Noob question- dont laugh!
« on: Mon, 16 September 2013, 17:25:00 »
So, I need to know. What is a "clack"? I always figured it was just slang for a keycap but lately I'm not sure if its means something more or not and I must know!

Also, who here uses o rings on their keyboard?

1) A clack is when a group of keyboard enthusiasts with too much money stand in a circle and reach down and to the left. Vigorously.
2) I use o-rings as cock rings because my penis is tiny and makes far too much noise when it hits bottoms

"Clack" is also what we call the sound when a key hits the bottom, hard.

Actually I'm working on a "Things people getting into mech keyboards should know" writeup which will cover such questions :)
I wanted to test a new board but had nothing to type, so I figured doing something that helps "noobs" around here would be good.

-> Still have to add some stuff, and I'm looking for someone to proof-read it (English is not my native lingo...). Someone wanna help?

i use o-rings on my blue switches for the office. it helps a lot. for me most noise comes from bottoming out rather than the "click" of the blue.

also it makes the throw shorter which is kind of cool.

"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

Some Clacks on a keyboard:



Now the only question that remains is... what the heck is a "girlshark" and a "wizbro"?

I am one of only a handful of GH'ers who have actually seen the girlshark wizbro in person at KeyCon 2013.  All I can say is s/he is awesome.  Beyond that, there are not words, only eternal truth, sublime beauty, and ultimate experience.  Or was it sublime truth, ultimate beauty, and eternal experience?  I am still a bit bedazzled, tbh.
I ♥ Click Clack.  I ♥♥♥ Bro Caps.
