This is dope.
Why not just declaw at that point?
it’s all in the article, with a paragraph dedicated to you. and it’s free to read!
The thing that I can’t understand about this product is why they didn’t cover the function keys. They are literally functional.
Although using the top row of keys does not cause you to accidentally hit keys above it.
Maaaaybe it’s just silly to glue long pieces of plastic to the ends of your fingers? For some reason nobody asked me what I thought about that trend when it was becoming popular 🤔
There actually is an easier solution for this kind of problem: Nail clippers.
as someone, who could have been a professional classical guitar player, I am insulted.
?
(Classic guitar players have long nails)
exactly. the only kind of self expression anyone needs is going on lemmy and making smug comments.
Someone didn’t read the article. She addresses exactly this.
I can already hear the trolls making jokes about women being concerned about breaking a nail. If it’s so inconvenient, why not just have short nails? Well, I’m not out here wearing long nails for fun. Being a reviewer often means acting as a part-time hand model for whatever gadget I’m testing. The Internet Nail Police has repeatedly shown up in my comments over the years if my polish is chipped or, god forbid, there’s a smudge of dirt under my natural nail.

I read the article. It still is the better solution.
You can’t have a solution if you ignore half of the problem statement. It’s completely unhelpful.
Problem: I want to be able to type better while having long nails.
Your solution: Don’t have long nails.
Sometimes, project requirements are shitty from the start. This one definitely is.
Kinda cool but shit $45 for a piece of silicone those margins are insane.
Yeah but it’s for Macs so what do you expect
I prefer the trippy tribe 🥴
Strange topic. Makes me feel uncomfortable.
Latter article is mostly AI generated images
Thanks - deleted. Fucking internet.
Why Are Long Nails Attractive
Interesting starting point.
As someone who is turned off by long nails (indicates they may be high maintenance), I enjoy reading about what others see in them.
Honestly-I always wondered how in the hell women with nails even just a little bit long typed comfortably on a keyboard. I figured it was either a) not a big deal or b) a super pain in the arse and another example of the world (for whatever reason) not making a simple product to solve a simple issue (like bandaids that match people’s skin color for example).
Now I know! :)
Phones must be a bitch as well…. The solution to that might be a bit harder to pull off…
I’ve always wondered about wiping one’s ass. Seems like you’d want a nail brush handy to wash up every time.
Which part of the world are you from? Here we use toilet paper to wipe (but we still wash our hands afterwards). I haven’t really heard of someone using their nails before, that sounds kinda weird.
Must be the part where we don’t use armor plated TP.
What are you eating, Kevlar?
It’s about the angle, you cannot orient it towards your pads as much on a laptop.
My SIL has long nails, and watching her use her phone and laptop is just fascinating. So many problems I just never even considered…
Typing with long nails is the embodiment of “beauty is pain.”
The pain is real, but the beauty is subjective.
It’ was a status thing. Those with manual labor jobs usually can’t have long nails, so long nails means they’re above manual labor. So the rich in the past did that, and now everybody wants to do that so and it becomes a beauty thing.
Everybody definitely doesn’t.
To me long nails are ick
The longer the more ick
I will never forget when I had to help a coworker with her laptop, she had long nails that had worn grooves in her keyboard keys.
She typed on her nails, the sound it made was terrible.
Ew. Most people I’ve seen w/ long nails type with the pads of their fingers, with absolutely terrible typing posture.
This article has the same approach to word count as a high schooler writing a paper.
I guess its for mac book but on a real keyboard just replacing the caps with tall ones that loft from square to a circle at the top would be way better and less floppy
A solution to a self inflicted problem.
And? Nearly everything is a self inflicted problem. You could just lay down and stop bothering, so why don’t you do that?
Do I like long nails? Hell no. Does it affect me if somebody buys this keyboard to type and have long nails? Also hell no.
Ergonomic chairs are also a solution to an often self-inflicted problem. Mainly doing all kinds of things to your body when you’re young that you don’t realize you’ll regret when you’re older.
Are ergonomic chairs a bad thing?
Man, I wish I could just trim my bursitis.
Long nails can look pretty, and while I’m sure this would help people with long nails, I think it would just give me an RSI or just be differently frustrating.
No thanks. I’ll paint my short nails so I can—you know—use my hands. And that’s free.
I’m not a fan of the long nails because it hurts my insides.
Tell your girlfriend to get a queer manicure next time.
Also fecal matter and bacteria are stored in abundance under long nails.
That part I like.
This thing costs about the same as one good set of nails
This thing costs less than one dose of antibiotics :
Don’t use that on your bum.
It’s a sharp bidet.
Works great under the nails though
The Tippy Type is a keyboard cover for MacBooks
I could have predicted that even if the article never mentioned it.
