Still have the split keyboard tenting things and a bunch of thin metal wire.

What happened in the three months you were away? People are still using keyboards built 30 years ago :-þ I haven't been paying attention for longer than that. But yea, I'm still using 30 year old keyboards. But I have settled in a bit with Topre. The lower force is friendlier on my fingers than IBMs.

There was the Silo switches, Hall Effect and Beamspring MX-mount switch. BOX switches came and went. People got crazy about a switch combo named "Holy Pandas", it got extremely expensive but now there are multiple versions of them. TGR is becoming the new OTD. There was an MX Alps slider called the...

I guess one thing that's new is off topic is pretty much dead these days.

I changed my user name on another forum because a crazy poster kept harassing me and make false accusations. I just wanted to discuss the topics of the forum. Worth changing one's online identity if you just want to talk about the topic at hand without being hassled.

Haven't been around in awhile. Got tired of the other forum(s) I was visiting (non-keyboard forum, fyi). What's new around here and in the keyboard world?

Also see my sales thread, I got some stuff I want to off load.

Hi, long time no post. Cleaning out the shelves and I have some random keyboard stuff that I would like to get rid of. Most of it I will let go for about the cost of shipping. Prices are for CONUS shipping. International shipping will depend on country and shipping method. CLICK HERE FOR MORE PHOTOS...

Yea, I really don't have the time for that kind of stuff.

Well, seeing as DT will soon be down a while as Matteo scarifies some limbs and scares some hens, it’s a good moment to point to Trev’s place: https://typehype.net/threads/pfu-topre-limited-edition-realforce-r2-tkl-tenkeyless-keyboard-review-and-photos.337/ I am so out of the loop during a time I w...

Was going to start a thread on this, but I will post it here. So what forum alternatives cropped up? I know the Input Club started one, but were there any others? What is hot right now? Just wondering, I don't actually plan visiting them. Also, I have not visit geekhack pretty at all since the sale....

So what is the latest on availability of these? I would like mind a variable force. I see they are on Amazon and there is limited stock on the Fujitsu web store. Mechanicalkeyboards still has the old version in stock and Elite Keyboards seems to have nothing (I wonder if Fujitsu decided to cut out t...

@vivalarevolución I have no idea what you were talking about. Being vague won't make you look any better... @vometia I'm curious about your previous reply, how the contents make me lose face? Oh...Don't tell me you googled "what Chinese people are afraid of most?" and Google told you "Chinese peopl...

@vivalarevolución Simply because here is way better...imagine you had a billion-scale business to run, and you were a smart guy like Elon Musk, you would made the same decision. @vometia Do you usually talk in this way? "I don't want to join the conversation, I'm not interested, I don't care at all...

All of America's allies know that Trump et al. are a bunch of buffoons. Next election cycle will be far different. Get over yourself. Also your tirade about Catholicism is both irrelevant and comical. P.S. Tesla is manufacturing in China for several big reasons but namely Tesla can pay their worker...

Lol. Tl;dr. Relax, bro. We're here to have fun. I don't care for a pissing contest. @vivalarevolución If the USA is such a star-spangled awesome then why those big corporations like GM (and recently Tesla) all rush to China it seems GMO food and heavy taxiation is rather enjoyable to you, then stay ...

What was this thread about again?

I'm not saying Tribalism isn't a problem. Looking back, I didn't state that clearly enough. Tribalism just isn't a problem in terms of elections in any way that an Electoral College actually solves. What problem today is solved by the Electoral College? Before, it was in the way of access- that's w...

Mars shall be a keyswitch ethnostate! Another neat actual thing about Mars is it’ll have a distinct internet, thanks to the speed of light. It’s several minutes away— 14 light minutes on average —which makes conversations non real-time and is just about enough to screw with people’s sense of simult...

Tribalism isn't a problem now? Is that a joke? Tribalism is still alive and strong. The Age of Enlightenment and fact seeking are out. Now it's all about what's best for my tribe or whatever the tribal leaders say. I'm not saying Tribalism isn't a problem. Looking back, I didn't state that clearly ...

Finally, a visionary!

The current Mars colony leader, Elon Musk is now distracted by Twitter beefs and mini submarines. Perhaps you could take up the Torch?

One (hu)man, one vote. Anything less is not democracy. As a Scot, I can kinda almost see the “advantage” of an electoral college. For instance, Brexit was beat hard here in the referendum, and Northern Ireland (and London!) voted against it too. With a cheaty college, we could have denied the Engli...

Uh, you actually believe that reasoning? The electoral college still exists because it allows the parties to only campign in like five states, and even only campaign in a few areas of that state. Then they can completely ignore issues of concern in states where the winner is predictable, which is t...

The reason for the electoral college is to give a voice and some power in elections to the smaller flyover states. Without it they would have almost no say in any election. Its not ideal by any means and we do need to come up with something better that gives everyone a voice in decisions. I think t...

Yes, Mr. Nobody, I think you are a paid Russian troll posing as a Chinese national with the intent to sow distrust among western nations and their citizens. Which is not necessary, because Dear Leader Orange Cheeto is handing the keys to world domination to China with every passing day. All China ha...

@vivalarevolución It's always fun when you are making jokes on others' but insulting when others start to do the same to you. Do you remember I post a thread talking about virtual reality which is completely politics/culture-free, and what happened in that thread? Yes,personal bickering, insults al...

Edit: @vivalarevolución I remember there used to be a thread in this OFFTOPIC subforum about US. politics which has 40+ pages of replies, and a large proportion of them are contributed by you.That's what the offtopic subforum for isn't it. Debate if you can, if you can't, then you can keep accusing...

(Notice how I haven't responded to Mr. Nobody.) We can avoid feeding him and hijack the thread, can't we? Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can! I'm pretty thrilled that I predicted the style of his response. Careful, a culture war is what he wants. I expect a general proclamation about how we all are...

Since these threads are just Mr. Nobody shitposting, I'll misuse the opportunity to raise awareness of a humanitarian crises… Meanwhile in China: dystopian assimilation of Uyghurs and organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners Careful, a culture war is what he wants. I expect a general proclama...

Is there an honorary chair at a university that can awarded to Mr. Empty Face? His knowledge of European culture and history is astounding. Bring on the accolades.
