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.

You've got to get that PS2 converter that's a little blue cube, the others all have problems because the model M has the power requirement of a washing machine on its spin cycle.

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.

Umm, that was one of my rare "non-sarcastic" posts. I sincerely like mechanical keyboards and the only people who think they are lovely gimmicks are people who haven't tried using them.

I have a mechanical keyboard I paid like 130 dollars for and it's sitting unused because even at home my landlord complained that he could hear it through the ceiling. They aren't a lovely gimmick, they are just too expensive for the benefits/improvements they offer, in my opinion.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I didn't know what a Model M was. Is this it?

I see these a lot but never in businesses that have more than maybe 3 computers in the whole place. So, like, not used a lot for typing long documents and more for order entries or stuff like that. They do make a lot of noise. Typing on one is fun, but if you don't have hearing loss or aren't wearing earplugs, someone clicking on one all day is pretty annoying.

Gotta get that wordperfect shortcut strip of paper taped to the top of that thing and you're set.

I do think the coiled cable old at keyboards had were pretty sweet though.

I just couldn't find a normal keyboard with n-key rollover. Only the fancy pansy mechanical ones had it. On that note it was well worth getting one on black friday. Feels great to type on, is super sensitive and I can play in the dark because of a simple red led backlight. Loud as gently caress though. Cherry MX or what the gently caress ever keys. What is with these colors and names? gently caress it I can play Battlefield and be able to press more than 4 keys at once.

cherry clears are the best switches btw

theyre browns with more tension so you can actually feel the click and you can really hammer on them without bottoming out

Loud clicky switches are great for multiplayer games where you hold down your microphone activation button and hammer a bunch of keys at random.
