Pretend to be veteran
« on: Thu, 01 August 2013, 09:38:59 »
Same spirit as "pretend to be noob" thread...Here are some examples to get you started:

"Working on a full set of DonkeyDong MX Milky Blue Clears with Green stems and some springs from some Topre switches I ripped apart (cry moar noobs) for my ergodox made entirely of CCs. Yeah, I know you're jelly."

"Anyone try the new hydraulic key switches? I really feel my fingers getting ripped. I'm working on my Touch of Death technique."

"I'm getting ready to propose to my girlfriend of more than 9 years. I'm thinking about getting her a ring with a Octopink MX Skull CC that has diamonds for eyes. Thinking about popping the question over a game of scrabble (time to bring out my custom PBT dyesub scrabble keycap set), and I thought about pre-loading her letter rack with M3 A1 R1 R1 Y4 M3 E1. Think she'll say yes???"

"shrugs. did you use the search feature?"

I think you'll find the springs in vintage greens are closer to the springs in vintage blues than the springs in vintage blues are.

CLEARLY you've never even been within a mile of Vintage Browns... The springs on those are like modern blacks but have more coils to increase polling rates... Better overall performance compared to anything else.

Back in 1984 when I was building the first Model F I considered making the case out of adamantium, but then settled on using mithril instead. The ones with mithril backplates are a lot harder to find nowadays.

What bothers me more than anything else is when new people get into mechanical keyboards and don't immediately go for beam springs or hall effects. They not only subject themselves to an inferior experience, but make the community as a whole look worse as well

Today I went to a keyboard shop and saw a guy with a kmac laughing at a guy with a phantom. The phantom owner was laughing at another guy with a filco who was laughing at another guy with a cm qfr who was chuckling at the guy looking at a razer blackwidow ultimate.

Everyone ignored the guy playing with a HHKB, which was placed in the aisle for rubber domes.

Two guys looking at keyboards with black switches, and one of them said, old vintage blacks are always better. The other guy said that lube can solve everything. The other guy replied, "ewww. why would you use KY jelly on that?"

Then I went to aisle number G81 and saw a moose standing there. It grunted and said something that sounded like, "MY!". I called animal control.

There was an entire aisle reserved for Click Clacks, and there was maybe 300 people there, squeezing to get in. The weird thing? There was only about 60 caps there, and it took up less than a quarter of one shelf.

I thought it was all pretty amusing, so I woke up and made a post about it on my ergodox.

That's merely silver.

Pff. Plebe, silver has the highest conductivity of all metals... Gold just HAPPENS to be the most stable and resistant to everything. Where's Sifo when you need him, we all know he has at least 7 gold cables lying around.

Obv I need to offer a optic cable made of diamond.

Also, it's not about what works better, it's about what's more elite, or expensive in this case.  Therefore gold > silver.

TIL You can't be elitist in an elitist thread.

I want an elitist cable.

He's down to 5, two were sacrificed to make more gold springs.

(...)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.

"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
