Typing videos - you're doing it wrong
« on: Thu, 02 February 2017, 18:28:53 »
Yo,
do you know these typing videos of people typing on certain keyboards on youtube?
I think these videos are very helpful and deliver important information about how a keyboard sounds, but people are doing it wrong.

I'm literally going crazy when watching these videos because it seems like the typists are typing for their f..ing lives!!!!!
Calm down boys!
Take a deep breath.
Chill the f.ck out and type like a normal person would do it.
Not like a racing horse on steroids. Don't type like you're getting shot when you're falling below 140wpm!
manofinterest, I'm talking to you.
Don't type like you're on crystal. Slow down, stop making so many mistakes.

Thanks

Just like testing out a sports car, you wouldn't drive it slowly right?

Personally I think that's great, as I can compare which keyboard provides the fastest typing performance.

I kind of agree. I watch typing videos to get a good idea of the sound of certain setups, not to hear you machine-gun the damn board.

The other thing that bugs me are "keyboard reviews" where the person is covering all of the same points that have been done a million times in other videos. This is really subjective, but personally I don't need another Pok3r review that's identical to the other forty that pop up on YouTube first.

Give me a look at your keyboard, have a nice lengthy typing video, and let me hear those wonderful switches. Tell me about what you personally like and dislike.

Also if you do a keyboard review and don't include a proper typing video then you're a bad person.

i'm not making videos so you guys can hear what my keyboards sound like, I don't even have a good mic (blue snowball) nor a good camera (some logitech webcam in the latest ones)

I just do them to show off my keyboards... that's why there's only roughly 1 per keyboard unless I drastically change something about it.

same reason for taking potato photos

CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP
