Stuff People Say When You Say You Collect Keyboards

[3K]

When I showed my new Ducky:
>That's pretty nice! But is it worth the 50€ ... ?
>150€ ...

Buddy at first said that it was stupid that I paid $90 for mine (V60 from massdrop) and then when I took it to a LAN he said he liked it and was looking into getting a mech.  Dunno if he's looked more tho.  Generally it's everything else thats been said; "you paid how much?", "how is that any different?", " why is it so small?", etc.

"How many is enough?"

"How many is enough?"

Invalid question. Should be, "how many are left?"

Whenever a package arrives in my name: "It's another one of his keyboard things *sigh*"

[inanis]

Usually I get "I don't get it".

Example:

Guy: What are you doing?
Me: Swapping out the 45g springs in my Gateron's with some 65g gold springs.
Guy: I don't get it.
Me: It makes it feel better to type on.
Guy: Yeah, I just don't get it.

"Why?" --> "So I can post in threads circlejerking about the reactions people give me"

A guy I work with has an SSK, so he's cool.

It has probably been a while since I last posted this jewel:

I feel ashamed when I see a grown up man say things like "...a sharp drop at the actuation point at around 2/3 - 3/4 way down the..."

Don't you have anything better to do with your life than yammering away on the minute details of a keyboard? I have both an M and an F that I picked up at goodwill for nothing 15 years ago and for the first time yesterday I googled about them and found 'enthusiast' (here an euphemism for retarded) websites where idiots bounce off the walls telling each other about the orgasms per second they have when using them. And 'using' is an overstatement with 90% of those morons. Most are busy opening them, cleaning the last atom of dirt off them, 'restoring' what doesn't need any restoration, 'upgrading', thinking of names for them, 'modding', taking photos, showing them off, in general jerking off about the clicky sensations and the superb accuracy of their typing and other general uber-dorkiness. What I never found there was anything useful to do with them, ie. actually program a computer.

Go type 'messenger lectures' in youtube and see what smart people look like, then kill yourself disassembling your One True Keyboard(TM) for the nth time and swallowing all the buckling springs.

And then mail one of your remaining model Fs to me.

Was this a Geekhack troll?

Was this a Geekhack troll?

It dates from several years back.

It has been suggested that it was from ripster himself, under an alias.

When the homies come over and see my Topre game is on point, they say "daaaaaaamn son, you copped that RF 87U 55g?!?! fo' real blud??! That's you?!"

I've worked in the same office for 3 years now. So far I've converted 32 people to mechanical keyboards. I get the normal "how much do they cost" question.

Two weeks ago:
Agent - My keyboard isn't working do we have a spare? (give him my 45g 87u)
Agent - This feels really nice. How much does it cost?
Me - Brand new $220.
Agent - WHAT? That's ridiculous!

One week ago same agent:
Agent - So do they come with a number pad?
Me - 

So he bought the Type Heaven because he didn't want to spend $220 on a realforce.
