Hopefully this won't end up like the free USB drive I was supposed to get a year ago.

My mother is going to be absolutely flabberghasted by the box of 20 keyboards that will inevitably arrive on her doorstep.

I have the pleasure of explaining to my boss two things:

1. Why I have 1000+ keycaps sitting on the kitchen table
2. Why I have 100 bubblemailers with addresses pre-assigned.

Did you make any profit off it? That's usually a good enough explanation for most people. Goes something like this:
"Why is there an 80 pound box on the porch?"
"Twenty bucks to be made."
"Jolly good then."

I don't intend to try to make profit off of it;I just like keyboards. They know that but they are a little bit un-technological so it takes a bit of clever wording to get them to either drop the subject or come to some level of understanding.

When I try to explain mechanical keyboards to my friends... it doesn't go well. I know where you're coming from. Thankfully, my family doesn't care provided I maintain some level of fiscal responsibility. Try big words. People get confused and go away.

Luckily I am not around my parents when I buy this ****; just coworkers. Coworkers are easy to convince that some hobbies are normal.

My friends are gamers, and actually admire some of our keyboards (there are a few of us amongst the group that have nice ones).

I'm with 'em until college in about a year. They're pretty cool with my internet buying/selling though, and I have no complaints at all. I've had a couple buddies try out my Leopold for a couple seconds, and the the reaction is always "Oooh, that's nice."

Yea, some people don't really recognize how often they use a computer to the point where they care about finding a good one.

it's even easier to explain to other gamers you know about a mech keyboard, as long as you're top dog just be like "yea this why i pwn u", yea it sounds stupid but look at the golf course, at every hole is a bit of one up man ship with golf clubs, same as any hobbie heh.
