Political correctness is a *****.
Also total bull****, if you are easy to offend you should just shut the **** up and deal with other people having opinions.
I'm gonna start a ****storm probably, but what other genders are there besides male and female?There's a difference between (biological) sex and gender (identity). The sex doesn't really matter for the survey, but what a persons thinks of itself what gender it has can make a difference. Other genders include Agender, Transgender, etc.

I'm gonna start a ****storm probably, but what other genders are there besides male and female?This is a perfectly fine honest question. There’s nothing wrong with not knowing something and asking about it.

To some extent, I think a lot of the controversy about the subject is about miscommunication and differing use of the same terms. Sometimes people on both sides of these controversies intentionally misconstrue statements from the other side by imposing their own meanings for words, trying to spin definitional differences as logical contradictions, as an underhanded rhetorical strategy.
But if you want to have productive conversations about such topics, you should first make the effort to understand what people are saying. Most of the time they’re not trying to deny your “opinion”, but just wish you would listen to them for a little bit instead of reflexively lashing out with insults. And if you don’t want to have productive conversations, what’s the point?
I have tried so many times to talk to people in my area about this but everyone here is so defensive that conversation is impossible. People have actually tried to sue because questionnaires created by students at my HS only included male and female as options for gender. Every time its brought up people yell political correctness, discrimination, and then call their lawyers.Stuff like that really makes me sick. That's what political correctness and 'muh feelings' gets you.

(Though personally, I think “political correctness” is an awful term, which was mostly popularized by right wing pundits and talkshow hosts as something to whine about when people told them they were being *******s and they didn’t have any substantive responses.)
I made a little community survey for /r/MechanicalKeyboards. Since I see many of you commenting there, I think it might be interesting for you to fill it out if you haven't noticed it already.
The purpose of this survey is to see how the community might have changed since previous polls (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/wiki/subscriber_polls). It is not my intention to gauge any market interest or product viability, though some of the data could be used for that. I just enjoying looking at graphs and charts.

Anyway, back on topic..I tried to stay close to the questions from the March 2014 survey (http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/2037i3/the_rmechanicalkeyboards_march_2014_survey/) to be able to compare the resultsI made a little community survey for /r/MechanicalKeyboards.

First, everyone should note that self-selected surveys like this are usually extremely poor measures of real populations, because the self selection dramatically skews responses.
But anyway, there are some questions you could improve.
- you should break down ages more evenly and add more categories. You seem to be trying to make a distinction between high school and college students with the break at 18, but age isn’t the best proxy for that, and having different sized age buckets makes it needlessly difficult to compare ages. I think you should just do 5 year age buckets from 10 up to say 60, and then maybe have a catch-all beyond that.
- No BSD, etc.?I was under the impression, the vast majority people are using Windows, but a (at least to me) surprising amount of people prefer Linux. I tried running PC-BSD some time ago and had trouble with drivers. I think for desktop systems, BSD distributions lack some hardware support and I guess many prefer OS X which sits atop a BSD userland. Also, not a single person added a BSD via the other field.
- Would be interesting to do a survey on typing technique a bit finer grained than 2 finger vs. touch typing vs. other. Probably going to take about 10–20 questions about it to get a decent summary of everyone’s different technique though.
- Preferred keyboard brand list doesn’t really include vintage stuffAnother of the brand questions is that I should've let people make multiple choices instead of having to settle on a specific one.
- preferred layout should probably at least include japanese layout. “Ergonomic” is a pretty broad category, as is “custom”. Maybe those should have text fields.I was looking into japanese layouts, but wasn't able to determine the most often used one. I tried not to add too many options to the questions to make the form a bit more clear and solve "edge cases" via Other-options.
- switch types question is super limited, with way too heavy an MX focus. Would be interesting to give people a list of maybe 40 types of switches, with options for “love it”, “like it”, “meh”, “hate it”, and “haven’t tried” (or similar) for each one. Seriously, not even a distinction between Model M & F, or a beam spring option? You’d get crucified at Deskthority. :PI was thinking about doing something like this, but I didn't find a way to do this with Google Forms.
- you might want to credit me in linking that keycap profile reference pic, or link the geekhack thread about it (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=68550). :-) also, the list of choices is pretty incomplete.Sorry, I only later added the reference and forgot the attribution. My bad.
- whether someone should elevate their keyboard depends on desk height, so is circumstantial. also, your question doesn’t accommodate tented split keyboards, reverse slope keyboards, etc.This would definitely have been interesting additions. Though, they would've made the survey even longer than it already is. Originally, I included some more question, but decided to remove them to keep it a little shorter to not overwhelm people.
- you should add a question about laptops and keyboard use, and another question about using keyboards on desk vs. lap.

The number of flipped space bars is way too low for my taste. You really should give it a try, it's way more comfortable.
Why am I in the low percentile in most of the results????
Oh yeah, I'm not a 15 year old obsessed whatever everyone says its the best. :p

That is an interesting question. From time to time, my preference shift between all three.
and the fact that a very large percentage of users were in high school. Certainly a minority hereWhy am I in the low percentile in most of the results????

Definitely not. As evidenced by the PBT circlejerk (yet doubleshot preferred), OEM as preferred keycap profile, SP and Vortex being the favorite cap manufacturers, MX Blues the favorite switch, ~60% owning only 1-2 keyboards, Ducky, Cooler Master, and Vortex being the tops for boards, 83% reporting a happy wallet, and almost exclusively Massdrop group buys.
Considering that r/MK community is larger than GH's...
It is a very interesting survey. Thank you for sharing the information. Considering that r/MK community is larger than GH's, it is very interesting to see that people there are also younger.Thanks :)

Being a reddit.com member and clicking "Subscribe" on a particular subreddit doesn't really make someone a member of that community, in my opinion. A certain founder of r/MK just likes to tout raw numbers, with no real meaning behind them.

Why do people buy all them duckies.. it has such a crummy logo.. I guess there is the convenience of thick-pbts built in..I think most people buy them because of the backlighting as well as their reputation.
Still... That logo is dumb..
Hahahaha.. I bet all the people with 6 or more keyboards were from GH.

I don't get the hate towards /r/MK. Its a good forum, the reddit threadvoting system is far better to navigate than the forum software used here, and people are generally helpful.The biggest problem with the upvote system for is that it's nice for things like sharing pictures, but threads that may require extended visibility time can't get that time because there's no way to consistently get enough votes to stay in a place of visibility for more than a day or two.

Agreed with this 100%. I use Reddit every day but it's not what I would call a great community. The geekhack bashing and lack of original content is what eventually had me unsubbing, gets pretty boring seeing the same stock boards again and again.I don't get the hate towards /r/MK. Its a good forum, the reddit threadvoting system is far better to navigate than the forum software used here, and people are generally helpful.
I'm fine with 90% of it. I just have a problem with the mindset that ripping off other people's work is fine and the asinine hatred of Geekhack and ridiculous claims of brigading. It also gets very very repetitive with little truly new and innovative content. When it does pop up, it's really interesting, but it's gone before you know it.
Reddit isn't really a good platform for proper discussion or knowledge generation though. As hwood said, it's not conducive to really giving threads additional time and generating larger responses since content is so fleetingly seen. It's great for sharing media and quick, simple questions, but nothing really deeper. That and the wiki is a hot mess over there.
I'm surprised that the majority of people come to MK for modifications. Maybe they mixed up modifications and keyboard "art?"You mean swapping random caps isn't modding your keyboard?
