Title: Cringiest kb related item ever made?
Post by: noisyturtle on Fri, 14 September 2018, 17:11:54
I saw this Cyberblade project (based on Kingdom Hearts Keyblades, but it's a keyboard) and ****in visibly puckered. Reminds me of the early 2000s raver kids in their JNCO's, rainbow hair, gasmasks, and Heartless pendant.

What is the cringiest keyboard-related item you've ever seen?

Keeb...
You know how some people hate the sound of nails on a chalkboard, that's me with the word "keeb".  The same people probably use shortened and combined names like Benifer and Jlaw as well.

There is no way to make keyboards cool, even with slang. Sorry.

that reminds me, Mandolin totally just walked with my money and I never got my cap. I wonder if anyone got their cap from that scam.

I think keyboards are p cool tho, definitely an interesting conversation starter and other people find it cool when I talk about it.

but yeah, “keebtalk” especially is a horrible ****ing name

It's not two names chopped down to make one nonsensical one. Also, the ann was added because Leslie in some cultures is primarily male while in others it's primarily female. Lesley also has the same problem, but reversed.

I personally like the keeblade as a keyboard case, that picture is a bit over the top with colours tho. Also the guy who made it is a genuinely nice guy.

no I think it goes to the invention of Keeb and the website that helped promote it. I hear the word and automatically think of a 15 year old trying to be cool in front of his friends.

Dont understand the resistance to Keeb,

It's a good contractions..  k e y b o a ,,  that in itself is hard to type because of the left right left right left right timing..

keeb  is  right , left.. done..



-- trying to be cool in front of his friends. --

Only one who is SUPER insecure would ever Imagine SOMEONE ELSE trying to look cool.. then h8 on that ..

Think about the pathways here.


There is nothing mechanical wrong or inefficient about  "Keeb"..

Post by: 9999hp on Fri, 05 October 2018, 12:57:46
Keeb has good efficiency; but I just don't like the sound of it. It's unpleasant to the ears. Board is just as efficient in terms of syllables, and in context as easily understandable; also much more pleasant sounding.

Also, it sounds like one of those made up lame drug names that you might see in some government or office power point on the dangers of illicit substances.

"Yo, you got any keeb?"

Idk... that's more like a regular keyboard which use beer cans for keycaps..

I guess we could call that a beer can keyboard..

Although would've liked to see at least 200% m0ar beer can used in the construction.
