we should have yospos clan tags that are about what switch we use to post and that way I can discriminate against non-topre users.

the cherry switches in the hori stick made me think: what if you replaced all the keyboard buttons with fight stick buttons?

I got this thing and it owns, that roundy thing at the bottom is an 8 way hat which is good enough for moevemt in every nonsperge game i.e. anything I'm gonna play these days

keys are a bit loud, apparently you can mod it to make it quieter but lol at the shamefulness involved in modding a keypad

ya I have the lights on mine toggled off but I feel like it just added to the already exorbitant price and because of it it has ugly semi translucent keycaps so the backlight I don't use can shine through

it's kinda like writing 2015 in the keyboard but instead they wrote SHEEP (wood) because it's the year of the wood sheep

2016 will be fire monkey year :getin:

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose!
It's hilarious how aside from the bargain basement mouses and keyboards that come with your dell they don't make anything higher quality that doesn't look like a stealth jet covered in cheeto dust because ~gamerz~ are the only people left on the planet that still use desktop computers.
