Why do people buy all them duckies..  it has such a crummy logo..  I guess there is the convenience of thick-pbts built in..

Still... That logo is dumb..
I think most people buy them because of the backlighting as well as their reputation.

AFAIK, the caps of Ducky's backlit keyboards are ABS.

People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

Average page views relates more with traffic and with activity, than with membership. Forums are not the same, therefore they are not comparable, directly. At the end of the day, r/MK and GH may be the most active boards related with KBs. DT is a nice site but very low in traffic.

A few days ago I flipped my spacebar ... the world turned upside-down :D

What are the reasons you browse /r/MechanicalKeyboards?

I went to reddit a couple of times but it kept trying to get me to "register" so I bailed.

I don't get the hate towards /r/MK. Its a good forum, the reddit threadvoting system is far better to navigate than the forum software used here, and people are generally helpful.

The biggest problem with the upvote system for is that it's nice for things like sharing pictures, but threads that may require extended visibility time can't get that time because there's no way to consistently get enough votes to stay in a place of visibility for more than a day or two.

I'm fine with 90% of it.  I just have a problem with the mindset that ripping off other people's work is fine and the asinine hatred of Geekhack and ridiculous claims of brigading.  It also gets very very repetitive with little truly new and innovative content.  When it does pop up, it's really interesting, but it's gone before you know it.

Reddit isn't really a good platform for proper discussion or knowledge generation though.  As hwood said, it's not conducive to really giving threads additional time and generating larger responses since content is so fleetingly seen.  It's great for sharing media and quick, simple questions, but nothing really deeper.  That and the wiki is a hot mess over there.

Agreed with this 100%. I use Reddit every day but it's not what I would call a great community. The geekhack bashing and lack of original content is what eventually had me unsubbing, gets pretty boring seeing the same stock boards again and again.

It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I'm surprised that the majority of people come to MK for modifications.  Maybe they mixed up modifications and keyboard "art?"

You mean swapping random caps isn't modding your keyboard?
