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

"oh it feels good to type on" is how you know someone is a pansy bitch with a fake job "oh i do the databases" "got a lots of email 2 send" "workin hard on this secret code" you soft-handed disappointment

your mother wishes she'd had a daughter and your father wishes he'd never had kids

The only excusable use of a mechanical keyboard is writing your suicide note when you realize how horribly you have failed at life by going out of your way to buy one.

Or, you know, you want to be able to hit more than like 3 buttons at once and have them work. Pretty much the only advantage to a mechanical keyboard, but it's kind of a legitimately useful reason to own one. They're also more durable.

Before you dogpile me for using one though, I'll have you know I'm a die hard user of THIS hosed up thing:

In their defense have you ever used a keyboard that feels bad to type on? One of those mushy-lovely out of the box keyboards? They're pretty loving bad.

I like things that I do for hours daily to feel good. And I like doing things that feel good in general also! It's pretty cool you should try it instead of not being able to live with yourself

Yeaaaaahhhhhhh that's my pig!

You only find those in places that have been using computers since the 90s. Anything that bought PCs after like 1998 got the cappy rubber dome shits that broke in 5 years.

If you're actually doing real data entry, or writing, or serious computer touching that's really the best tool for the job.

Also doubles as a good bludgeon for when that pissass from down the hall starts in with the Friday afternoon change requests again.

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.

Literally the only use for n-key rollover is for teens with pirated Fruity Loops wanting to make bad music playing chords on their computer keyboard because they can't afford a real keyboard.

I use one of those floppy plastic keyboards you can roll up and an unassuming but highly sensitive 3 button mouse (as in it just has left/right/scrollwheel). Whenever anyone asks me to use my computer to check something I'm just like sure go ahead and laugh internally.

Keyboard actually works great when you get used to it but you basically have to hit the keys dead center with good wrist posture so anyone not familiar with it basically will gently caress up their passwords roughly 100% of the time.

e: something like this for the uninitiated, tho I didn't get mine from think geek
