If that is silly then using a mechanical keyboard to type forum posts seems silly, right? : P
Use what you like for what you enjoy. Nice video.

Video is great. They had that keyboard at hand since its freddie's own keyboard or at least he has it in front of him in most behind the scenes.

Also he uses Logitech Trackball Marble (seen in some other video).

Why is it silly? It uses keyboard input, and mechanicals are generally considered the superior input device. I fail to see why it's silly to use a superior quality product (even if it is razer, but that's a whole different debate) to play a game that you enjoy.

I know now that freddy uses it the most but thats just my view. I never noticed it until that video that he uses a blackwidow..

I use my DAS for minecraft... >_>

Thats what I thought since I've always interpreted freddie as the "gamer". I see The other one as a leecher since you always see freddie editing the videos while the other guy just talks about it most of the time. He shows you the end result of a certain edit.

True since it's literally the slimmest keyboard out there?

I always saw not Freddie (Brandon?) as more of the CG guy. This seems to lend to that idea when you notice the heavy CG in minecraft massacre. Also, who the hell actually uses the pulse setting on the Blackwidow?

Lol he prob turned it on for the video and well most of the time freddie is doing most the stuff since hes got more experience from what I know (he started when he was like 8 I think) he was reminiscing what he used to do to edit back when he didn't have all the fancy things he has now.

I just wish the Apple Aluminum multimedia controls would work with Win7.

Rip, in WinXP, all my media controls work after remapping with AutoHotKey, food for thought.

Brendan · « **Reply #12 on:** Thu, 10 November 2011, 08:18:55 »

Similar, but I think I took the easy way out and mapped F7-F9 as universal media keys lol. I will try sharp keys because Print Screen is the function I'm missing on the TKL Apple board. No scan codes for me either, sorry.

Somehow the keys work even without remapping. Foobar recognizes the commands even without the script, hmm.

laffindude · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 10 November 2011, 13:25:26 »

So FN is done in OS? Sounds like what Apple would do.

laffindude · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 10 November 2011, 14:15:22 »

Agreed. Linux can read the FN key, then something must be sent over USB.

Brendan · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 10 November 2011, 22:46:34 »

I'm an idiot. I just realized I had mapped the keys inside foobar so they'd work even without the AHK script. For me, I only get the F-keys, I don't get a code for fn or eject.
