Do you buy clacks for your keyboards or keyboards

Which is it?

Also are MX browns even worthy of having clacks on them?

Do you type on your clacks?

Both.

No.

Yes.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Normally if i pick up a Clack or Bro it helps me determine which keysets i want to grab in the future, but never a whole board.

Maybe if like i scooped a BS cap and didnt own a BS board
don't come to my funeral, there wont be one

Normally it's buying CC for keyboard of course. But in Clackvent, I won a BS CC. I need to look for a BS board one day.

Boards are usually cheaper than Clacks.

Nah, I don't think people ever buy keyboards for their clacks. It might sound like a reasonable thing to do because of the cost of a clack, but most people end up searching for clacks that fit into the scheme of their keyboard, and rarely the other way around.
