Mechanical Keyboard FAQ on PCWorld
« on: Tue, 18 October 2011, 09:50:26 »
I was alerted to a Mechanical Keyboard FAQ on PCWorld by the Das Keyboard twitter, and thought you may want to take a look at it, mainly to see if they stole content from here. I noticed that they use the switch GIFs, but they attribute them to Castin Cramer. I was wondering if that was an accurate attribution.

Oh wow, You're a Cramer ?  I thought I saw someone else say they were bored one day and created them.

Editor here.

If I had taken them without attribution, this would be the post where I say "and we would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids".

Thanks again for the images!

Wow, good FAQ. I'll read it in more detail later. Also, the attribution is excellent. It continually surprises me how much journalistic work does not attribute sources. (Now, I know some of the sources don't wont to be attributed, but still)

Keep it up, it's great!

I posted this earlier in my subforum.

Technically that makes this a double post but I won't report it.

And yes, in RL I'm Castin Cramer.

Yeah, I noticed it was posted there after I threw it up, but I decided not to delete it so that all the members who don't browse your sub because they don't like you could still see it.

Very interesting @ sound measurements. Though, I do think you're over emphasizing the difference in decibels and not enough on the tonality. Blue's sharp click are infinitely more annoying than the rest of the noise mechanical keyboard makes despite the mere 2db difference in measurement. I am sure some likes the click, but for the rest of us, it is cruel and unusual punishment.
