Title: LED's vs Extra keys
Post by: QuincyJones on Sun, 26 June 2016, 09:33:13: Quick survey. Given same quality of materials (whatever they be) for the same price, would you rather have:

1/ basic keyboard layout with f keys, a numpad and arrow keys
2/ basic keyboard layout no 'f' keys, no arrows or numpad BUT WITH MOFO LED's. YEAH LEDS!!!111oneone

Please just answer "1" or "2". Your opinion is important to us.

Also, no ****ing blinkenlights.

Why would I want some sort of half-finished keyboard that's missing about half the keys?

I think he's actually obsessed with boards full of LEDs and by portraying them in a negative light hopes to score a deal on someone selling a used one due to his inane ranting.

Seriously how many of his recent comments are talking about how LEDs suck? 5? 6?
