Pretend to be a noob
« on: Fri, 14 June 2013, 16:36:29 »
We were all noobs once, some worse than others. That doesn't make it less fun to joke about.



Hey geekhack I just want to know what is the best keyboard and money doesn't matter because my dad doesn't know I have his credit card its a topper right

Hey, I'm in a hurry, so I can't really bother to read the OP, can I open these switches without desoldering anything?

Is Topre better than MX? It's more expensive, so it must be, right?

I heard Topre is the best, but you can't game on it.

I want to desolder some switches, I need a Hakko, right?

Who or what is OP?

I turned my mx switches into super smooth toprah switches by adding petroleum jelly in all my switches and the best part, now my hands are soft and everything is really quiet!

Also if I spill coke on my keyboard again it helps them be waterproof.

And don't even try to argue with me because I know I'm right.

I'd like to go mechanical, but I really can't see myself spending anything over $30.  Please help me find the perfect keyboard to fit my life!!!

P.S. I have a saitek eclipse iii that I love but it would be nice if the letters didn't wear off.

I'm new. I want a fullsize board, aluminum case, wireless and full LEDs. My budget is $50.

I hear Korean gold springs are the best. Especially in vintage black switches lubed with an oil mixed with a grease.

Topre don't even provide polling rate adjustment.  That will probably hurt your APM.
