That's a big NOPE.

[ThePhlud]

@SuperKittyPancake A very, very, very, very big nope

[guomaster]

Too much bottoming out though.

[phototristan]

@guomaster That's how I type.

@phototristan defeating the purpose of mechanical keyboards

[phototristan]

@guomaster Bull. A mechanical keyboard still feels a lot better no matter how you type on it.

[galacticaphantome]

@phototristan Well if you really get into it, technically Topre Keyboards like the HHKB aren't mechanical keyboards rather an electrostatic capacitive keyboard. Topre keyboards don't have mechanical switches like Alps or Cherry boards, but rather super high quality rubber domes with a conical spring inside of them to actuate keys before bottoming out.

I digress though, Topre shouldn't be compared with standard rubber membrane keyboard as it's in a class in it's own, but mechanical they are not.

@galacticaphantome you sound like a semantics Nazi

[dabeshu]

@MrNo0dZ

There is nothing wrong, as such.

nooby

[guomaster]

@BrutalTurtle only noobs bottom out on mechanical, even dome mechs.

[BrutalTurtle]

@guomaster

it still doesn't defeat the purpose of a mechanical keyboard you pleb.

@guomaster Good thing he isn't typing on a mechanical keyboard.

Is this keyboard compatible on a mac? I'm a web designer and i need a good keyboard to type code on for hours straight. Would you recommend it?

[phototristan]

@MotionArtsHD Yes it sure is. There's even a Mac driver which enables the eject key and volume/mute/power. I would indeed recommend it quite highly.

[MotionArtsHD]

@phototristan Cool! thanks for the reply!

[shrumpkin]

Aah...another keyboard vid! More! Love them.

[felixduhcat89]

I love the intro music btw :D

[felixduhcat89]

This was one of my choices on buying a new good keyboard. Is it really good???

[phototristan]

@felixduhcat89 Well, I'm still getting use to it since it's so small and doesn't have separate arrow or F keys and the layout is a bit different for some of the keys than I'm used to. So far so good though. I really like the feel of the 45g keys and the overall form factor of this keyboard so far.
