Twerk team presents: Big Filco giveaway! [CLOSED]

[lyrill]

Ahh it's lyrill, he had been raging ever since his arrival in Geekhack, and I happened to witness one of his first: he's posting how he hates green switches, someone then offered a trade with him. Feeling a strong urge to protect his own dignity as a buyer and his respect to the product, he gave the following speech:

first off, it's rare and there is a reason i don't sell any of my stuff. i buy them for a reason and even if i don't like them as much as I wanted to, I am sure as an individual that respect the product being made I am not ignorant and arrogant enough like many other uneducated folks out there and simply go as far as to express their personal approval or disapproval to certain keyboards or claim they will never use this or they will never like that. now it sounds like you assume I did that, but I didn't.

I have not used it much, but through posting about it I feel the obligation to use it more. Yes it is kind of hyped, but it is an alternative that is rarely available when you want it. When we talk about different switches we go online and see what people have to say about it, or we try ourselves. How many people actually have their original uncontaminated opinions about key switches? Even if they have actually owned it to whatever degree, it doesn't mean they really have individual experience off of it. They may or may not approach certain keyboards with pre-assumptions, and therefore their user experiences may change.

In my case, I was pretty stoked about green switches, but as a calm person I did not smash it or post a sale right after my medicore/terrible first impression.

How much are you willing to pay for it though? I understand as a buyer nobody wants to pay for open box item at full price. But as someone who is not interested in selling, that's what I would want if someone wants it badly. See, the item is worth more for me than for others? Then I don't want to sell it. I already paid what was worth for me, and there is no reason to lose the difference and go through all the process of buying and selling, without gaining anything but I don't like Greens. That's just sad, some people may say it's better than keeping it without using it, but I am not broke yet and it's obvious that people who own multiple mech keyboards shouldn't need to sell keyboards unless they really want something else and can't get the cash around to do so.

TLDR: i don't sell stuff i bought. if you want it, consider yourself lucky I don't ask a higher price than MSRP.

Well now and then there would be these kind of people, world is big so -------------------------------- Don't really care about them much :S

world is also big enough that when I argued with some cherry white fanatic on another forum, the moderators and the old members there posted and appreciated my love for cherry reds and kindly explained to me that cherry whites were considered the best for veteran typists, without them I would not have opened my deck legend to try again,

if the world is small enough to be filled with people only like you and the likes of you, I would not have a chance to be a more objective person, or at least with facilitation--but oh wait, you don't care.

I know, that's the problem you see, people can't trust each other anymore, they have to live in fake bubbles they wrap themselves in because they are not ok with candid discussion that mean exactly what is said and no harms done.

Jesus bunny you're too kind! I wouldn't accept your offer even if I were short of money, but in fact I'm without a mech because I'm waiting to build the perfect board. I've got everything here waiting except for the phantom pcb and tek-80.

I very much appreciate your offer though. It just shows how much love there is in this community <3
