We're nerds passionate about keyboards. Sometimes I laugh at myself because of this keyboard fetish I've developed. You do realize how off-the-chart nerdy we are right lol?
Keyboard nerds are pretty nerdy indeed, but it's interesting that all the other nerds look to them for real information about mechanical keyboards.
It's pretty telling that a significant minority of gamers who are looking for a good keyboard but otherwise have no interest in keyboards would rather spend their money on a Filco than on one of the many keyboards which are marketed as "gaming keyboards", like the Razer Blackwidow. It's a good sign, I think.
Passion is good, but being overzealous about anything is neither constructive nor necessary. On another forum I belong to, advocating for a product that you've had good experiences with is encouraged, but whenever you try to make it seem like the be-all and end-all of products that nothing else can compare to, you get quickly told to tone it down. Attitudes like that almost invariably result in flame wars. Plus, any sufficiently zealous praise for a product becomes indistinguishabale from advertising.
