Title: KangarooZombies Reviews?
Post by: KangarooZombies on Thu, 01 August 2013, 17:07:45

So... For quite some time ive been toying with the idea of starting to review the keyboards I purchase (And maybe video games??).
I know its been done a million times, but I figured why not give it a shot...

To kick it off I did a really simple, short review.

Dont hate me,

I like shorter reviews, specially when comparing things. 5 pages long when you are going to read 4 reviews gets tiresome.

I  think that if you made 'sections' like 'feel', 'key caps' and the like would be better.

Good review :)

As a pointer.. make some headers so we can quickly glance at it and see what content is in the article. I know its short, but it'll still help.

I don't like short reviews because I feel like you just get what amounts to a forum post without anything substantial. As someone who writes for a hobby, I despise the TL:DR ****. I'm not saying this about *THIS* article, just responding to your post.

Related to this article, I feel like it was a nice summary but could've had way more information/opinion in it. Definitely a good start if you're going to build on it or post other reviews though.

I also write as a hobby. Short stories :P

I think the vast majority of TL:DR things are crap indeed. Shorter texts sometimes get to the point quicker. Like in this case: a short post that conveys that it is a decent (at least) keyboard with some quirks.
