Thank goodness, I was waiting for some glasses I needed to charge constantly for the very few situations in which Transition lenses are slightly the wrong tint.

Transitions lenses are temperature sensitive so having manual control might make sense if you're in cold climates. I would get so annoyed because mine would turn pitch black in winter on especially cold days.

You really have to type on one and game with it for a few hours before you see the real appeal It just feels good, the keys are easy and fast to push and doesn't use lovely rubber pressure to register a key I have the das loud keyboard I bought 4-5 years ago and as the other guy said it works amazingly well still

The raised keys cause me to miss keystrokes and brush over keys I otherwise wouldn't hit. I've had this thing for months and I still don't like it any more than I liked my generic HP plain old desktop keyboard.

I've used Mechanical for a few years now and yeah, it's nice, but people go a little crazy when talking about how great they are. Keyboard snobs have gotten bad in recent years. wa27 has a new favorite as of 20:36 on Jun 17, 2015 |

Imagine being such a smug fucker about your mechanical keyboard that you buy earplugs from the manufacturer's website and give them to people around you who are annoyed by your 140 dollar purchase. Das Keyboard should do a kickstarter so I can make fun of them in this thread.

Went from a $10 generic keyboard to a $80 Rosewill with mechanical switches. I knew the old keyboard was garbage and constantly hated using it, but I didn't really realize just how utterly irredeemable it was until I started using those sweet mechanical keys. I actually missed keys a lot while typing because I didn't exert enough pressure on the old keyboard. I'll never go back to a non-mechanical keyboard.

I haven't personally owned other mechanical keyboards (friend had some razer one and it feels different) and typed on some at a best buy Its got good reviews vs the other ones out there and spending the extra amount I felt it had a better feel, and lasting a long rear end time compared to others according to reviews Im not trying to come off smug or bashing other keyboards, I'm just saying why I prefer this and I can see why people are hesitant to pay that much for one And yes the earplugs are kinda dumb and can possibly annoy people but there's silenced versions stringball has a new favorite as of 20:47 on Jun 17, 2015 |

Either you don't type enough or your dumb fingers are broken or both. g710's have weird cherry blues which I don't enjoy. Try other switches and see if you like them better. Also lol $75 for a keyboard  that's bargain/dumpster/trash heap bin for mechanicals if you're buying a brand like logitech

DAS keyboard is literally just http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA23C1FM0200 but also has a USB hub integrated, which I use to plug my mouse in so I don't need an extension usb cable to pull my mouse+keyboard away from the table. That was worth $20 for me, so I went for DAS.CJacobs posted:I have a Logitech G710+ Please don't buy logitech peripherals that aren't mice. I'm a huge logitech fan, and their mice are the best you can own IMO, but their non-mouse products are bad 99% of the time. EightDeer posted:I use a Model M because they're loving indestructible. There are countless examples of Model Ms that are 30 years old and still work like they were manufactured yesterday. Model M is glorious, I still have one of those at work. Also, until recently I had an ancient cherry keyboard (said made in west germany on the back  ), it worked great all these years through constant abuse. Unfortunately, I lost it somewhere a couple years ago, probably someone swiped it while I wasn't looking

Mechanical keyboard are really useful if you live in an area, I find that the rhythmic clatter of the keys when I am ITZ (in the zone) helps repel witches and bog monsters who would otherwise distract & throw me off my game. I guess some people use them in offices too, which is weird? Bog monsters never spawn in offices, so like. . . What are they even trying to prove?

Yeah, the earlier models were quite literally $100 piles of garbage you could buy online. No PS/2 support, they missed keystrokes at times, they produced double keystrokes if you typed moderately fast... It was a real trainwreck that used very expensive switches. They had a really good keyboard for a several years, but now I hear from people to not buy a new DAS as they're poo poo again, so who knows what's going on

Hey guys, remember that EA ARG game that had a great concept and tanked after a few months back in 2001? Let's try it again but with really half-baked concepts, vague statements and horrible grammar! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1416475843/unveiled-0/

No, the best part is:quote:Our story isn't that fictional. Its about the Bilderberg Group, the UN Agenda 21 and Vision 2020. The Spanish flu, the fact that the flu is man-made and H1N1 appeared again years later as the swine flu. Its about government who lie to us. Maybe the game can help to wake the people, so they open their eyes and see the world different.

So the game is Deus Ex, but as a propoganda piece, rather than a cyberpunk sci-fic story, and done in MS Paint and Flash.
