Come on, who is going to wash their hands every single time they use their personal keyboard? I do in fact wash my hands many times a day nonetheless. PP just seems to disappear on me and I am actually pretty clean. Shiny abs would be more of a spoiled thing imo.
I'm just judging from how most of my friends's keebs look when I visit them: like they've been dragged through mud. (The keebs, I mean, not the friends... Well, not
all of the friends.) And I think (but don't say), "Yick, dude, how can you
live like that? But I don't think they notice, because the grime accumulates so gradually.
Anyway, no, I don't expect anyone to wash their hands before they sit down to type.
I like to, though, because I like the feeling of clean fingers on a clean keeb. It shows respect for my writing and work, and I enjoy taking good care of my stuff in general. So I guess it's just me.
Spoiled? No most of us just don't like to type on trash plastic. Maybe most of us are just used to quality keycaps? But Honestly when the $30...yes $30 dollar for the ENTIRE keyboard velocifire comes with nicer keycaps(Medium thick doubleshot translucent ABS) than the logitech does...hell most cheap chinese boards do now...there is simply no excuse. Stop fanboying for Logitech and just admit the Keycaps are some of the worst on the market. Outside of the horrible printing method they feel like typing on plastic used to make knockoff GI JOE soldiers sold at dollar stores. Perhaps that is acceptable to you? But to me and most anyone else on an enthusiast forum it is not. The key difference here is on an MX stem you can replace them...since this is ROmer G you are stuck with the stock trash... The complete lack of quality is simple inexcusable at every possible level.
LOL—it just shows you how subjective this all is.
The keys on my G710 feel fine to me. As long as they're in good shape—not grimy or scratched or whatever—
all KB keys feel fine to me. I
do notice how switches feel, and how boards sound and respond to typing. But what kind of plastic the keys are made of, or if they're textured or not, or whatever, meh. It's like sitting down at a piano and agonizing over the kind of plastic the keys are made of. It's a lot more important how the piano plays and sounds, IMHO, how it responds as an instrument.
And hey, how about all these fancy "artisan" keys some of you guys shell out hundreds of bucks for, with little skull faces and trolls and dragons and stuff? Now
those look uncomfortable.
Are you seriously telling me that typing on some flat, smooth, "cheap" ABS keys is
less comfortable than typing on something like those? Even if one or two of them
didn't cost as much as the whole board? Yeesh. Maybe I'm not masochistic enough to be a "real" KB enthusiast. :?)
