Would not buy again.
I didn’t say they were all good :)

I'm well aware that such a thing is necessary, but i'm also well aware that i am aunt material more than mother material and even then after they're potty trained.
That's one amazing thing about parenthood. You can do things you never thought you could do and barely be bothered about it.

@JBert said in Mechanical keyboards, now available at food trucks:
Wait, what?
yep. it can. done it before. no damage, no warping.
you do have to program the dishwasher to skip the drying cycle, but that's just a matter of reading the manual.

What's a "manual"? (I just push a button on the front)
-
@dcon said in Mechanical keyboards, now available at food trucks:
What's a "manual"?
pieces of paper that come with the device that tell you how to use it correctly.

@accalia oh, kindling. Must be another english/american translation thing

"reading instructions is for chumps" eh?

@accalia it's more fun if you have to work it out as you go
-
@accalia said in Mechanical keyboards, now available at food trucks:
if you fancy seeing me vomit and/or faint suggest i perform such an operation.
Guess we won't be having kids together then…
Not that we'd be having any anyway, what with biology and all that

indeed.
i mean who throws out the manual before they get to the bit that describes how to make the device create a subspace wormhole to the delta quadrant?
-
@accalia I've clearly been buying the wrong electronic equipment; no manual I've read has that

I haven't tossed them - but the stack may be forming a blackhole due to its weight...

oh, so you have got to that section! you're only six steps away from making that wormhole!

If the chinglish I've seen in the manuals for appliances I've bought in the past few years is anything to go by, writing instructions is for chumps…

spilling sugary coffee on it and ruining the PCB.
Oh that's actually easy to fix! Just disassemble it and wash the components in clean water (don't use any solvent-based products. Actually, avoid using product at all), properly dry everything, and you're good to go!
You'd be surprised how dirty something you put your hands on day in and out can get...
Edit: And apparently @accalia knows this trick too!

Seems like a better use of resources to toss it and get another $10 keyboard.
-

$0.05 worth of water and a few minutes of time is a worse use of resources than $10, and a trip to the store (or mailing, even worse)?
Whatever. People are saying they'll willingly spend a few hundred on a keyboard, so I guess I'm just more cheap than everyone else...
-

I'm terrible at putting things back together, so guaranteed it's not going to be a few minutes. Assuming it's not broken when I'm done with it.

Ah. Yes, I guess my rudimentary skill of twisting a screwdriver might be worth more than $10 of time. Gotcha.
-
@boomzilla So you just need to get one of these every time one wears out?

No, I was thinking pump - like Capt Keith on the Wizard (Deadliest Catch)

@dcon I guess that does make sense. I just get so used to all the @accalias, and fistbump works, too, so …

I hate you for even pretending I would buy a keyboard with that arrow button layout.
-
@boomzilla There's plenty of other large-label layouts, and probably none of them are mechanical.

Immediately after potty training is even less fun. It takes them a while to learn to be consistent, so you have to deal with accidents.
The saving grace with diapers is that you're sort-of eased into them. They're not particularly smelly until the kid starts eating solid foods.

So HJKL is enough for you?
-
@dkf Nah, you want the Commodore 64 method: just two arrow keys and having to use Shift to change the direction they operate in.

Or formula. Seriously, the lack of foul odor is one of the great advantages of breast feeding. But yes, solid food is worse still.

Well, the name for the dating app was probably picked because it is something easily combustible that is used as the first step in starting a fire.

That's what pull-ups are for.

Didn't work for us.
Anyway, the point is that potty training is not the milestone when one is through with such affairs.

paying more than 20 usd on a keyboard is throwing money at the garbage.
it's the same people that buy hdmi cables from monster cables at 500usd

paying only 20$ on a keyboard is PAYING FOR GARBAGE
so it seems you;re damned if you do and cursed if you don't.
i for one would rather be damned because i bought a good keyboard, than be cursed to type on literal garbage.
-
@accalia my Microsoft keyboard that is lasting years cost less than 20usd.
I had used several mechanical keyboards when computers used to be beige and use crt monitors. Actual keyboard is as good as any of them.

if you had a mechanical keyboard of that era you had a buckling spring mechanical keyboard. they're better than membrane keyboards that you get for $20, but not by much. try a proper switch based mechanical keyboard. Trust me there's a world of difference between one of them and a crappy old membrane keyboard.
-
@accalia you just have too much money in your hands

and you don't know what you are missing.
you might think you do based on your interaction with the model M keyboard, but you don't.
-
@accalia These things aren't even sold here. I touch a button, and a character is shown at the screen, what would change in an expensive rich-kid keyboard?
Other than not having the layout of my country, because people here in bumfuckinstan doesn't have money for throwing out the window.
