2.25 Lshift is blasphemy so is 2.75 Rshift
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

1.25 [left shift] is just the best , additional key on pratical position . That's why ISO is superior to ANSI .
wtf ameri***s.
6. clipping stabs is a placebo

That's why ISO is superior to ANSI .Except if your hands are smaller than average, then the left shift becomes quite hard to reach. (For instance, my wife finds the ANSI right shift essentially unusable; on ISO both shift keys are unusable for her.)

(For instance, my wife finds the ANSI right shift essentially unusable; on ISO both shift keys are unusable for her.)if you're shorter than 6ft, you will pretty much hit the ansi lshift on the right side. aka you will completely miss it on iso.the position should be REVERSED. 1x key, 1.25x lshift key.iso is stupid.
I was bored and waiting for my coffee to take hold, so I decided to tally the unpopular opinions, summarizing them into categories. There is no nuance to this chart and some opinions were either clearly not unpopular (60% is awesome is not an unpopular opinion) or were too lengthy and specific to be worth trying to simplify. Through my extremely unscientific analysis, I present to you the most popular "unpopular opinions" of the thread as of the time of posting!Show Image
why does my samurai sound like Japanese Batman?
tbh I hate all Cherry MX switches. Blues were too loud, browns were too broken-feeling, and linears didn't have enough response.

So you're telling me people hate things because of fanboys?Quote from: Rainbow_ on Sat, 08 November 2014, 16:24:27tbh I hate all Cherry MX switches. Blues were too loud, browns were too broken-feeling, and linears didn't have enough response.Well, Browns suck unless they're "vintage" Browns (read well broken in). Reds are **** and Blacks are meh unless you swap the springs for Clear springs and get yourself some Ghost Blacks/Reds. Clears are okay, but only become great when lubed and you swap the springs for 65-70g springs. Blues are annoying and suck unless they're "vintage" Blues. Greens are annoying. MX Lock are fun, but a novelty that really have no use. Whites are too inconsistent. Alps>MX
I hate the term vintage. They're just broken in and well used. But demik, I like my HHKB and don't like Model Ms, what does that mean?

The most solid, heavy, piano-like, retro-modern, beautiful profile ever. And it looks fantastic on 60% boards.I am always right unless I'm wrong.<combined an answer with five unpopular opinions, how's that for efficiency? And artisan caps are art. Everyone has their own taste. Or lack thereof.>

I'd like to see you game for 10 hours with your hand on the wasd cluster with your wrist in the air.
Quote from: skuko on Sat, 08 November 2014, 19:07:05I'd like to see you game for 10 hours with your hand on the wasd cluster with your wrist in the air. Using a keyboard (for whatever purpose) for 10 hours straight is stupid and terrible for your body, no matter what your setup is. Just sitting in a chair for that long at a time, whether reading a book, or watching TV, or writing with pen and paper, or whatever, is stupid.You should be getting up and walking around after at most every 2–3 hours, and you should be taking brief stretch breaks every 30 minutes, if not more frequently.
Yeah, damn, 10 hours is pretty insane. You're also "supposed" to pee every couple hours, so take your wrist off the keyboard when you do that, too.
None of you deserve your fancy mechs because you can't type fast enough on them.
I'm sure anyone can burst up to 130WPM for a few seconds, but I highly doubt the claims for any higher unless I see it in person

I think what people really dislike is when people just go too far in their adoration of anything. It becomes annoying, and people start hating it for it.

QWERTY character layout is to prevent neighbouring keys being pressed too rapidly in succession and jamming the gravity returned hammers.... Oh wait.. WE DON'T HAVE THESE THINGS ANY MORE. Yet the design has persisted, due to being familiar. It's not logical, it's not comfortable or ergonomic, it's not even symmetrical or aesthetic. The ONLY reason to use it is familiarity. When the only reason you still do something a certain way is tradition, it's time to make a change, based on more current requirements.I agree.This is my suggestion to keyboard manufacturers:a) a TKL keyboard. (Attached.)b) a 7x14 keyboard (Attached.)To users: if you don't want to sacrifice any of your skills with the standard keyboard, or you already own an expensive TKL case, expensive keycaps, rare switches etc and don't want to waste more money, choose a). Otherwise, chose b).Edit: I'm sorry I couldn't post attachements. Internal server error.

3. Paying more for keycap(s) than the keyboard that they are on is hilarious.4. Ditto for the case.
Hmm.. eh, why not.1. NKRO will not make you a better gamer....<snip>5. All vanilla physical (ANSI/ISO/etc) keyboard layouts are terrible outdated relics.6. Any key larger than ~1.75x, especially the spacebar, is a waste of space.7. Reports of the same cherry switches feeling different from one plate mount board to another, or one pcb mount board to another, is basically confirmation bias.
PBT isn't that much better than ABS
I don't like [...] CMYK
Finally thought of one:I don't like "RGB" mods (CMYK, or whatever).Show ImageThey make your keyboard look like it fell from the Playskool tree and hit every Hasbranch on the way down.
