Peripherals Mechanical Keyboards

This thing is dangerous if you are ordering from WASD....

Wire puller.
Running man esc key (same as yours, but in red).
Blank red arrow key set.

Not from that:
Noppoo mini with blacks.
37 key orange engraved cap set from GeorgeStorm (payment incoming my the way, just give me time )

I'll get that all together once it all arrives, and decide if I want anything else.

 

I'm not splashing out. Gotta save my money for some GTX780 and intel 8 core goodness next year.
Still, I'll be browsing for a nice travelling TKL board over the summer.

 

What's so dangerous about it, apart from being able to make an entire keyboard into a trollface?

 

Ahh cool, I'm holding off on the WASD keys until I get the ESC key so I can see for myself the height and feel difference.

Exactly that.

 

Just you wait for the new PBT keys and colours!

 

Like I said with the Noppoo, two things make it very appealing to me:
1) My more frequently used keys will be slightly raised and more noticeable in red and orange.
2) Something more compact is a thing I'm really looking forward to!

 

What is so great about PBT keys?

 

I had to go back to rubber domed full sized awfulness at work recently, it is amazing how far out to the right your mouse hand is with a full sized board!

 

Totally agree, I just started noticing it more a couple of days ago! However, it's more comfortable for me to have my arm that far out as my arms are pretty long.

And I just thought, every computer related thing at my school is f*cking horrible!
Upgrade 1: IPS monitor- school's crappier than crap Asus TN panels now seem even more crap. Some of them are so bad, you can even see individual colours on the desktop!

Upgrade 2: SSD- school runs everything from 3 low power servers, slower than slow now seems 10x slower.

Upgrade 3: Noppoo- what are the school's £2 boards going to feel like now!?

 

1) Bad luck.
2) Bad luck.
3) Get another for taking to school.

 

Just awful.

 

Oh well, I might try bringing my Noppoo to school thursday and friday. My only problem there would be all the retards.

 

You need a second one

 

A mechanical keyboard is generally tough enough to use as a makeshift cricket bat.
"What a weird looking...*thump*...urrgghhhh"

 

It's not the risk of them beating it up or even touching it (which I WOULD NOT allow!), it's the general questions and remarks:
"What have you got that for?"
"What's so special about it?"
"What's wrong with the keyboards here?"
"What idiot would spend so much money on a silly keyboard?"

It's not even worth trying to explain them to the illiterate retards...

 

I face the same thing

 

To be honest, the only way a person like that would understand is if they did use it.
I'm so glad I'm at uni now, nobody could give a toss about such things.

 

Trust me, it's not half as bad at a workplace.
It's not even worth me going into a long rant about the people I'm surrounded by at this school. But I'll leave you with one example:
Le 15 year old in my sister's geography class:

Teacher: "What is the largest river in America?"
Le 15 year old: "Erm, the English Channel?"

I'm serious, she didn't know...

 

Even if they tried it, chances are they'd be too stupid to notice a difference. These are the kind of people that "hammer" the keys when they type...
