Anyone using a mechanical keyboard? - GoFuckYourself.com

Babaganoosh · 03-29-2011, 09:03 AM

My old keyboard was too big and bulky for my desk (original Logitech G15). I wanted to switch to a mechanical keyboard rather than the rubber bubble keyboards almost everyone uses these days.

I ordered a Razer Blackwidow from Amazon. This thing is fucking great. I can't imagine all programmers or writers not using these. When did we start using those cheap, spongy-feeling keyboards? I remember the old clicky, heavy IBM keyboards that everyone had back in the day. Why did we stop using those? Sure, they're a little louder but the rhythmic clicking is almost music to me.

I just ordered a Das Keyboard (also mechanical) for the office. Anyone else rocking a mechanical keyboard?

Here's a mechanical keyboard guide if anyone is interested: http://www.overclock.net/keyboards/4...ard-guide.html

i'm in the market for a new keyboard too. The left arrow key on my g15 just broke the little plastic holders that keep it in. I suppose for the amount i type this keyboard doesn't owe me much more anyways

I use an old Dell keyboard that reminds me of the IBM keyboards I used in the 80's when I was a mainframe COBOL programmer... it's great.

I loved the old clicky keyboards from the late 80's era! Somewhere I have at least a couple of em. Typing sounds so much more impressive, lol.

That's it right there. Before I was just tapping around on a keyboard. Now I am FUCKING TYPING. Honestly I think this thing has improved my speed. The first couple of days I was making a lot of mistakes but that's cool because even the backspace key clicks with authority.

You strike me as the kind of guy that needs a Das Keyboard Ultimate.

You'd be pimp with blank clicky keys.

I use the apple wireless, and you'd have to pull it out of my dead hands to separate me from it.

taken300 · 03-29-2011, 11:47 AM

I too use Logitech... Its cool

Those are fine if you have dainty little girl hands. I am a man. I have fingers like sausages and hair on my knuckles.

Hentaikid · 03-29-2011, 11:51 AM

wireless logitech keyboard, certainly. I have a backup rubber button keyboard and it's painful to use, but it's only there for when synergy craps out.

Ewww! COBOL, i remeber that from my old college days, I never could get the hang of it. I couln't get my head around not having line numbers.

Line numbers? What were you coding before? BASIC?

10 PRINT "I RULE"
20 PRINT CHR$(7)
30 GOTO 10

PR_Glen · 03-29-2011, 11:58 AM

I had to look up what a mechanical keyboard was...

I don't have a problem using my microsoft natural keyboard, have been using it for years without a problem ever. Loud clicking noises?? yeah that would be great if you are working in an office full of people.. hehe I hate my laptop keyboard, but that is a different story.

MrMaxwell · 03-29-2011, 01:10 PM

SOMEONE HAS ME READING A LONG STORY ABOUT KEYBOARDS ON AN EXTERNAL LINK AND I'M NOT EVEN DRUNK!!! How could this ever happen, to me?

HomerSimpson · 03-29-2011, 01:34 PM

I prefer Logitech

pornguy · 03-29-2011, 02:40 PM

I use the one that came with my laptop.

cooldude7 · 03-29-2011, 03:25 PM

and i am very happy with it.

HomerSimpson · 03-30-2011, 02:05 AM

I also like this one

but don't know where it can be bought...

u-Bob · 03-30-2011, 03:35 AM

rowan · 03-30-2011, 03:50 AM

I bought a second hand PS/2 computer, and the keyboard was SUPER noisy. Every keypress (and release) produced a click or clack sound, plus there was like a remnant echo as well. Used to drive my girlfriend of the time nuts because I was usually at my programming best at 2am or some similarly weird hour. Ditched the comp years ago... should have kept the k/b. :D

When I bought this microsoft keyboard I found that apart from the keys getting softer (compared to the older white one), they'd shifted slightly. Took me a while to get used to it. Had some problems with passwords for a few days.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!! I'd be comfortable with that one

CPimp · 03-30-2011, 06:09 AM

I use the one that came with my desktop. I notice no 'fatigue' when having to press the keys on my bubble-style keyboard. I guess that 'fatigue' only applies to people where 2mm pressing distance actually changes their day.

When I type I hit my keys nice and hard, it's jsut the way I have always typed and I am happy with it.

I also type with my index and middle fingers of both hands and can do 60-80 words per minute.
