New in box piece of crap
« on: Sat, 20 July 2013, 06:52:36 »
Picked up this cheap in box Chinese buckling spring that some here will probably recognise as being f'n awful, only bought due to being new and probably how many of these were destroyed in fits of rage at how bad they are.

Here is a better gallery

And here is an audio recording of how loud it is

I had one of those once, with a clear/translucent case. It was not all that terrible, but it was no IBM.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Keys are louder than a Model M13, some of the keys stick and others are easier to press down, utterly inconsistent.

That's actually pretty cool. Some day I'd like to try a non-IBM buckling spring, just to see what it's like.

I've used IBM, Alps and this keyboard style buckling spring. IBM still the best. Alps second.
