Is it too difficult to just not troll people at all?

[awry]

awry, why the hate?  I tried, it really wasn't that hard, except it is out of stock.  That reminds me, need to add a note to the wiki about notifying the credit card company about an upcoming charge from a foreign country.

Since I tried, can I make assumptions?

Cheers!

 

I never aimed it at you. =]

I've been there a couple of times. Getting a credit card account there is a real pain in the ass. Wait, Sorry, am I allowed to say that?

Wow! I'm suprised that you censored yourself.

I was trying for the "incompetent debater"/"master debater" juxtaposition, but it fell into the ad hominem realm and that's just not appropriate.

People pay the big bucks for the dye sub thing, and not the PBT thing, right? That PBT argument obfuscates the real issue of why dye sub keys' asking price is so expensive; it's akin to arguing that people who buy a Model M Space Saving board are just paying too much for a mylar sheet board. They're not paying extra for the attribute you're highlighting.

I think the dye sub thing just by itself doesn't have any special value over doubleshot molding. Some people prefer the feel of PBT keys.
However PBT doubleshot keys don't exist, so dye sublimation is the second best alternative to achieve a good contrast.
However I still think that a set of keycaps are not worth the price of a Realforce keyboard.

I think the titaniums ones can justify the price
