deskthority

Why does it say "added spam link removed by mod, user banned" up there? I didn't put in a link there in my original post? […]


The poster quoted you, but edited the quote by adding a spam link to lure readers as if it were your link..
So the mod removed the spam link and banned the spammer.

Thread opener turned out to be a spammer and has been banned.

Well, perhaps it's not a spammer, but simply someone completely, really and utterly new to the world of mechanical keyboards.
Let's wait and see

Registering with DT obviously works again, somebody must have fixed that.
Whoever that was, thanks

Under ‚Private Messages‘, all old PM are under ‚Sent messages‘ whereas newer ones are under ‚Outbox‘. Do they not even get sent any more?


This is normal.
When you send a PM, it is first stored in "Outbox" until the recipient (who receives a notification) fetches it, and is then automatically ...

Toothpick, really?
Never heard of that kind of issue with a Cherry keyboard

Same here, but removing the "s" from "https" in the URL opens the wiki for me.

By the way,, at about the same time it seems the problem appeared, the "cookies overlay" referred to in this post ...

Poor old terminal keyboard
Mind posting a pic?

Would you please elaborate?

It was a massive spam attack with several dozens of spam threads, now cleaned up.
Thank you to all who reported them..

I had the exact same problem with the exact same keyboard, although I think it smelled more of a wet basement (I simply don't know how old electronics smell). I ended up putting it (opened ) in a closed plastic box on a plastic gitter over one pound of ground coffee for several days.

In the end it ...

"00" is not uncommon on point of sale (POS) keyboards

If you are such an "enthusiast of mechanical keyboards" and not just spamming with an advertising link, how about providing more details about you and your equipment?

Just uncheck the pre-checked boxes and you're fine.

Preh? They make non-mechanical point of sale keyboards.

Here's an old pic I took more than 10 years ago - you bet the keyboard has long been discarded, after all it hadn't a Lambo attached to it

This in fact is the Belgian AZERTY layout.

[…] Also, what type of keyboard is that?

It is obviously a Cherry G8x-1000 HxD

betty4920taylor chose to post in another thread, again with obviously ChatGPT-generated text, but that time adding content copied text from other posts and a spam link. That one was deleted and the author banned.
I chose to let the post above stand to show how dumb AI can be.

Goodbye ...

@ betty4920taylor
Your post is quite obviously ChatGPT-generated sh… spam and is blocked from editing anyway.
So if you do not post a less nonsensical answer, and do it soon, we will delete your post and your account.

Oh, by the way, welcome to DT

As a professional typist who at the time was completely unaware of anything keyboard related, when I had to replace my programmable Cherry G80-2100 (MX black switches), I wondered why its successor (G81-3083 with MY switches) felt so horrible and impossible to use, and for the first time learned ...
