So I guess everyone is just forgetting about MX Clears then? Must be for Browns to be considered the best.

Nope. Clears are the best. I don't even use my keyboards w/Browns anymore.

Aren't Clears just Browns with higher actuation force? Seems like it could be bad for you

Clears are overrated. They're the Pepsi of cherry switches.

When you're just trying it out as a sample, it seems better, but under repeated normal use, it's too much.

I actually bought an OG IBM Model M a few years ago and tried really hard to make it my primary keyboard, but the lack of Windows keys and media controls, specifically volume control, forced me to sell it after a couple weeks.

I love greens which are basically blues with a higher force, but it seems like their run was extremely limited and you can't get them now without spending an insane amount. I think my next will be a Bluetooth hhkb2, since I was a big fan of the hhkb when I had one

I bought one of those cat face massagers off of Amazon, since the older of my cats is an absolute FIEND for face rubs, and I thought, okay, let's take this poo poo to the next level

Well.

What I got was a face massager for humans on which someone attempted a little decal-based bamboozling:



long story short he wants no part of the massager

I buy way too much pointless poo poo to post here, but I recently got this "mechanical keyboard" for $20 because it seems like exactly the sort of snob subculture I'd be in to and the $20 barrier of entry was in impulse buy zone



Unfortunately it's loud as gently caress and I just think I'm cut out for very low-travel, laptop-style keyboards. My current favorite keyboard is a wireless HP keyboard, of all brands.

Would these help? Tiptiper 110pcs Rubber O-Ring Switch Dampeners White For Cherry MX

If you liked typing on it, look into a Unicomp: http://www.pckeyboard.com

I literally type for a living (chat support agent) and having a Model M style has been amazing for my hands.

Also, luckily, I work from home, so the noise isn't a problem. :v:

My favourite keyboard is the washable one that Logitech discontinued. Makes it easier to clean off cheeto dust.

Aside from whatever junk keyboards they have in the office at work that came with the computers, I haven't touched a non-laptop keyboard in almost a decade. Fortunately this and my last both have SteelSeries keyboards which are really nice, especially for laptop keyboards.

The monitor, keyboard, and mouse are the only means to interact with your computer. They're even more important than whether you get the latest CPU and video card.

Just lol if you only spend 1/3 of your life in front of a computer. Closer to 2/3, methinks.

For the money give Herradura Aņejo a try. It's amazing. My wife's favorite tequila. Don Julio is also quite good and similar price.

He wasn't in any pain, he just thought it was a special adventure to the vet and then to sleep on my feet at the office all day instead of at home. The best part was him trying to pick up treats off the ground without lips that worked - he kept launching this milkbone in the air and chasing it around barking, like it was trying to evade him.

He is stupid and adorable though, that's for sure.

I like Macallan but it's not quite the ashes-and-cream taste that I look for - Laphroaig 10 is my usual just bc price, but the 18 is superb i highly sugjest

How does it compare, taste-wise, with Lagavulin?
