Winter Mechanical Keyboard Survey
« on: Mon, 01 February 2016, 21:30:16 »
Hi all,
6 months ago I did a mechanical keyboard survey that got around 700 responses.

I'm doing another one to see what has changed since then as the community grows! If you want to be a part of it, you can fill out your response here (should only take  1 or 2 minutes). All the results will be made public once the survey is over, no personal info required.

Thanks

Shame that buckling spring wasn't split into capacitive (Model F) and membrane (Model M). They feel completely different.

Another ridiculous survey that ignores Alps and other great switches such as Hi-Tek and SMK.

And "where do you buy your keyboards?" without "ebay" as an option? Huh?

“People who can turn a lie into a truth have the power to shape reality; they are poets of the real. And the audience that gives them its willing suspension of disbelief is a co-conspirator in this uncanny transformation. The bond between demagogues and their audience is cemented by their exhilarating consciousness of shared culpability.
The problem with our “post-truth” politics is that a large share of the population has moved beyond true and false. They thrill precisely to the falsehood of a statement, because it shows that the speaker has the power to reshape reality in line with their own fantasies of self-righteous beleaguerment. To call them liars is naive, because it mistakes their intention; they never wanted to be believed in the first place. The same is true of demagogues.”

And just like last time it's hopelessly biased :p .

If the "main thing you're looking for in a keyboard"'s number 1 answer is "Cherry" again I'm going to **** myself :p .

Where do you buy keyboards should have an option "wherever I can find them" a.k.a "looking for things that are too rare to have a choice of vendor".

Better prepare a diaper then.

The only reason it's there is because of companies like Corsair and their "#real #mech #or #nothing #cherry ## #hashtag" marketing. And there's A LOT of Corsair fanboys on reddit.

But yeah, if it's as hopelessly biased as the last one than I'm not even gonna touch that.

Passing on this round, since I have some stuff inbound, and preferences may change when it arrives. I suspect I'd wind up selecting "other" for most of the questions anyway.

Sometimes, that's just the way it is. It's not because of anything, so there's nothing you can do about it, and if it's not fair, that's just too bad.
