WASD Announcement

[Dihedral]

No, this isn't real?

If we tried to think up a joke announcement it couldn't have been better than this. Have WASD confused March with April?

[Touch_It]

Lol, I was actually excited, but this is beyond unexciting.  HEY HEY HEY GUYS  lets put one of the worst Cherry switches into an existing keyboard and hype the crap out of it!

[Dihedral]

From WASD's website:

'Distinct tactile bump'

HAHALOLNO

[jdcarpe]

one of the worst cherry switch

The absolute worst being blues

[Lu_e]

Disappointing

[inanis]

I had no idea there was such demand for a Code with Browns. 


Browns are the worst.

We will have to agree to disagree here .  But I have yet to try a lot of Cherry switches.

[CPTBadAss]

How could browns be the worst guys? It's "tactical". They're tactical switches with tactical feedback. It's like you're literally in the Army 

[katushkin]

Wait, is it 9am PST already? Browns was their big announcement?

Christ.

[Yslen]

I actually like browns...  < ducks for cover >

Not ordering one though, shipping/import to UK is nuts. Need a reseller over here.

[jdcarpe]

Browns are tacticool.

[VivaGardner]

How do you all not like Brown or Blue switches? 

[Touch_It]

How do you all not like Brown or Blue switches?

I like blues.  While I don't hate Browns the bump is only noticeable enough imo so it neither feels tactile or linear.  Some weird hybrid that is confused.

People have done "blind and deaf" tests where they used blues and browns without the ability to hear the audible click of the blues, and could not distinguish between the two. I believe Binge did this test, if I remember correctly.

I could see that.  I'm also on record somewhere saying that a switch click certainly adds to the overall experience of the switch.  Moar clicky = moar better.

How can you even defend MX Blues when you've used a Model F?? Blasphemy.

It is.  Would it help if I said I only tried mx Blues in best buy and own no boards with them.  Nothing compares honestly.  Not even my unicomp m I'm using right now

[nubbinator]

This announcement it's like being told a hot girl wants to go to prom with you only to find out it's your first cousin.  Tons of anticipation followed by shattered dreams.

[Dee1]

I actually like browns...  < ducks for cover >

Heh. I like them too.

I'm not sure why they needed an announcement for their announcement though. They're just browns.

This is exactly my thoughts. I really like browns. But it's nothing to make a big deal about.

[strain67]

I'm so excited for this announcement unlike everyone else. I've been stuck for months looking for this exact keyboard and it is finally out. I just ordered 4 of them. AMA

Just in case the first 3 break.

One for home, one for work, one for his mistress's apartment, and one for his boyfriend's apartment, obviously.

Fair enough

[yomammary]

That can't be it...

[a_ak57]

Man, have they been hanging out with Valve or something?  Guess that's what I get for being hopeful it'd be a PBT announcement.

[SpAmRaY]

You guys are missing the point here....it was a P.B.T. announcement....Precise Brown Tactical

[dante]

Haters will laugh at WASD.

WASD will laugh all the way to the bank.

[metalliqaz]

You guys are missing the point here....it was a P.B.T. announcement....Precise Brown Tactical

I think you mean "Tactile"

[KHAANNN]

browns seem like reds with a hint of friction

code case is compatible with v2's by the way

I agree. Have used blue and brown switches, the click makes the board more enjoyable and more tactile.

[jdcarpe]

Hahaha. "The click makes it more tactile."

I think you mean tacticool.

EDIT: The #HYPE is dead. R.I.P WASD PBT.

[rowdy]

Was that it?

Here I am, a day late finally going through the keyboard threads, and thought there was something really cool that I'd missed.
