@Archy brown and blue switches can improve your typing speed by having the tactile bump / click to indicate when you can step depressing the key. If you use it as a way to train you out of bottoming out keys, it can improve your typing speed on all keyboards substantially. Beyond that there's the durability argument. Mechanicals will out last membrane keys, then there's just the feel. I had to switch back to a shitty dell keyboard until I get my aula fixed and it feels gross, to be honest.

placebo and autism makes mechanical keyboard your perfect computation partner

2017-03-20 11:52:41 UTC  

Now I know I just said Mechanicals will out last rubber domes, but that I have to fix mine. You can't account chinky soldering with switch failure.

2017-03-20 11:53:50 UTC  

You can also teach yourself not to bottom out on rubber domes, you just don't have that feedback to help you find the sweet spot.

2017-03-20 11:54:46 UTC  

actually

2017-03-20 11:54:56 UTC  

i been using my mx brown for over 2 years know i think

2017-03-20 11:55:28 UTC  

i began to not bottom out without noticing

2017-03-20 11:56:20 UTC  

I would assume so after enough time. Your subconscious will just equate the bump with the end of the keypress.

2017-03-20 11:56:31 UTC  

that's my thought

2017-03-20 11:56:51 UTC  

because the travel distance to the bottom is still pretty far compared to the click mechanicsm

2017-03-20 11:57:01 UTC  

Just like people like me who never learned how to properly typed just inevitably learned to type without looking through exposure.

2017-03-20 11:57:33 UTC  

i also didn't learn to type, i just slammed on it like a piano without piano lessons

2017-03-20 11:58:11 UTC  

humans are amazing

2017-03-20 12:02:28 UTC  

Lol, I always used three fingers on each hand, pinky fingers for far reach like shift, and thumbs for space. I would just look and scan the keyboard as I typed. Eventually I just had to glance down for reference to where my hand is, now I just find the nubs and type away. Still don't use all my fingers though. Can type 70-100wpm so it's whatever.

2017-03-20 12:05:07 UTC  

same

2017-03-20 12:05:34 UTC  

still instinctively use pinky for far reach

2017-03-20 12:05:43 UTC  

same

2017-03-20 12:15:31 UTC  

Too much effort

2017-03-20 12:19:17 UTC  

Is there anything wrong with using onscreen keyboards???

2017-03-20 12:34:37 UTC  

no, my mom uses them for online banking, because she once read that smth like keyloggers exist

2017-03-20 12:36:45 UTC  

is your mum woke

2017-03-20 12:37:23 UTC  

But a key logger would capture the on board keyboard too.

2017-03-20 12:37:45 UTC  

It's the same input, just a different interface.

2017-03-20 12:38:30 UTC  

I want that Lenovo yoga book thing, to be honest. I don't mind on screen keyboards, so long as I can have haptic feedback.

2017-03-20 12:38:52 UTC  

does it vibrate

2017-03-20 12:39:10 UTC  

I hope so. Probably not. But I always have it on my phone.

2017-03-20 12:39:56 UTC  

What's a good on screen keyboard for Linux, by the way? I like to use my x230t next to my bed with the screen flipped around, and it's a hassle to pick it up, or try and type upside down.

2017-03-20 12:40:29 UTC  

It's cozy as fuck for watching videos, though.

2017-03-20 12:45:14 UTC  

@Valkrys thats the joke. but its too funny for me to set her straight. also i dont want to interfere with the only seurity measure she takes bc that might demotivate it

2017-03-20 13:21:12 UTC  

yo boys does taobao always charge for shipping?

2017-03-20 13:21:29 UTC  

or is it dependant on seller/item

2017-03-20 13:24:03 UTC  

netbooks are a meme

2017-03-20 13:24:09 UTC  

Just get a regular laptop

2017-03-20 13:24:31 UTC  

I scored a second hand laptop on local second hand (stolen) classifieds

2017-03-20 13:24:58 UTC  

@HEKTIK you may need a taobao agent

2017-03-20 13:25:05 UTC  

like Taobaoring

2017-03-20 13:25:16 UTC  

tao ships to australia natively

2017-03-20 13:25:26 UTC  

its just a bitch to talk to the seller

2017-03-20 13:26:39 UTC  

>tfw I will never be able to buy from toaboa

2017-03-20 13:28:53 UTC  

why

2017-03-20 13:29:09 UTC  

I live in a little shithole on earth
