I’m quite obsessive over the exact length of my mongoose. I need to trim them to a precise length where the nail is usable but doesn’t interfere with typing.
Anyone else got similar keyboard habits?

I also noticed typing with your third leg slows down progress, I wish I had a fourth. So much I could accomplish…
Excessively long/short nails are poor Feng shui. Long thumb nails cause anxiety. To prevent this I keep mine trimmed and free of dirt. I’m obsessive to the point of visual inspection only - I don’t measure the length by ruler. However nails must be cut in a symmetrical fashion.
Dude you gotta keep that SH%$ in check! Do what you gotta do, hell, take a break from hippocoding and get your nails in order!
Blasphemy, this thread needs to be about cake and cats. Or cats in cake.
This just in: UE4 ships with a free set of nail clippers.
Unity to release “cuticle trimming” and “cuticle trimming pro” addons… only $1500.
I’ve always clipped mine since I was a very small child to the living part of the nail so that they can’t get dirty. And I mean since I was 4 or 5 and yet other hygiene matters at that age so what. No one taught me that I simply did. When I see a man with finger nails long enough to get dirt underneath them, I silently cringe if I notice. Has nothing to do with being effeminate behavior, I just don’t like it. Ugh, and if they have a long pinky nail I hate that, coke heads grow those.
I don’t particularly like fingernail or toe nail polish on anyone. I never did. Your fingernails should not be more noticeable then your eyes. For me it’s like women that say the first thing they notice about a man is his shoes and that the wrong shoes are a deal breaker, except I am only prejudice against the ‘cocaine pinky nails’ the others I ignore. And I can’t figure out how the town with I’m in with 10,000 people can support more cuticle culling businesses than barbers and hair stylists.
LOL
Cats on donuts in a candy galaxy. And you’re welcome.

My cat is like 100% missing a toenail, its so nice not having it as it can’t scratch (With that one toe) but its sad to think of the pain of having it torn off at some point.
True dat, the engine buffet is useless if your fingers can’t get to the keyboard!
Not nails, but I can’t stand silent keyboards, and have only a bare tolerance for non-mechanical ones. It drives me nuts if it doesn’t sound like a load of gravel falling on a tin roof when I type. No sarcasm.
This…I thought I was the only one. 
Mechanical keyboards and trimmed finger nails FTW!
One of my idiosyncrasies is I have to have the same exact keyboard, mouse and chair at work, as I have at home…
I have the habit of typing very loud/arrogantly and at high WPM so when people tell me to stop I can secretly get enjoyment out of people telling me to stop being good at something.
I also have the habit of never cleaning my keyboard, although I don’t know if the absence of doing something would be considered a habit, I’ve maintained not cleaning it for a long time and as doing something repeatedly is considered a habit, I would say my refusal to clean my keyboard would be considered a habit at this point.
We threw out Fritz’s keyboard like that when he retired. There were things growing in it and old food had turned to dirt.
I like to offset the carbon emissions required to create my keyboard by using it to create home-grown keyboard compost dirt from old food; it validates my habit.
Typing the word poop over and over again at high WPM to annoy people is not a good thing .
Being able to type poop very fast repeatedly with an accuracy of 78% is my only talent and you’re not going to take that away from me with your nay-say words.
