Mechanical keyboards are cool and good and the ladies love them. If you are fine with rubber domes then you can't get with me.

Ok, so I THOUGHT I was a top oval office for loving my mechanical keyboard, I was totally in your camp of 'motherfuckers are stupid' but I REALLY wanted one, so I thought, gently caress it, life's too short, just get the nice thing and be happy with the stupid nice thing even though its dumb. HOWEVER. Every single person that has ever used my keyboard has looked at me with a face that suggests they've seen their first boob and asked why my keyboard was so magical. It turns out it's not just me. Ok, so maybe I only know useless unlovable cunts, but when there's enough of us, it doesn't matter anymore because we can all love each other. Certainly owning one makes me ostensibly more unloveable though, my fiance hates it.

I was briefly thinking about buying a gaming pc, so I subscribed to the pcmasterrace subreddit, thinking these guys propably are the best ressource for that kind of stuff. Turns out that while they know exactly what hardware will fit my needs, they also are extremely obnoxious retards about their pcs, and will post endless photos of their LED contaminated garbage boxes. Every single one of them appearantly needs rainbow colored mechanical keyboars, and LEDs at every single place that they can fit in. They're also huge elitists which is just pathetic when you realize that for them this is literally part of their identity, instead of just a tool you build to do a certain thing.

Feels like the keys go down easier so it's probably better for gaming (at least I felt less in control in Overwatch once I went back to my old non-mechanical). Mostly it's just fun going clickety-clack ya know.

I like mechanical keyboards. In fact I'm typing on one right no! It's really great. This is a clone IBM Model M that as part of a Kick Starter campaign. ell orth it. I signed up in May 2013 and they just delivered it to eeks ago. Can't recommend it highly enough. There is a problem ith one of the keys. I can't tell you hich key because it doesn't type anything. See: "". I should have signed up for the Stretch Goal here the button actually orks. Otherise a great keyboard.

If you don't know, massdrop is a site where nerds can organize groupbuys for things like mechanical keyboards and steampunk tube amps for their headphones. Once upon a time, they set about creating the perfect mechanical keyboard, as a community. The end result was the Infinity keyboard:  a complete piece of poo poo w/ no actual enclosure for $99-130 depending on how many idiots want to go in on a groupbuy for them at the time oh and some assembly is required. to ensure that you can use the clickiest switches you can find, it comes totally disassembled and you get to solder every key onto it yourself for that personal touch  it doesnt even have F keys or a numpad. lmao poverty goat fucked around with this message at 13:51 on Apr 18, 2017 |

Try having one of these people as an officemate. I lasted a month before snapping and telling him to get a quieter one. He was shocked and "didn't realize" people thought it was too loud. You could hear it like 20 feet down the hall. I guess they feel nice to type on but if you use them in any kind of shared living or working environment you're a monster.

Mechanical switches exist which are quiet and still feel really great to type on so any time that happens know that the clickiness was totally elective and unnecessary to the mechanical keyboard experience

That reminds me of when I was a kid and thought I was super smart because I pulled the keyboard out of my C= 64, extended the cable and could sit back and use it on my lap.

It's good that my parents can hear me typing in keywords to find harem anime into pirate searchbars. For real though I'd buy one if I could justify buying one. But whatever. edit: Though I LOATH those smooth, flat keyboards they use mostly in our work. I had to dig around in the stores to find one with actual keys rather than a flat slate.

Yeah really, gently caress blue switches. Blacks or browns are basically the same noise level as your standard rattly fuckin' rubber dome keyboard and feel just as nice and definite as a blue switch. lot of nerds just like to make a loud noise when they type angry youtube comments about how Linus Tech Tips sold out i guess.

I don't dislike them, I just feel very little appreciable difference between them and a lovely 20 dollar logitech one. It certainly doesn't have any effect on my typing speed or accuracy which is all that really matters.

I like how a lot of sites that sell/review mech keyboards also sell earplugs, recommending you have them around for your annoyed office mates. I have one at home and it's okay. It does feel nice and whatever but drat I'm not gonna go all autistic over it. Also I'd never take one to work.

Mechanical keyboards own. They own so hard I have a pile in the back of my office waiting to swap in for when I spill another cup of coffee on my current one. A couple weeks in the pile to dry out and it's good as new. What I hate is cheap rear end usb / ps2 converterrrrrrrrrrs that sometimes speeeeeew a key here and there. Sorry for your tender babby ears OP.

My roommate in high school had a Model M and kept me up all night talking to some girl. He got way cooler with age though so I can't hold it against him 15 years later or whatever. edit: I kinda want one because I can only type decently fast if I hit the keys real hard because I am literally a stupid ape but I keep my loud nerd hobbies at home and don't use a computer at my job so whatever.
