To be fair, you have to have a very high WPM to understand the SA keysets. The feel is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical typing, most of the keystrokes will go over a typical keeb'ers head. There's also MiTo's superior designing, which is deftly woven into SA's characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from K3's cap making, for instance. The SA fans understand this stuff; they have the typing capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these keysets, to realize that they're not just "a keyset"- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike SA keysets truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the feeling of clackery in MiTo's existencial catchphrase "MiTo signing off, goodbye Geekhack," which itself is a cryptic reference to the terror that SA owners had to live in, during the "DCS time". I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Pulse's genius design unfolds itself under their fingers. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Godspeed tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the clackers' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 WPM of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. :rolleyes:

SA isn't perfect, but it's the only high-profile spherical family available. MT3 will be out soon-ish, and it has the potential to be superior in terms of keycap shapes, but it only offers dyesub legends which limits its appeal dramatically. So I'd say there are definitely legitimate reasons to find SA or MT3 disappointing, but the only reason to hate either is if you hate high-profile sphericals as a concept.
And that's okay I suppose; I categorically dislike all cylindrical keycaps simply because they are so relentlessly prosaic and commonplace, so I can see how others might
Post by: DALExSNAIL on Fri, 13 October 2017, 13:40:51
I wonder if the SA hate is for the mere idea of high-profile spherical keycaps, or just for SA in particular.

I'd wager that most SA haters tried their first set predisposed to disliking them, or at the very least highly skeptical. Consequently, confirmation bias combined with too little time acclimating to them led to a dismissive attitude that grew into "hate" as the profile grew in popularity around them. These are called "snap judgments", and they carry little to no rhetorical weight.DONT👏JUDGE👏SA👏WHEN👏YOU👏CARRY👏NO👏RHETORICAL👏WEIGHT

I been trying to like SA, I tried SA on and off for close to a month. I will admit Its gone from pure hatred to I can tolerate SA. Still its by no means my favorite profile. I find that it fatigues my hands far quicker then cherry profile are DSA.. That being said I really like DSA profile go figure its one of my favorites. Also I find the hollow thunk that a set of SA keys gives off bit unsettling. I continue to use my SA key's for the simple fact. I would like to get use to them at some point cause don't want to limit my self on key drops just cause of a profile.

Tried a set when i was fresh into keyboards, and used for about a month. Sold after that because the wobble threw me off. The main reason i wanted to get into keyboards was for the fact that SA even existed and caught my attention, So no predisposition of hate here. But i will give it credit for OK looks, ON CERTAIN BOARDS.

I recently received my Dasher/Dancer set so I'm sure that I will use them on a couple future boards I'm in GBs for just to see how they feel.

I have everything from DSA to fully sculpted SA on my various 60% boards and I find I like the uniform SA the best. It doesn't look the best, but it feels the best to me for some reason, even more than DSA. I mean, they are both uniform in profile, but I like the tallness of the SA better I guess.

I tried typing on an HHKB over the weekend, but the pronounced side edges of its cylindrical keycaps were unnerving. Give me spherical tops, please!Only spheres I need are dsa.
But hhkb stock caps are bae.

However, I don't type for a living(and when I have to for work, it's on a dell.), so that's probably why I'm willing to put up with it. Waiting for a GMK set I like to try that out.

I've noticed that SA sets sell more and more units each time they come up on MassDrop, and I almost never see anyone selling off their SA sets. Given the strong likelihood that an SA set will fetch more than its original GB price in the aftermarket, I can't help but wonder what this says about the profile. If it sucks so bad, why are so many people buying them and keeping them? Surely the funds they could acquire by re-selling them would be put to better use towards keycaps they would actually like and use.They don't know any better. Massdrop is just Reddit with a worse community.

Well, if you don't frequent reddit's MechMarket you probably wouldn't see them being sold, especially here on GH as very people here seem to like SA. Over on MechMarket though, there are SA sets for sale just as often as any other profile.

Question for people who like flat profile like DSA and unsculpted SA -- are you quite tall or do you use a standing desk? The only way I can imagine actually preferring unsculpted is if you really sit/stand *over* your keyboard. If you sit with your elbows at 90 degrees or less, I can only imagine sculpted being better.
I love how SA sounds on Topre and think it looks amazing, but I don't like typing on high profile sets.

I prefer uniform profile SA over DSA. Maybe it is the slippery feel of SA, I don't know.
I am fairly tall, but don't feel that I loom over my keyboards.
I also have the keyboard feet folded in so the keyboard sits flat on the desk.
Post by: zslane on Tue, 24 October 2017, 21:01:51
I also have the keyboard feet folded in so the keyboard sits flat on the desk.
I've been doing that as well. I find that the combined angle of the case (without feet extended) with the sculptured keycap angle(s) of SA provides all the natural tilt I need for comfortable typing.
Post by: Zylkan on Thu, 16 November 2017, 13:32:45
To be fair, you have to have a very high WPM to understand the SA keysets. The feel is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical typing, most of the keystrokes will go over a typical keeb'ers head. There's also MiTo's superior designing, which is deftly woven into SA's characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from K3's cap making, for instance. The SA fans understand this stuff; they have the typing capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these keysets, to realize that they're not just "a keyset"- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike SA keysets truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the feeling of clackery in MiTo's existencial catchphrase "MiTo signing off, goodbye Geekhack," which itself is a cryptic reference to the terror that SA owners had to live in, during the "DCS time". I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Pulse's genius design unfolds itself under their fingers. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Godspeed tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the clackers' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 WPM of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. :rolleyes:

I'd hate it if it weren't for my wooden wrist rest, but it seems most people here are using rests. What don't y'all like about it? My caps don't feel particularly wobbly. At the end of the day, my FC660C probably felt better overall, but I couldn't customize that thing like I can my WASD Code 60, so I took a little bit of a form over function hit, but I like the feel of my current keeb just fine

I like the look of SA. I do wish someone would make the same thick smooth/shiny plastic for a DCS set of the same quality. I also wish they would do something more like a "row 3" shaped full set or maybe a little less sculpted. Hitting those R1 skyscrapers are odd.Godspeed Cockpit is 2-2-3-3-3, which has been quite nice to use for now.

Am I the only one that didn't have trouble typing on SA? I was surprised that people had trouble, I understand it but I didn't fall into that. SA is probably the reason I really dove into this hobby with how they completely change how a board looks and nothing really compares to them. If a better spherical layout comes out (and actually looks pretty) then I may cross over, but till that day I am going to try and get my favorite color ways into SA lol.So I had no issue with SA until recently.
Typing on linears: SA is fine for me. But when switching to a tactile switch; I can't stand em. Having the bump at the top of the keypress makes the wobble way worse for me and I end up double pressing way more often.

To be honest I've never tried to compare. With every TMX keyboard I've ever bought, I immediately pulled off the stock caps and put on SA sets. Since I can't stand cylindrical keycaps, I would never know how they feel on Topre switches. With that in mind, I can only say that I really like the feel of Topre's tactility with SA (and MT3).
