It could also be ADHD or a number of other things. I've noticed in the past 15 years that people tend to immediately armchair-diagnose anyone with slightly neurodivergent tendencies as autistic. I blame Big Bang Theory. I've only seen it a couple of times, but I think Sheldon is hinted as autistic in it and of course makes a big joke of it. Since that show was immensely popular, it put autism on many people's minds.

I'm not attacking your statement, and you could totally be right. But, it's my civic duty to chime in like some 70s McGruff knockoff and spout off my catchphrase-- "Remember, kids! There's more than one way to deviate from the norm! ®"

EDIT: This is a new/reproduction Model F77 from modelfkeyboards.com

Never really thought about an alternative to my lame MacBook keyboard until I stumbled upon this subreddit... Thought back to the old beige Macs/PCs I used growing up in the 90s and got nostalgic.

I decided I wanted a mechanical keyboard with that old school aesthetic and an almost typewriter like feel... Like my IBM Selectric but actually practical.

I didn't want to spend a bunch of time/money buying & selling keyboards working up to my "endgame".... I've done enough of that in other hobbies and know what I wanted- the biggest baddest beige-iest MF there is.

This keyboard rocks... Everything I hoped for and more. The setup is kinda half HHKB- I liked the idea of having FN right next to my pinky, but I also wanted to keep my Mac muscle memory with caps lock/control.

The sound is epic... The feel is even better... The weight is insane- highly recommend!

Think this might be the first one here posted with the apple style keycaps... I'm digging it.
