What's a good mechanical keyboard for coding and also gaming, but won't make me look like a dork?

though I'm also tempted by these two part ergo keyboards that you guys were posting a few pages back.

I have evolved far beyond conventional layouts but if I were in the market for a good regular keyboard I think I’d go for a Drop Ctrl or one of their other sizes/models

the best keyboards use 4-pin mini-DIN just like S-VHS

the other best keyboards use an SDL connector (and not one with a 6-pin mini-DIN on the other end)

yeah. i have an OG m that i need to take apart and put a new membrane into.

this involves taking it apart, chiseling off 84 plastic rivets, drilling 84 holes through where the rivets were, and using 84 M2 screws, 84 washers and 84 nuts to reassemble it after i replace the membrane, which costs twelve dollars.

it'll be a day

I have a Model M for each of my RS/6000 and one for my PS/2 Model 80

I'm looking for the man who shot my paw.

i have a unicomp and i love it. for some reason though the bottom row of keys will stop responding sometimes. i'll plug in my WASD and use it for a while, then when i pull out the model m again after a few weeks it somehow starts working again. pretty weird

hi again yos pals. Postin' a PSA because I randomly visited one of my drop bookmarks and the YOSPOS keycaps are available again for the first time in ~4 years. I looked back in the thread and I don't think anyone else noticed. Only 10 days left so if anyone else was waiting, get on it

https://drop.com/buy/drop-sa-green-screen-keycap-set




SA profile, doubleshot, all that poo poo. here I'll break it down for you:

pros:
- looks cool
- makes you more cool, by the transitive property
- look how tall the escape key is goddamn

cons:
- $250 probably
- ships in 2023
- won't improve your posting

Bush lied, Kentucky Fried.
Elsewhere I am surrounded by insane keyboard nutjobs who build these tiny weird little keyboards that are broken in two and I'm like "you are insane" yet I am repeatedly drawn to this Moonlander split keyboard thing and I am feeling the pull more and more as this corsair keyboard a friend bought me years ago starts randomly weirding out.

Is this how keyboard addicts start? am I in mortal peril?

I think as soon as you start caring about different switches it's already too late.
