You need to make a necklace. When AI reaches singularity and society crumbles, we will use the size of emacs coders' Ctrl necklaces to establish a new clan hierarchy.
That's what I wanted to say.
Switch it to caps lock and break the key again. It may take quite some time. Then you would be invited to the secret society.
You need a new keyboard, and you should clearly get this: [https://mechboards.co.uk/products/hyper-7-v4](https://mechboards.co.uk/products/hyper-7-v4)
or [https://keymacs.com/](https://keymacs.com/)
I mean, it's partially inspired by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-cadet\_keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-cadet_keyboard)
which is the keyboard emacs was originally designed for
but, yeah. it's a bit over the top. nevertheless i have one on order :-)
Each of my computers is cheaper than the first keyboard you posted and all of them together are by far cheaper than the second one in its basic option :D.
I have a Razer chicklet keyboard, I think DeathStalker, I bought used many years ago; somewhere in 2012/2013, I don't remember. It still works :). It is about 10+ years now. I am amazed. I am probably doing "too little Emacs" per day.

🤣
Bonus points: Program Emacs to make the necklace.
How would he do that w/o a ctrl key?
No, true engineers wear a Nozzle-Necklace.
It looks like you lost control there
Dude's outta Ctrl.

My thought exactly!
switch it to Caps Lock

Omg why are you using Ctrl instead of Caps Lock key 😨
I don't have a caps-locks key. I get keycaps that let me put Ctrl where "that" key is.
That's what most people do, and it is the way emacs was intended to be used
Nice keyboard. Looks comfy. Is the velcro supposed to attach your sleeve?
I LOL’d at this. The keyboard came with a resting pad that I ripped off

That first keyboard looks a torture device

Computers come and go. Hand crafted keyboards are forever
Noooo you can’t but it looks like you have chairys Mx so just buy or 3D Print a new one
And after the crrl key spent so much time growing that soul patch. Tragedy.
I don't see a key named "Meta" or "Super" there, so c'mon. Do you even emacs bro?
Your keyboard is not backlit, philistine.
Incorrect. Your Caps Lock key appears untouched. You are doing it wrong.
You're out of Control!
time to make your caps lock another Ctrl and break it
I've never broken one, but I've worn the writing off the left Ctrl key on about half of the keyboards I've used regularly.
That's the wrong key. WTF are you doing not rebinding capslock?
I broke a keyboard's Caps Lock key as I'd remapped it to Ctrl. We're an elite club!
Pinky of steel.
When my control key broke on my keyboard, I learnt to use capslock instead. Now I have left/right arrows broken and I learn how to navigate smarter.
Or you could jsut buy a new set of keycaps.
new emacs fear unlocked ![gif](giphy|s7RJ1RI8X6l2M)
Fear? Do you mean ”feat”?
blokes out of control.
Why, just why didn't you write it as Ctrl? 😭

Peter Hook is an Emacs user, BTW!
Resistance is futile, you have lost control.
How do you hit your ctrl key, with the side of your palm or pinky?
The pinky; but using the palm could be a great form of anger expression 🧐
> side of your palm wat
I know some guys use their palm-edge to hit ctrl key in order to to avoid pinky problem

Should have swapped to use the Caps key instead
You've lost control over your keyboard
Doomed key. Just Space it.
You lost control?
