This is a neat little piece of software, however I find the most satisfaction comes from building your own mechanical keyboard that makes amazing sounds when you type :). I recommend it as a good weekend project for pretty much any nerdy-type person.



A wise green alien once said: If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will.

If you like having money, don't get into mechanical keyboards.


I bought one. It came with the Y and U keys misprinted, which slowed by down a lot, and I hated the lack of dedicated page down, home, and end keys.

Then I moved and the desk here is smaller. Not really enough room for an external monitor.

The mechanicalness wasn't quite compelling enough, I sold the keyboard, and don't currently own any external keyboards.

Maybe someday I'll get a better mechanical, but it seems like you really have to have a whole setup built around it to get the benefits.


Am I the only one who find the whole thing a brilliant ironic stunt?
