Title: Noob question- dont laugh!
Post by: PilotChup on Mon, 16 September 2013, 17:25:00
So, I need to know. What is a "clack"? I always figured it was just slang for a keycap but lately I'm not sure if its means something more or not and I must know!

Also, who here uses o rings on their keyboard?

 ^-^

1) A clack is when a group of keyboard enthusiasts with too much money stand in a circle and reach down and to the left. Vigorously.
2) I use o-rings as cock rings because my penis is tiny and makes far too much noise when it hits bottoms

"Clack" is also what we call the sound when a key hits the bottom, hard.

Actually I'm working on a "Things people getting into mech keyboards should know" writeup which will cover such questions :)
I wanted to test a new board but had nothing to type, so I figured doing something that helps "noobs" around here would be good.

-> Still have to add some stuff, and I'm looking for someone to proof-read it (English is not my native lingo...). Someone wanna help?

i use o-rings on my blue switches for the office. it helps a lot. for me most noise comes from bottoming out rather than the "click" of the blue.

also it makes the throw shorter which is kind of cool.

Some Clacks on a keyboard:

Now the only question that remains is... what the heck is a "girlshark" and a "wizbro"?

I am one of only a handful of GH'ers who have actually seen the girlshark wizbro in person at KeyCon 2013.  All I can say is s/he is awesome.  Beyond that, there are not words, only eternal truth, sublime beauty, and ultimate experience.  Or was it sublime truth, ultimate beauty, and eternal experience?  I am still a bit bedazzled, tbh.
