can we agree to stop calling any keyboard "ultimate"?

Right, the "ultimate" KB does not exist IMO. Even wrose than "end game".

Formatting clearly shows this thread was dumped like a dog turd on the sidewalk

Not a fan, but the fact that there is a programmable knob means this'll hopefully beat the piece of shit Logitech Craft chiclet keyboard with a know that they are selling for $199.

$199 for a fucking knob on a chiclet keyboard.

Apparently not just the thread, here’s a screenshot taken from the video advertised in the firts post:

Gee, this will have the SP layout! Now, if we could figure what language and/or country this code corresponds to...

Spoiler:

codemonkeymike · 26 Apr 2018, 14:32

This all is giving me a headache, from the branding to the poor formatting of your post to the hyperbolic language. Also if you spent so much time on developing each part then why did you go with the same gamer-y lasered keycaps as every cheap alibaba keyboard?

oh c'mon guys, give them their 15mins of fame

More like 15 minutes of infamy, amirite?

I kinda feel bad (if slightly) for the actual engineers on this particular project, who now have to see their product being ridiculed because of the incompetence of a dumbass marketer...

j0d1 · 26 Apr 2018, 15:26

I find it odd that someone pledged 1k$ for a full metal custom "Royal Edition" with zero mention / pictures on the kickstarter page.

Gee, I had a flashback to that movie... King Ralph. In particular, the scene where he resigns.

Featured on Deskthority!.. by its own goddamn manufacturer.

Drevo, 'featured in' sections mean that someone else bothered to write an article on a website about your product. Your own posts don't count. Same with your own reddit post:

Wodan · 26 Apr 2018, 15:52

I don't think that usage of the Deskthority logo is legal ... maybe Webwit can file a complaint with Kickstarter.

Don't think we can do anything about it. Kickstarters do this all the time.

Is "penultimate" acceptable? Or "the one before the end-game"?

matt3o · 26 Apr 2018, 16:10

I'd totally get a "start-game" keyboard

j0d1 · 26 Apr 2018, 16:13

My girlfriend calls all my keyboards "end game", as in "is it your end game already !?"

Now, that's the spirit of an innovator!

All right, then. That's what I shall be naming my SKB60 ortho (when I do build it, of course).

This because it shall be, incredibly, my first foray into ortholinear keyboards.

Better yet it is just a screen grab from the header. lol worthy. I don't think any of the logos are logos of publications.

Maybe because I kept calling them out for their shitty advertising tactics (see: keyboards-f2/blademaster-keyboard-comes ... 18721.html) but I'm offended I didn't get mentioned.

Thanks. I need to say the knob on Logitech really has more tech. It is the example we need to learn from them. But I will promise the blademaster mechanical will never let you down with a reasonable price.

You should add @green-squid to your Special Thanks section.

Serious question: do you have pictures of the metallic version?
