LED's vs Extra keys
« on: Sun, 26 June 2016, 09:33:13 »
Quick survey. Given same quality of materials (whatever they be) for the same price, would you rather have:

1/ basic keyboard layout with f keys, a numpad and arrow keys
2/ basic keyboard layout no 'f' keys, no arrows or numpad BUT WITH MOFO LED's. YEAH LEDS!!!111oneone

Please just answer "1" or "2". Your opinion is important to us.

No F keys, no numpad, no arrows, no number row, fewer right pinky keys, more thumb keys. Total keys: 45–55.

Also, no ****ing blinkenlights.

All I need is a basic TKL board and I'm set. RGB Backlighting looks great but its not a necessity for me.

Why would I want some sort of half-finished keyboard that's missing about half the keys?

Didn't you already make a thread about how much LEDs are for 15 year olds?

I think he's actually obsessed with boards full of LEDs and by portraying them in a negative light hopes to score a deal on someone selling a used one due to his inane ranting.

Seriously how many of his recent comments are talking about how LEDs suck? 5? 6?

Maybe he is actually obsessed with RGB backlighting and is in denial.

Your opinion on keyboard LEDs is incredibly important and very interesting to me. Please share it as often and as awkwardly inappropriate as possible. Thank you so, so much.

Why not set up a poll?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
