White or Blue (very rare) alps are clicky

2016-07-16 17:41:07 UTC  

he was nice enough to tell me his keycaps wouldn't work on ajazz

2016-07-16 17:41:13 UTC  

and his designs are good

2016-07-16 17:41:40 UTC  

that does look nice

2016-07-16 17:42:24 UTC  

I really wouldn't recommend chink boards

2016-07-16 17:42:46 UTC  

Unless you're ready for a subpar board

2016-07-16 17:42:55 UTC  

With shitty caps and switches

2016-07-16 17:43:00 UTC  

he bought an AULA, of course he is

2016-07-16 17:43:10 UTC  

00

2016-07-16 17:43:11 UTC  

I have a subpar board with shitty caps and switches already

2016-07-16 17:43:29 UTC  

Mechanical keyboards are super fucking pricey but that's the hobby

2016-07-16 17:43:44 UTC  

Some custom boards run over 500

2016-07-16 17:43:58 UTC  

chinks changed all that really

2016-07-16 17:44:24 UTC  

you can't expect people to go after the $300 boards if chinks make a $40 one

2016-07-16 17:44:48 UTC  

same reason people buy a $15 watch instead of the $400 original

2016-07-16 17:46:16 UTC  

most people don't know enough about mechs, watches, sunglasses, micro sd cards to give a fuck

2016-07-16 17:46:19 UTC  

they just know they saved money

2016-07-16 17:47:00 UTC  

or some people don't have the money

2016-07-16 17:47:10 UTC  

they can get a lower quality slice of the experience

2016-07-16 17:47:13 UTC  

of the full priced thing

2016-07-16 17:50:27 UTC  

it's like anything, a meme occurs, introductory enthusiast pricing to get richfags in, the richfags boast about their expensive toys, demand rises, savvy businessmen notice and make cheaper versions, the first few attempts suck

2016-07-16 17:50:38 UTC  

then by the end there's a near reproduction for 1/10 of the price

2016-07-16 17:50:54 UTC  

which makes the original enthusiasts mad as fuck because they paid way more for it

2016-07-16 17:50:59 UTC  

The cheapest board that actually had official cherry switches are from monoprice

2016-07-16 17:50:59 UTC  

But cherry is shit anyway

2016-07-16 17:51:00 UTC  

But this is csg

2016-07-16 17:51:00 UTC  

You can because they look and feel awesome

2016-07-16 17:51:00 UTC  

So go buy Gaterons they are the same

2016-07-16 17:51:00 UTC  

No way you are getting an ergodox or an ergo custom for chink prices

2016-07-16 17:51:00 UTC  

And you can post pictures of them on le reddit of course

2016-07-16 17:51:00 UTC  

True but you're a pleb if you do

2016-07-16 17:51:28 UTC  

Not all of us are 14 with no expenses

2016-07-16 17:51:42 UTC  

>barely any expendable income

2016-07-16 17:51:46 UTC  

>want to get out of rubber domes

2016-07-16 17:51:55 UTC  

>buy a cheap chinky stinky over cheap chinky stinky rubber dome

2016-07-16 17:52:00 UTC  

seems reasonable to me

2016-07-16 17:52:42 UTC  

I've no doubt they're plebian shitty entry level keyboards

2016-07-16 17:52:53 UTC  

but a lot of us are poorfag plebs anyway

2016-07-16 17:53:14 UTC  

Speak for yourself m8
