Introduction: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common lethal genetic disorder. The aim of this study was to determine the common chest radiograph (CXR) patterns in adult CF, and correlate disease distribution on CXRs with genotype, age, and gender.
Methods: One hundred nine CF patients treated at Baylor Adult Cystic Fibrosis Center were identified. The intake CXR was reviewed and characterized as diffuse bilateral (DB), unilateral, upper lobe (UL), and lower lobe (LL) disease, or relatively normal. Lack of intake CXR, and/or genotype excluded 41 patients from analysis.
Results: Of 68 patients, 38 were homozygous for ΔF508 and 30 were heterozygous. Mean age of the population was 30 ± 8 years (± SD) [range, 18 to 48 years]. The most common CXR pattern was DB; 62% had DB, 28% had UL, and 7% had LL predominance. This is in contrast to the UL-predominant CXR pattern commonly described in the pediatric population. In 18 DB patients, archived pediatric films were available, and the average patient age was 15.7 years. DB pattern was present in 16 of 18 CXRs that antedated adult intake CXRs by an average of 12.7 years. Homozygous ΔF508 genotype was identified in 56% of patients and did not distinguish radiologic phenotypes. There was no association between radiograph pattern and identified infecting/colonizing organisms and percentage of predicted FEV1.
Conclusions: CF has commonly been reported as an UL disease. However, in this study of adult patients, the common pattern observed was DB. A small subgroup analysis suggests that DB disease was not a pattern of disease evolution but may be present from disease onset.

A real man isn't just a smooth talker or a guy who tries to fit in.
He's someone who's always looked up to with awe and respect.
And yes, he definitely knows his way around women too.
There are far too many guys out there who just exist or constantly worry about ways to be admired and loved.
But for a few real men, getting attention and the respect they deserve comes naturally.
Ever met a guy who makes you feel like less of a man?
You don't need to behave like an alpha male or someone dominating to be a true man in the real sense.
You just need to become a better you and a man in all its masculine definition.
How to be a man
A real man isn't skin deep. Real men are created on the inside, and only accessorized on the outside.
If you truly want to be a real man who's respected as a fine gentleman, here are 15 traits of a true man that you need to blend into your own persona.
It's not something that can be changed in a day, but all you need is a start to go the right way to becoming a man who's everything he really should be.
#1 Have your principles. This is about who you are. Do you have principles in life? Have you created a few rules and code of ethics that you believe in? A man of principles is a guy who clearly defines his belief into right and wrong and sticks to it.
Could you ever con someone for money? Would you ever have sex with a girl if she was too drunk to notice? You get the idea, right? A man of principles is a guy who has a firm code of conduct. It's not set in stone as life is ever changing, but he's well connected to his conscience to differentiate right and wrong. [Read: 12 tips to be perfect in everything you do]
#2 The same rules apply to him. Most people in the world don't even realize this rule. A real man follows the universal rule that he applies to others and to himself. If he expects someone to apologize because they were late, he should do the same when he's late too. If he wants his woman to avoid looking at other men, he should avoid looking at other women too. A real man is not biased, nor does he set different rules for himself and others.
#3 His word is his word. When a man makes a promise, he stands by it no matter what. Most people may not understand this logic, but unless there's no way he can keep his word, he does everything he can to hold on to the promise he's made.
#4 A real man is chivalrous. A real man knows how to behave with a woman. He treats his wife or girlfriend with love and affection, and always behaves chivalrously towards her. He's her pillar and caters to her needs and wants. [Read: A man's code of modern chivalry]
#5 Respect and humility. A real man is humble and gracious. But yet, he carries an aura of authority that's confident and decisive. He always respects everyone around him unless their behavior calls for rude reciprocation. He is courteous towards women of all ages and will never ill treat them or make them feel insulted.
#6 A real man has dreams. Pursue your dreams and aspirations with passion and hard work. A real man is dedicated to his dreams, but at the same time he doesn't neglect the promises he's made to the one he loves. No matter how occupied he is, he still makes time for the ones that he loves.
#7 Sophisticated and well dressed. A real man isn't addicted to cosmetics, but he knows to clean and groom himself. He's well dressed and pays attention to his attire. And if you want to be a real man, dab those manly fragrances that make you feel and appear more masculine.
#8 He's aware of his world. A real man is not ignorant. He's aware of everything around him and he keeps track of current affairs that matter to him. He's intelligent, a man of the world and one who can be trusted to give good advice when he's asked for it. [Read: 10 types of friends you need to avoid in your life]
#9 The man is well mannered. You can be cold hearted when you have to, but be generous and giving when you see someone who's genuinely needy. If you don't owe anything to anyone, you're not obligated to help someone for no reason. A real man helps those in need, but not when they can help themselves.
#10 Be determined. A real man is determined. He's passionate and loyal to his dreams and aspirations. He doesn't pussyfoot around problems or hurdles. He plans his moves and executes his ideas with confidence and determination. [Read: How to be successful in life]
#11 He walks tall. A real man doesn't hunch or lurk around like a thief. He makes his presence felt and walks with grace and confidence. He respects himself and feels no need to appear meek or weak in front of another person.
#12 A real man is not sneaky. Don't be vague or sneaky in your communication or your behavior. A real man calls a spade a spade and is always straightforward and truthful, unless he sees a need to hide the truth. He doesn't shift his feet in discomfort or make stories up to cover his incompetence.
#13 He's in control. Be in control of your own life. Stay calm and composed even when things are slipping out of your hands. A real man knows that panic and stress will only make him less efficient. He plans, makes decisions and focuses on the consequences of his actions in a calm and composed state of mind.
#14 A real man knows his priorities. Do you know what matters most to you? And do you know what really should matter most? Most men are confused about the real priorities in their life. Family and loved ones come before self indulgence in worldly pleasures. [Read: 10 important traits of a good boyfriend]
#15 A real man accepts his faults. Be willing to accept your faults, and don't repeat them again. A real man doesn't put the blame on someone else if it's his own fault. He acknowledges his mistakes and vows not to repeat them again. He understands that accepting faults or defeats don't make him weaker. It only makes him more resolute and determined.
How to look like a man and behave like a real man
Want to feel more like a real man overnight? Try these five tips to appear more like a real man and intimidate others around you at the same time.
#1 Don't giggle. You have nothing to feel awkward about. If you think it's funny, it probably is, so laugh out loud. If it's not too funny, just smirk or smile from one corner of your lip. [Read: 25 things that turn a girl on sexually and otherwise about a guy]
#2 Grow a mustache. If that doesn't prove you're a man, what does?
#3 Have whiskey or scotch on the rocks. It's a man's drink, especially if you like your drink neat or with just a couple of ice cubes.
#4 Have an intense eye contact. Real men aren't afraid of eye contact. A strong eye contact makes you seem more manly and in control.
#5 Don't indulge in idle talk that befits the conversation of children. Silence in the conversation is perfectly acceptable for a man.
[Read: 15 things women look for in a man to fall for him]
Being a real man isn't as easy as most men think. If you want to be one, keep these 15 principles on how to be a man in mind and live by these rules. Before long, you'll be respected and loved for the real man that you are.

Pingback: 15 Reasons Why Nice Guys Finish Last All the Time - Lovepanky()
Well, just speaking from my own experience, these are all desirable traits in my book except that I don't really care what you drink, mustaches can make kissing (and other things, lol) unpleasant, constant intense eye contact can be creepy sometimes, and sometimes a guy needs to initiate some fluff talk; silence can be awkward and uncomfortable. Just my 2 cents 🙂
Was this article written by a man who thinks he is a 'real man' but actually isn't? Most men have a lot of these traits but definitely NO man has them all, or to the degree mentioned above!
Adopt a more realistic image of men, not this Hollywood hogwash. While some of these points are true and valid, no man is like this for real. Maybe in his own head he is, but get to know him and you will see the truth!
Its a great advice. Although there is no true definition of a "real" man. From my observation, men I do admire have these xteristics and lots more. And also temperament adds a new twist to a personality.
Most of all,a real man isn't afraid to lead,makes decisions and take responsabily for them.
I have run into a lot of guys in life who are all ego and have no self respect; I've also run into guys who have no ego and lots of self respect. Yes. You heard me correctly. A guy with very small goals in life can reach them and feel like the biggest ego on the planet and be cocky to boot. The guy with huge goals in life, one's that are very difficult to attain, can have a very small ego, maybe little of an ego at all, in view of the challenge of reaching his goal. It is not always a tremendous ego that struggles against tremendous odds. And sometimes, you run into people who feel like they are the world's ultimate bad ass, and it is all owing to the fact that they have reached a very high score on a video game. Do you get the point?
Isn't this really stereotypic ? I mean, I'm pretty sure there are so many people out there who have none of these supposed 'manly' characteristics, but still are very alpha. Well dressed? Really ? Being clean and healthy is essential,IMO , but grooming… I dunno.
I'd say this is what the average girl wants… But I doubt this would really matter ? I've known girls to choose slouching lying sneaks over respected confident gentlemen.
It's like saying the average guy likes big boobs, so go get yourself a boob job. That's bull, small boobs and all boobs for that matter are awesome. 🙂
Similarly just coz the average girl likes a well dressed dude, that doesn't mean that guys with messy styles or such, don't have their charm.
My opinion. I found this article lacking in convincing content.

This is even more pronounced in mathematics, science and especially in print reading. • Parents and teachers should both encourage students to use computers freely, so that they can improve their navigation skills, and also to provide guidance on balancing time spent using computers with time for other activities.

Dane stares at her sympathetically while Falcon hold her up. "You sure you've had enough rest?" Falcon asks again.
Eternal nods. "I can transport about three people out you know" she says muffled then shifts to outside the door. She puts her hand to the lock and as she pulls down the handle the lock clicks.
Falcon and all the other steps out. Eternal pulls down the scarf. "The exit will most likely be north" She says then quickly pulls the scarf back up as she begins to cough.
"Shit" She mutter looking at the liquid she coughed up. "We need to move now"
The quickly run down the corridors. Eternal idicates left and they run into the room just in time to avoid some elf soldiers.
They get back out and reach the throne hall. They freeze hiding up against the wall. "What are you going to do with the My Lady?" an elf asks.
"Don't worry, in about ten minutes they'll all be dead and we will have Eternal" Eternity annouces. Eternal shivers.
Ten minutes. "Lets go" She hisses and she lead them back and away.
"You wont turn" Falcon whispers in her ear. She nods but she doesn't believe it cause shes now coughing up black fluid.
No one else knows this and shes starting to get scared.

Successfully negotiating the relationship between winery and customer isn't easy, W. Blake Gray discovers.
In 2014, he sold the company to Argentine billionaire Alejandro Bulgheroni. "It just felt like time" to sell, Pope said. "It was either that go to the bank and borrow money to expand. I sold him a nice company with zero debt and great track record."
"I remember looking out over the Nebbiolo and saying, 'I'll graft all of you,'" says grower Stephy Terrizzi of the notoriously stubborn Italian grapevines, these ones with fruit destined for her Giornata wines.
Every wine region needs its star properties. Not, of course, to dominate, but to draw attention to what can be done, to open up distant markets, and to inspire and encourage smaller and newer competitors

I couldn't agree more !
When you truly love someone with all your heart she needs to know just how special she is in your world every minute of every day …. and just how happy you are because of her being in your life.
She needs to know without a doubt that, for you, she is the most amazing woman on Earth and that your love for her is forever and always … not just in the good times and the fun times.
For me, this woman's name is Leigh Goodwin … I adore her and my priority for my remaining days on this planet is her happiness !!!
Greetings from Los angeles! I am bored at work so I decided to check out your site on my iphone during lunch break.

Man accused of cleaning out mom's bank account
by: Tom Jones Updated:
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - Police arrested a man after his disabled mother said he wiped out her bank account.
Anthony Williams, 51, was charged with exploitation of the elderly and disabled. He is being held at the DeKalb County Jail. Williams' partially blind mother said that's where he needs to be after he left her broke and wondering how she's going to eat and pay her rent.
"For him to be my own child to do his momma like that," Arnita Williams told Channel 2's Tom Jones.
The 71-year-old woman said she has nothing left in her bank account.
"Everything I had in the bank, he got it all," she said from her home near Decatur, where she gets around in a wheelchair.
The elder Williams said her troubles began when she ordered a new bank card. She said when it came in the mail, her son took it.
"He tricked me. He said my Social Security number fell on Cash 4," she said.
Arnita Williams said her son asked her for the last four digits of her Social Security number to verify she had won the lottery. She said he used the four digits to activate her new bank card. Then, she said he took all $1,300 from her account.
Now, she's concerned about how she will eat and pay her rent.
DeKalb County police have charged her son in the case, along with two others. He's also accused of stealing the identities of two adults and a child. Williams said her son is a drug user and that he needs to be locked up, but he also needs help.
"Anybody (who would) take from their own momma, they need help," she said.
Williams said the bank won't replace the money until it finishes its investigation.
She said she won't have any money until her Social Security check arrives next month.

Robins made 44 saves, pulling off a string of stunning stops before finally being beaten with 10 minutes left as London lost 1-0 to hosts Zurich Lions.
Robins was named the tournament's top goaltender when helping Knights become the first British team to qualify for a European cup final in Norway last November.
Coach Chris McSorley again singled out Robins, who set a Sekonda Superleague single season record of five shutouts during London's 3-0 win over Newcastle Jesters on Tuesday, as the key to his side's fate in the pre-tournament build up.
He again failed to disappoint and seemed set to hold the Lions goalless until Patrick Lebeau grabbed the game winning goal.
Opposite number Ari Sulander complemented Robins' display with a solid show himself, earning a 29-save shutout.
The win put Zurich top of the group after the first round of matches with Slovan Bratislava and Munich Barons drawing 2-2 earlier in the day.
London will now be looking to give their final match against Munich on Sunday some meaning when they face Bratislava tomorrow night.Reuse content

The Firebird
Callie and her brother, Michael, have a secret. They are fighting in a war that has raged since the beginning of time. It is the most basic war of all. Good vs. evil. But the lines become blurred as Callie finds herself wanting to help save the world, while also needing to stay loyal to an old friend, no matter how evil he has become.
It came with wings as black as night. Cold, unfeeling darkness rolled off it in waves of fury. The day had surrendered it's all seeing eye to the black mist. It's body had no form. It was nothing but twisting smoke changing from the shape of a man to the shape of a beast. This hellish being had come to the Earth for one purpose alone. The shadow did not feel love, or kindess, or generosity. All it knew was hate, anger, and despair. It did more than feel it. It relished in it. The death of all that is living gave it great joy. Their screams were like an intoxicating drug. After having a taste, it only wanted more.
Beyond the horizon, a light began to shine. It was too faint to be identified, but burned as bright as the sun. It's glow grew slighty, barely illuminating the destruction. It was as if it were a dream. A faint promise of waking in the horible nightmare.
Suddenly, the light blazed in white flames directly in front of the beast. A shape stood in the light, but it could not be seen because of the brightness sronger than the sun. Two slim hands came out of the light and pressed together. When the hands opened, they released a ray of power that struck the creatures heart.
It howled in pain, a sound that shook the earth. Then it collapsed into the mountain, along with it's minions. The short mountain grew taller than the sky, stretching to a never-ending height, the prison for the shadow.
Then the white light disappeared, and after a brief moment of complete silence, the world was back to the way it had always been.
* * *
Callie turned at the sound of her name being called. A shadow decided to take advantage of the destraction. It charged her from behind, it's black sword held high above it's head. It screamed in triumph and brought the sword down.
At the last possible moment, Callie unsheathed her sword and thrust it behind her. The sword went straight trough the shadow's stomach. It let out a gurgle of something foul, then disolved into dust. Callie didn't even spare it a glance.
"What do you want, Michael? I'm kinda busy right now!"
"Callie, look!" Michael pointed to something in the sky. Her gaze followed his finger to a solitary storm cloud. Upon the cloud was a boy. He had pale skin and dark brown hair. He held a black sword in his left hand and was dressed in full body armour. Callie couldn't see his eyes, but she knew they were black.
"Fioundt." She spat. Fioundt smiled at her then jumped from his cloud. The jump had to be at least a thousand feet. That didn't bother him though. He landed on the ground with easy grace. If a human tried that, they would have broken every bone in their legs.
"Hey, Cal. Long time, no see."
"Don't talk to me, you filth." She said. Fioundt mocked hurt.
"Filth? I thought I was your friend?"
"We were never friends. You were just using me."
"True. It was lots of fun messing with you."
Callie drew out her sword again and pointed it at Fioundt. The silver blade gleamed wickedly. Callie could see the symbol of the phoenix start to glow. She knew her eyes were turning red as the power entered her body. Fioundt looked at her and laughed. All other shadows (and humans) wanted to get away as far as they could when her eyes went red. Fioundt would just laugh at her and say stuff like "the littlle birdies getting cranky".
"Fight me, you coward. Or are you afraid I'll win?"
"Come on, Cal. We've been through this. We both now you can't kill me. You had your chance, remember?"
Callie didn't want to, but her mind flashed back to that day six months ago. She'd been so close. Fioundt had been defenseless. She'd held her sword right above his heart. For the first time, his eyes showed true fear. It had given her great satisfaction.
All she had to do was drive the sword into his chest, and it would all be over. She'd lifted the sword up. He'd closed his eyes, ready to meet his doom. It never came. She hadn't been able to do it. No matter how many times she told herself she could, she couldn't. The boy she saw kneeling on the floor that day hadn't been a shadow. It was her old friend Frederick she saw. She'd remembered the time he'd gone by that name. He'd been her best friend. No one had been closer, not even her brother. His betrayel had been worse than any torture imaginable. It had killed her inside.
Callie blinked back tears. She would not cry. Frederick didn't exist anymore.This thing in front of her was nothing more than a souless shadow.
"If you think you can do it, go ahead. I won't fight back. I won't try to stop you. Kill me."
Callie looked at Fioundt. Not in anger, or fear, just looked. He was right. Callie couldn't kill him. It didn't matter if he slaughtered a thousand innocent people, or turned all the drinking water to poison. Callie could never hurt him. To her, he was still Frederick. And she would never hurt Frederick.
"That's what I thought." He didn't sound triumphant or angry. He sounded disappointed. It was almost like he'd wanted her to kill him.
He let out a sigh and turned around. For a moment, he looked back over his shoulder at the broken girl behind him. His black eyes seemd to deepen in an emotion she could not place. If she didn't know any better, she would have thought he was sorry. Then he turned his head and ran away from her.
The shadows followed their master out of the battle. Soon, all that remained were the surviving humans and dead bodies. And one sorrow filled girl.
She fell to her knees and watched the receding army go, along with her childhood best friend. And for the first time in fifteen years, she cried. Cried until the morning came and there were no more tears left to shed.

Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
April 2000
BeschreibungIn his sixth book of poems, Alan Shapiro once again shows that he is a master at articulating the secrets of the heart. "The Dead Alive and Busy" deals with issues of personal identity as revealed through examining the intimate bonds of family life. The poems explore these familial relations in terms of the religious, social, and literary contexts that inform them, delving into such universal themes as human frailty, illness and death, bereavement, and thwarted desires. By turns lyrical and narrative, slangy and elevated, analytical and visionary, this collection showcases one of America's most important poets in his top form. Praise for Alan Shapiro: "Shapiro is a shrewd and sympathetic moralist. He never trivializes his subjects with high-minded flourishes or stylistic gimmicks."--J. D. McClatchy, "New York Times Book Review"
PortraitAlan Shapiro teaches poetry and creative writing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is the author of a collection of essays, "In Praise of the Impure: Poetry and the Ethical Imagination" (1993), and four previous books of poetry, including the award-winning "Happy Hour" (1987).

Is picking up Bloody's B820R gaming keyboard a bright idea?
Subject: General Tech | March 27, 2017 - 01:32 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: bloody, B820R Light Strike RGB Animation, gaming keyboard, input, LK Optic Switch
We have seen a handful of Bloody keyboards on the market, with their unique take on switches. They use an LK Optic Switch as opposed to a mechanical switch, it detects keypresses when an photosensors detect an interruption in the beam emanating from the infrared LEDs within the keyboard. The other difference in the design comes from the RGB feature, instead of being integral to the key they are actually installed in the body of the keyboard. Benchmark Reviews have become somewhat expert at Bloody keyboards, check out what they thought of this model in their full review.
"In this article for Benchmark Reviews, we'll take a closer look at the Bloody B820R Light Strike RGB Animation Gaming Keyboard, and determine if this latest offering has what it takes to set itself apart from the rest of the mechanical keyboard market."

Mass Production for the Wooting One Analog Keyboard
Subject: Cases and Cooling | March 18, 2017 - 01:39 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: keyboard, gaming keyboard
About nine months ago, we reported on the Wooting One Analog Keyboard. At the time, they were expecting to ship the keyboard in November, but that has apparently slipped. Of course, creating products is difficult, and even the big companies have production issues (the difference with crowd-funding is that these issues are publicly obvious). They are expecting to start shipping in April.
The hook with this keyboard is that doesn't just know whether a key is up or down, but how far it is. This can be mapped into the driver as an XInput device, emulating an axis rather than a button. This is actually where today's issue arises: a batch of keyboards fail to register the full range of motion, and, thus, QA. They released a video, embed above, to explain the issue, and complain about small pizzas?
Mate, those optical switches are Bloody loud on that B840 keyboard of yours!

Tagged: bloody, B840, gaming keyboard, input, A4Tech
The Bloody B840 is a bit of a chimera, having optical switches which incorporate a metal knob in each key to produce a click when a button is fully depressed like a mechanical keyboards keys. Their LK Sound Creator Tech makes the keys similar to Cherry Blue in terms of travel distance and actuation force, but the actual keystroke is registered with the infrared beam that comprises the optical switch. TechPowerUp is working on proper testing for keyboard response times, the tests they tried showed that the optical technology on the Bloody keyboard is technically faster to register a keypress, but not so much that they noticed it during use. You can see their full review here.
"Bloody is a new gaming peripherals brand A4Tech recently introduced. Today, we take a look at their new B840 keyboard with the new optical Bloody LK2 switch. It promises a long lifespan, extremely fast response times, and a clicky response, which is new for optical switches."

Tagged: AiZO, MGK L80, Kailh, gaming keyboard, input
The supply of mechanical keyboards continues to grow, once Cherry MX was the only supplier of switches and only a few companies sold the products. Now we have choice in manufacturer as well as the switch type we want, beyond the choice of Red, Brown, Blue and so on. AiZO chose to use Kailh switches in their MGK L80 lineup, your choice of click type and also included a wrist rest for those who desire such a thing. Modders Inc tested out the three models on offer, they are a bit expensive but do offer a solid solution for your mechanical keyboard desires.
"The MGK L80 series is the latest line of gaming keyboards manufactured by AZIO. Available in red, blue or RGB backlighting, the MGK L80 offers mechanical gaming comfort with a choice of either Kailh brown or blue switch mounted on an elegant brushed aluminum surface."

"The MasterKeys Pro White utilizes the on board memory and processor for its advanced On-the-fly System. LED lighting modes, repeat rate adjustment, multimedia keys, macro recording, combined with four profile keys, enable you to control all aspects of the keyboard right at your fingertips."
The Pro L and Pro M are available with Cherry MX Brown, Blue, and Red switches. The USB 2.0-connected keyboard offer a 1000 Hz polling rate, and 1 ms response time.
Full press release after the break.
Computex 2016: Wooting One Analog Keyboard
Subject: Cases and Cooling, Systems | June 4, 2016 - 05:39 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: gaming keyboard
Wooting, a start-up that is currently running an already-funded Kickstarter, is looking to produce a keyboard with analog inputs. This is not exactly an entirely-new concept. Ben Heck created one back in 2012 by modifying the WASD cluster to include Hall Effect sensors, which were attached to the guts of an Xbox 360 controller to signal thumbstick offsets. The further you press the key, the more intense of an input would be sent to the PC.
The Wooting One, which, again, is a Kickstarter campaign, does it a bit more... professionally. The keyboard uses the "Flaretech" switch, which I've never heard of before now, from Taiwanese manufacturer Adomax. Unlike Ben Heck's Hall Effect sensors, this one measures offset with light sensing. This raises a petty, pedantic argument about whether it's technically a mechanical keyboard, since the activation isn't performed by a direct, mechanical process, but users typically equate "mechanical keyboard" with its quality and feel, which could be achieved with non-mechanical processes. Semantics aside, the light-sensing mechanism allows precise measurement of how far down the key is. From there, it's just a matter of mapping that distance to an input.
This is where the Wooting One looks quite interesting. The firmware and driver will communicate under XInput and apparently other Gamepad APIs, functioning under most games that allow simultaneous gamepad + keyboard input for a single player. They are also expecting to create an open-source system, with an API, that allows games to access the analog input of apparently all keys on the board. This is interesting, because XInput has fairly restrictive limitations of about six axises of analog input (although the two axises corresponding to the triggers are lower precision and, with the Xbox One controller, joined into a single axis). A new API can circumvent all of this for gaming going forward, and it will be required for analog keyboards to get off the ground. It's not a difficult task itself, as there is quite a bit of bandwidth in external IO connections these days, but getting and entire industry's worth of vendors to agree could be a task (unless you're, like, Microsoft). Hopefully it's open, with a permissive license, and a few, big-name engine vendors add support to push it forward.
And, let's be honest -- XInput is limiting. A new API could be good for obscure gamepads, too.
Outside of analog gaming, they are also milking this "know how far down the key is" feature as much as they can. For instance, they are also allowing users to choose the activation distance in digital mode. Users can set their balance between rejecting partial presses and speed of input based on their ability to touch type.
It's a European Kickstarter, and the lowest backer tier that includes the keyboard ships in November and is worth 100 Euro, ~$115 USD. which apparently includes tax and shipping for North America and Europe. That doesn't correlate to a retail price, if the product even gets off the ground, but it's a data point however reliable. Tax-in and free shipping sounds a bit... sketchy for a crowdfunding campaign... but that could just be a sign that they're more affiliated with an existing company (and its supply chain) than they're letting on, rather than business naivety.
G.Skill has a different take on Cherry MX RGB, check out the Ripjaws KM780R
Subject: General Tech | May 12, 2016 - 03:40 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: input, G.Skill, Ripjaws KM780R, gaming keyboard, Cherry MX, cherry mx rgb
G.Skill have joined the ranks of those who have released a Cherry MX RGB keyboard, you can choose between Red, Brown and Blue switches to accompany the light show. They chose an interesting set of caps, which float above the keyboard allowing more backlighting to show through but The Tech Report noticed that the caps feel like they are rubbing against something. As the caps are replaceable this can be resolved if you do find it to be an issue, but you will lose some light and the keyboard will not be as easy to clean. In addition to having audio jacks and a USB pass-through the optional software allows an immense amount of control over your lighting. Drop by and see if this keyboard meets your needs.
"Established RAM manufacturer G.Skill is branching into gaming peripherals of late. We've already examined the company's Ripjaws MX780 gaming mouse, and now we're looking at the KM780R gaming keyboard. Join us as we see whether this keyboard has what it takes to be a contender in the crowded gaming peripherals market."

Tagged: orion 610, mechanical keyboard, logitech g, logitech, gaming keyboard, cherry mx red, cherry mx brown
Logitech has announced a pair of new mechanical keyboards today, with the Orion 610 Brown and Red. Those familiar with mechanical keyboards will probably guess from their names that these are using Cherry MXswitches, with the MX Brown and MX Red switches in the respective models.
The keyboards also offer customizable LED backlighting, and while they are not RGB (these keyboards are white LED backlit), each individually-backlit key can be customized with different brightness levels. There are also options to change the lighting patterns and synchronize with other Logitech G products using the Logitech Gaming Software.
Here are the specs from Logitech G:
Product Specifications
- Dimensions (L x W x H): 153 mm x 443.5 mm x 34.3 mm
- Weight: 1.2 Kg (without cable)
- Cable length: 6 feet
- Cherry MX Key Switches:
- Actuation distance: 2mm
- Actuation force: 45g
- Total travel distance: 4mm
System Requirements
- Optional LGS download works with Windows 7 and higher
- Powered USB port
- Internet connection for optional LGS download
- 2-year limited hardware warranty
Macro functionality is available via customization of the F1 - F12 keys, and the keyboards feature dedicated media controls as you would expect. So how much will these cost? Retail for the Orion 610 Brown and Red will be $119.99.
Survey Results on Mechanical Keyboard Preferences Released
Subject: General Tech | February 23, 2016 - 11:00 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: survey, mechanical keyboard, Go Mechanical Keyboard, gaming keyboard, Cherry MX
Keyboard enthusiast site Go Mechanical Keyboard recently conducted a reader survey to determine what their readers preferred in a mechanical keyboard, and the results (from 950 responses) provided some interesting data.
The data (which the site has made available in its raw format here) includes results from favorite key switch to preferred form-factor, as well as brand and model preferences. The site created an impressive infographic to display the results, which is partially reproduced here. I'd recommend a visit to Go Mechanical Keyboard to see the full version, as well as links to prior year's surveys.
Getting to a few of the results, we'll start with the all-important mechanical key switches:
Cherry MX Blue was the winner for favorite typing experience, with MX Brown switches actually winning both gaming and all-purpose categories. Of course, key switches are a very personal choice and these results are limited to the readers of one particular site, though that does not invalidate the results. The position of the MX Brown surprised me, as my impression had been it was less popular than a few of the other options out there. (I'm curious to see what our readers think!)
Next we'll look at the preferred form-factor (which is accompanied by a couple of other data points):
Tenkeyless (TKL) slightly edges out the next highest result, which was the "60%" form-factor. Admittedly, I had not heard of this size prior to reading these results, and here's what I found from a quick search (I retrieved the following from the Deskthority Wiki):
"60% keyboards omit the numeric keypad of a full-size keyboard, and the navigation cluster of a tenkeyless keyboard. The function key row is also removed; the escape key is consequently moved into the number row."
I'll skip ahead to the favorite overall keyboard results, which in no way could cause any disagreement or disparagement on the internet, right?
The Vortex Poker 3 was the winner, a 60% keyboard (there's that form-factor again!) offered with a variety of MX switches. These keyboards run from about $129 - $139, depending on version. A model with Cherry MX Blue switches and white backlighting is listed on Amazon for $139.99, and versions with other key switches are also listed. The CM QuickFire Rapid, a tenkeyless design that sells for under $80 was second, followed by the Corsair K70, a standard 104-key design that sells for $129.
There was quite a bit more info on the full version of the infographic, and the source article (and site) is definately worth checking out if you're interested in mechanical keyboards. I'm curious to know what our readers prefer, too, so I'll be checking the comments!
