Well, I caved. I thought having Japanese symbols on my keyboard was a novel idea, and it fit with the KAT Explosion theme well. Turns out it’s not great in practicality. It works fine for gaming, and okay for typing (and I’m not an expert touch typist, so that doesn’t help), but I ran into problems with anything that requires symbols such as coding or typing passwords. It’s time to swap out for some “normal” keycaps. I’m going to try switching just the numbers and symbol keys first, and leave the alphas in Japanese. We’ll see how that works and go from there.

So, Japanese symbols on an English keyboard: 4/10, do not recommend.

Our first electric buses have arrived! I’m excited to get to drive these around town pretty soon.
