A cheap but surprisingly good mechanical keyboard. Heavy as hell

My coworkers used to dabble in mechanical keyboards. Some of them claimed they could stop anytime they wanted. My friend C made no such claims. I don't think I ever saw the same keyboard twice. It's possible some of them were just alternate keycap combinations.

I, of course, grew up on mechanical keyboards, but I've put it behind me. I love my Macbook, the low travel keys are fast and the lack of CLACK is perfectly CLACK-ceptable, honestly.

So when I randomly spotted this cheap knockoff mechanical keyboard with one missing key for $5 at Goodwill, I thought: what the hell. A CLACK or two just for a laugh. First one's practically free...

CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK

Oh dear. I think I really like the CLACK.

This is going to be a problem, isn't it.

Gee, this thing weights a ton.

Heh. Nerd.



Can ummm... I try?

Hee! It's an Easterntimes Tech I-500... newer nicer versions are like $40 on Amazon. This one would be $15 on eBay, with the missing key included! It's a cheap habit at first...
STOP making me look up mechanical keyboards that are so kawaii it hurts.
