i just hooked back up my old keyboard.

submitted by ghostofvoatspast to whatever 3.7 yearsSep 28, 2021 16:30:15 ago (+4/-8)     (whatever)

I got this mechanical keyboard because I thought I would like it more than my cheap gaming squishy keyed keyboard. As it turns out I don't. I'm going to take an online typing class. I'm key poking again.

The IBM Model M is almost indestructible. I have one at work that I've kept since 1994 from a PS2. It's older (and works better) than some of the new hires.

I LOVE how noisy and tactile those are!

People sometimes comment on the noise when I'm typing. Fuck 'em. It's better than an old Selectric or manual.

They can go eat a cold turd. Typing on one of those is great.

Totally different than the shitty little just adequate keyboards on laptops these days... but bringing my selectric derivative keyboard here to the boat corroded it;s switches... and even though they're individually replacable and all that, where the hell does one find these, and then how is the job done? I need to just figure that out, because I miss that keyboard. Also I should just buy a new one - if any American companies are still making them.

I'm not seeing the part were it said "Made in USA".

So instead of going "click" the keys will go "chink". I assumed great tech was US but I'm old enough to remember when we wouldn't speak to "Red China". I still cringe when I see the Made in China tag.

i have a cheap cyberpower gaming keyboard that was given to me. i actually really like it

Like this? https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/store/item.aspx?id=47 Mechanical, so probably something I'd like. Fancy lights but I bet it doesn't have the classic PS2 plug like mine. i didn't know there was anyone still making the mechanical type. Good news as the Model Ms wear out in another 100 years.

no mine is just a regular membrane keyboard with big squishy keys

[ - ] cyclops1771 1 point 3.7 yearsSep 28, 2021 17:13:03 ago (+1/-0)

I love the mechanical ones. I'm tactile.

Feels like memories.

Try different switches. I switched from cherry green to zlient v2. So much better

How old is it. Ps2 interface with the round plugs? Did you hook it up to your butt hole?
