Title: Pimp my keyboard
Post by: l1nk333 on Tue, 28 July 2015, 08:55:13

Hi guys
So im going to get a gaming pc by christmas but I want to get a cheap keyboard, like 5 euros or something, because most of my budget will go into the pc itself.
Is it possible to make some mods to a 5€ keyboard , making it better in terms of use ?

The mod is called "saving", in order to do that you keep money on the side. After a while you'll have enough money to buy a decent keyboard.

Alternatively, there is "searching" and with diligence and patience you might get lucky. 2nd-hand and salvage shops are a good place to start.

Perfect response.

I expect these sorts of questions/threads on something like 4chan, but GH?

Or look through dumpsters and/or thrift shops in your area - you might get lucky.

No we have been the rude ones.

This forum is generally not using rubberdome nor modding it.

Maybe there's mod for it but never heard of it. hence the advice to save money.

I agree, though spending 5€ isn't really much if you think about how the keyboard and mouse will be your main sources of interaction with the PC. I'd advise saving for a good keyboard. Just get a cheap one for now.
