Thanks Patrick. But I think you already have enough on your plate!

better keyboard is a thing

them youngsters probably use a very responsive gaming keyboard


Yeah the reason I usually don't solve for the last few days of December/first few days of January every year is that I'm travelling for Christmas and I hate solving on my laptop keyboard.

That said I just use a fairly standard HP keyboard -- whatever came with the desktop when I bought it. It's definitely a step up from trying to solve on a laptop keyboard though.

I actually solve the puzzles on my laptop, I personally like that better than the separate keyboard of my desktop, where I have to exert somewhat more force to press a key. My PB on the 4x4 was set on that keyboard, so it might not matter that much at all. Using an ipad/phone however is definitely much slower, I once did that for a week on holiday and I think I never got a sub-7.
