Oof That is terrible and should be condemned.

I actually think it's pretty cool looking. But no way am I spending time to learn that layout.

That's not ugly — it's, instead, ill-designed, but that's a different issue.davkol wrote: ↑This atrocity is fun too, thanks Colemak forum for reminding me:...
Now, let's find an vomit-Artisan filled version of that! Or better not...

Very few artisans actually look good to me. The only one that I've seen that I really love are these:

There is a special place in hell for people who would put that logo on an innocent keyboard.Blaise170 wrote: ↑That thing is hideous! Especially having this logo on it!
I have a feeling that that choice of keys is more out of necessity than an intentional style choice.davkol wrote: ↑Reddit strikes again.

They are still practical and look nice so I myself wouldn't mind them. The problem with artisans is that they cost wayyyyyy to much to justify it for me.Blaise170 wrote: ↑Very few artisans actually look good to me. The only one that I've seen that I really love are these:

True, but if it was for the cost alone, I would never justify buying anything other than Tai-hao caps

Agreed, truly detailed and really amazing fitting all of that into a single Key-cap, yet you'll still have those spending $1200+USD on a single old Click-clack

I think grab bag vomit keyboards can look pretty good if they're done right IMO. If I had the money for one of those grab bags, I'd love to get one!

I actually sold a bunch of "grab bags" last year with old keys that I didn't use anymore. Not sure where they are now, but I wasn't going to use them anyways so meh.

Looking at Reddit is basically cheating. That site just seems to draw in people with horrendously bad taste. I found this in under a minute of scrolling through/r/mechanicalkeyboards

I will never, ever understand novelty/artisan caps that let you see the stem, I just find it horribly ugly.FXT wrote: ↑Looking at Reddit is basically cheating.

and I agree I've seen enough ugly artisan filled keebs on the subreddit to last a life time

Perhaps we should split the "anti-pimped" category I proposed earlier into two: non-reddit and reddit.FXT wrote: ↑Looking at Reddit is basically cheating.
Sadly, your entry is mild, compared to the hideousness that can be found over there.
Posted: 08 Apr 2018, 18:52
I will agree that it's mild in comparison to some of the boards that were posted in this thread, but it's still pretty hideous. It's got way too many artisans, a bunch of mismatched colors/caps, and perhaps worst of all it has a flipped spacebar. That trend needs to die already. It's not more ergonomic and it looks stupid.

On that topic, I was recently browsing older posts in the Geekhack media subforum, mainly in the What did you add to your Keyboard today? thread, and the keyboards and keysets back in ~2014 somehow looked more tasteful than what I usually see these days. Like, as if there was more attention to detail, when there were only vintage keycaps and much fewer group buys with simpler color themes.

I thought this thread was for ugly keyboards, not molested keyboards...

I don't recognise the seller but is it from the guy with the ruined 5251 or from the person with the purple plate F107?

Well in this case it's both.depletedvespene wrote: ↑I thought this thread was for ugly keyboards, not molested keyboards...

I am intrigued, I want to see those keyboards but I don't find anything with the search feature, do you have links nearby?pansku wrote: ↑I don't recognise the seller but is it from the guy with the ruined 5251 or from the person with the purple plate F107?
