N=481. Avg Age 28.2 (Anyone 30+ is officially Old and Obsolete at Geekhack).

This should be moved to the Polls Subforum.

Just under the wire. I'm 27, and so far do not have any keyboards older than I am.
i have seen unix admins with john deere trucker hats, and even seen a man in a nascar shirt correct a passerby's klingon.

I really suspected 80% to be 30+ ( maybe late 20's ) based on the favoritism of browns I've seen. I also figure that the average age of gamers these days is late 20's to early 30's ( the NES generation )


For some reason the Browns strike me as the " More mature blues"  based on some opinionated posts in here.

Just turned 33 here.  Ain't no shame in this game.

I imagine that since the Black Widow hit the market it's been good sales for all kinds of formerly business/typists  keyboard manufacturers in the Western world.

Which also brings more gamers.... and as we all know , Gamers are teenage kids sitting in moms basement  looking like my Avatar.

I'm 22, hitting 23 early next year. Truth be told, I don't want to get any older. Aging can stop right here and I'd be perfectly happy, haha.

EDIT: I'd also like to add that my interest in mechanical keyboards comes not from gaming. Honestly, I game very little and when I do it consists of Minecraft and WoW. No, I came here in search of a keyboard that's durable and comfortable enough to hammer out hundreds and thousands of lines of HTML, CSS, and Objective-C.

I'm in better shape at 32 than I was at 23, and I'm a whole lot smarter and make a ****-ton more money.  I wouldn't want to be any younger.


My GF (25 at the time) and I (30 at the time) got memberships at a gym.  For new members, they give you an hour with a personal trainer to determine your "physical age."  I had a physical age of 24, she had a physical age of 26.  She was not happy.

Well I'll just have to wait and see if my 30's are that great, I certainly hope they'll be. Some people really start falling apart around 30 or so.

I treat those like forum gamers saying they are a girl.  Voice verification or it's a dude.   And if she's willing to get on voice chat with some strange dude to prove it then I would be concerned about that type of personality.

GH'ers under 18 should have a symbol or some type of indicator on their avatar so people don't say something that gets them banned for telling a minor that they are a douche.

Minors can be douches.

The only problem is that there are adults that act like minors.

Yes, but the saving grace is that those adults will be tried as adults and suffer the wrath that minors ore obviously exempt from.

I'm still surprised at the large number of peeps in their 20's on this site. No way in my 20's would anything like GH have had my interest:
- it's not girls
- it doesn't fly at the speed of sound
- can't be eaten

In fairness, my involvement here is primarily (I have gotten sidetracked from time to time) the Kinesis project I've been monkeying around with for 2 years that FINALLY has 95% of the info/work done.
