Who's Reveivw's do You Read and Respect?
« on: Thu, 30 January 2014, 09:33:43 »
Good Day
 Just want to post a question out here, what  magazine’s / web site’s (Geek Hack seems to be the best for personal reviews to me so far) reviews do you use to help you gather information and help focus on your information to assist you in making purchasing decision on PC equipment in general and keyboards in specific.
 Please say a little on why you trust this resource/ resources and what is it you look for in a good review because an enthusiast looks at thing like reviews very differently than the average consumer and it would be good to learn from an enthusiast.
Thank you for any responses offered!

Specifically speaking of keyboards I've had the bad habit of just buying things to try them.

So much about keyboards is personal preference/opinion sometimes it can be hard to make any decision unless you try it yourself but realistically that isn't an option all the time.

I do enjoy reading reviews from members here who can compare what they are reviewing to something I've already tried and usually reviews here will have photos of the details that can be hard to see in press/advertisement photos.

Pretty much this. You can take 2 so-called experts of approximately equal experience and knowledge and their opinions might be 180 degrees opposite.

If you like small keyboards, then ignore whatever people who like large keyboards say, and vice versa.

Is a sports car better than a pickup truck? Are sneakers better than boots?

If you can find someone whose needs and desires are similar to your own, that is the opinion you should value.
"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."
