My new keyboard arrived today (and now a keyboard thread with updated OP pic)

[Georges]

The reason the keys are like they are Raven is because these are mechanical keys, which have more travel than your standard laptop keyboard, they have a nicer feel when pressed, etc. You can't really make a mechanical keyboard as flat as a laptop keyboard and keep the same feel of the mechanical keys. So what that means is yes, you have keys that look big (they're no bigger than any other keyboard, really). And also, just because they don't add any unnecessary styling elements to it makes it look 1990s? I don't get that logic...

I am on neutral ground and havent been swayed either side of the keyboard spectrum.

then maybe you should stop shilling "flat" keyboards and having such an arrogant tone about mechanicals

[espio100]

but no seriously i'll add to this more than just posting steve-o

you're ignorant and uneducated, and you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

same goes for ravencroft

And why would I spend 140 quids on not even full sized keyboard when I literally bought mine for a buck second hand and works just a fine?
But oh no! Its louder!
forget man even mechanical RGB bullstuff is cheaper

wow look at these disgusting-looking thrift store running shoes i got!
wow they're on my feet and act as shoes!
there's no other possible reason that i would want something nicer if it essentially does the same job!

Thin keyboards are much more prominent in the market, naturally giving a big and bulky impression to the older styled ones. Can't have an arrogant tone about something you don't have knowledge on.

Atleast I have a numpad, my function and my arrow keys

Just incase I spill my coffee on the other 4 wich usually happens most of the time

[Daswiruch]

if you notice closely it can have all the keys of a full keyboard, just in sub-layers with the fn key

[espio100]

You dense motherforgeter

"Oh boi, this keyboard has a nice numpad!" -Daswiruch
Why the forget would you buy 60% of a keyboard while you can buy 100% mechanical for the same price? If not less.

Or you buy a bigger keyboard with all keys?

[shitlord]

Or you buy a bigger keyboard with all keys?

or i could not if i dont want to

do you think that literally everyone on the earth cares about having a full size keyboard or are you just being ignorant again

[Daswiruch]

You dense motherforgeter

I barely ever use my numpad, the only time I do is when I'm playing Blockland.
You can't buy 100% of the same brand/edition keyboard for the same price.


OT: I want a membrane keyboard, but I'm fine with my Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000:



for now.
