My coworkers think I have a problem, and that I spend too much money on it. I tell them only so many Korean customs get made every year, so it's a manageable hobby.

I've converted most of my IT coworkers to mechanical boards, now.  Though, none seem to like linear - I'm all alone with my reds.  They've grown fond of their browns and refuse to change.

Non-IT coworkers...well they can't understand how I type on blanks.  The thought process that you can remember where keys are by muscle memory goes beyond their logic.

"it feels like any other keyboards..... my macbook pro feels so much better"
which keyboard was it?

KBTalking Pro, the bluetooth one, with Clear stems and 62g korean springs and lubed. also i painted the case to bright yellow.
so the macbook pro keyboard feels better than lubed ergo clears? what a bullsh!t.

Right? They both equally suck.

There's this one guy at work that every time I bring something new in (different keyboard, new keycaps) he says that if I hadn't spent all my money on keyboards I could have bought a good new games rig.

And I'm like ... ... ... yeah.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Strange that I saw this thread right after my boss commented my keyboard (HHKB) is ugly and I should ditch it and use the one on the MacBook Air. If only he knew how much it is, he'd flipped!

You get off the topic more than I do damilk. you really don't have a reason to restate the title. Plus I'm not 100% off topic, I'm still talking about things average people say about keyboard related items

keyboard related items

clacks are used on keyboards. People say things about clacks. It doesn't 100% apply to the title, but then again when is every single post in a topic on topic 100%? You're nit picking on a trivial issue. Clacks are a pretty big part of keyboards. GeekHack's logo is keyboard enthusiasts, and many geekhackers are also enthusiastic about clacks that go on keyboards.

I don't see how this is not on topic to warrant that much criticism and nitpicking.  Someone walking by a keyboard and seeing a plastic skull on it could well comment in a similar manner after finding out how much said plastic skull goes for.  I don't see how it's any different than

Photoelectric is my new 2nd favorite mod. Only jdcarpe holds #1 :thumb:

But seriously do what you preach. You tell me to stay on topic but I stay just as and even more on topic than some other people whom you did not nitpick at

A senior software engineer at work asked me : "Oh wow... How do you know where the keys are?"  (blank caps)...  Something is worrying about that right?
does working around dumb****s worry you?

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.
