in out basement I think. For horror nostalgia of sorts. *shivers*)
Well, I am using a mechanical one so far. (Or at least I think it's mechanical?)
At home it's this: https://www.amazon.de/Meta-Multimed...1518436003&sr=8-8&keywords=speedlink+tastatur
That's the one, that's dying on me right now. It has just the right extra keys and I like that they are put to the left and right. I have to press harder than would be awesome, but it's still acceptable. The sound is endurable, but it could certainly be a bit less noisy. Also, biggest issue I have with it, because the keys are so high it's a real pain to clean the keyboard. Everything just kinda gets stuck in there and I really really really dislike filthy keyboards. My finger's skin tend to get a lot of cracks and rips open rather regularly, nothing happens so far (except numerous tiny scars on them), but who knows how long my immune system will stay as steady as now.
Which is why I did not opt for just buying the same thing again.
(Well, I forgot to mention the thing about lower, easy to clean keys, but usually reasonably soundless means lower and soft keys anyway.... I think?) I'm at 400 keystrokes per minute typing speed, so all that clacking does add up to quite a bunch of noise. At home I usually drown it in music, but I doubt this is a good choice in the long run. (Especially, when you hear soundtracks and half of it goes mute under it, or you put it so loud, that you hear your speakers' noise, which definitely is not good for the ears.)
I used to have a Chiclet style keyboard with quite flat, but hard keys. It was a dream to clean, but a total nightmare for typing, because I had to press so hard and it was extremely noisy.
At work we use this:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-M...TF8&qid=1518436333&sr=1-2&keywords=dell+kb522
Also has multimedia keys, they aren't at left/right side, but if it were just the playing I probably should be able to get used to that. But the multimedia keys are noisy as hell. (And I use volume adjustment a real lot at home, so it's out.) The normal keys are a bit softer than my home one, so I have to press less hard, but they are about as noisy. They are also less high, so they are slightly (but just slightly) better for cleaning.
There is a German one, yes. But the language layout doesn't actually matter at all. I type without looking, so as long as the system language is German, it doesn't matter what it says on the keyboard, the OS will just treat it like any German QWERTZ Keyboard. I used to have a French AZERTY Sony Notebook, that wasn't any problem to use. Also typing Japanese, which assumes a QWERTY lookalike Japanese keyboard, I can't rely on what's written on the keyboard anyway. (Actually, I think Qwerty would be possibly more helpful. I still occasionally get some special signs wrong on the Japanese layout?)
I looked into the Logitech K360 and watched an unboxing video. At least in the video it sounded noisy as hell. And judging by the sound it has fairly hard keys...? Can you confirm that @serpantino ?
Well, sinking down even more time yesterday and today I am increasingly thinking the Logitech K780 would be just the perfect thing if it weren't for this total F keys absurdity (and them sharing the multimedia keys). Being able to use it to type on my Android Phone sounds like a nice tempting feature, too, when I'm just going to write an email. Since it's using wireless via Unify my PC wouldn't even need another wireless receiver because my Touchpad uses the same thing. That one was one that was in a shop, so i was able to try it. The sounds and feels were just great. So. Just. Damn it Logitech! Whoever had that weird design choice! But then, they also just discontinued my beloved Touchpad T650. I already stocked up three pieces for reserve because of that.
Somebody please put me out of this keyboard misery or get VR ready so could just type on a virtual keyboard that's in my head. ;____;

Yeah it is pretty loud for a membrane keyboard. Have you tried specifically looking for quiet keyboards?

Well, I'm getting back into anime slowly these days and whilst I remain jobless at present (and completely potless as a result), as soon as I get some money I will intend to buy anime on DVD as that it preferrable to me over digital downloads/streaming/whatever the kids do these days. ^^
