>it's another "gaydditor tourist trying to rewrite Ganker history" episode
Within the first day of Ganker, five insults appeared, in the following order: moron, homosexual, Black person, dumbass, israelite. Pretending that looking down on gays, israelites, and blacks isn't part of the default Ganker culture is as close to outing yourself as an invader as it gets.
We were posting happy merchant and around blacks never relax cartoons before your mother tried to unsuccessfully abort you.
I was here when you still was in your dad's balls and moot was still a homosexual.
Ganker called Black folk Black folk because it was fun, not because they wanted to own the libs epic style.
You polgays are more obnoxious than trannies and vegans combined and act like most of the world even cares about your little idpol crusade against commiefornia and your childhood trauma.
The housing crisis could be entirely solved by the rent-free space you to the trannies an average person from uncucked countries never sees in his entire life.

So you agreed with him...?
Yes, the racist stuff was jokes back then. Oldgays were mostly bleeding heart leftists in the 2000s because they were young. But now they've grown up and thus shifted to the Right. If you're not left-leaning in your 20s, you don't have a heart. But if you're not Right-leaning in your 30s, you don't have a brain.
We just grew up. You didn't. And it embarrasses you, I get it. But you bring it on yourself by thinking like a kid.
Scientology is so innocuous and unimportant I don't even know why that's what they decided on.
>A silly religion that doesn't tell people to beat their wives or sell their children to slavery is swindling rich folk out of their money! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE
Like, I was fricking there and it still doesn't make sense. Maybe it was just a perfect storm of internet accessibility, the infancy of the internet, and an entire generation of teenagers with nothing to do. I mean it's not like they had Scientology or Epstein to choose between, nobody knew about the guy back then. It was probably almost entirely because of that South Park episode and Tom Cruise being a weirdo.

like I said in my post I was there and it was pretty clear that while the more front-facing image of the movement was presented as for teh epic lulz, the people posting in the threads and making videos about it and posting on social media were definitely emotionally invested in the whole thing. It was championed very much as a righteous cause, in a similar manner as that one talk show host /b/ fricked with for a while. It was not treated the same way Habbo Hotel or Naruto forum raids were.
This was also around the same time Ganker started getting national corporate media attention exploding vans, internet hate machine, hackers can turn your computer into a bomb, etc and this was about the time that the modern 'Anonymous is Legion' mentality started to fully form, different from its earlier days; when additional lines were added to the "we do not forgive we do not forget" mantra, when "Anonymous" started to take shape as an actual sociopolitical movement, however decentralized it is. "Anonymous" started becoming more than an unaffiliated group of unnamed shitposters and started becoming an activist movement.
I feel "Anonymous" as a group finally got some form of legitimacy due to news coverage, and this emboldened many of the kids and teens that considered themselves "Anonymous," and this had something to do with the moral crusade feeling the Scientology thing had going on. A sense of, "oh, we matter, people notice us now, we can make a difference."
As always when you post something like this, some fricking moron
There was an increase of self-identified nazis starting in 2014. Back in 2006 it was just shock humor, now it's too goddamn serious all the time.
will crawl out of the woodwork to tell you that literally everyone on the site where they scream the n word and laugh over GNAA was just being completely ironic, and not a single person was actually racist.
>and not a single person was actually racist.
Of course people were racist, but shit like this was about offending people not constant b***hing about Black folk and israelites.
There wasn't much precedent or warrant for constantly b***hing about Black folk, israelites, homosexuals, trannies, the bogeyman, serbs, etc 15 years ago. Now they're astroturfed to hell and back. Reactionary politics are called reactionary for a reason.

>writing "the n word"
What kind of sissy homosexual troony israelite Black person are you that you get so triggered by a word that you can't even write it, as if it was some spell that disintegrated you if you did?
"the n word" has a different delivery and comedic pacing to it than saying "Black person," and that's what I wanted when I said "the n word" as opposed to "Black person" while I was referencing the Gay Black person Association of America. How old are you? This is the kind of shit I posted 15 years ago, just totally flipping out on someone for having unacceptably high levels of perceived political correctness. Why did you just automatically assume I'm your enemy? Why did you assume there's only 2 camps for the n word; those who say it constantly and those who burst into treats when they hear it? Why do you have such a fricking undeveloped world view akin to a teenager?
If you were old enough to not be talked down to by an adult twice your age, why don't you know about GNAA, and why would you assume someone talking about them in plain, not overly emotional terms has this presumed issue with saying "Black person?" Why did you react to me saying "the n word" the same way a libtard reacts to you saying "Black person?" Why are you a homosexual?

You come off like a teenager who just recently decided he was a conservative, but doesn't really know what that means besides your general animosity towards libtards.

Also since you made it so obvious that you've got autismal sperg rage over the phrase "the n word," why would I stop using it and start saying "Black person?" Just to appease you? A dumb homosexual? I would go out of my way not to upset you because I like you so much, is that it? You didn't even ask me nicely. At least libtards will once in a while be polite while policing speech.

This is probably the only time I've seen someone accuse someone else of being an election tourist and it feeling accurate and appropriate.
How delusional do you have to be to believe this strawman? People telling you to frick off to /misc/ are doing so because you're spamming off topic american politics trash every other word. Shitbrains like you would actually think the habbo raids were a serious political statement and not just fun fricking around to make normalgays mad.
Oh, the irony... >poster writes 41%, as a joke >poster writes 13/50, as a joke >literally not different than calling someone a Black person or a troony to watch their reaction >anon seethes and calls them /misc/ because he can't fathom people find insulting Black folk and trannies funny, because he's a tourist
Then you reply claiming they're (1) spamming (2) off-topic (3) american politics trash, as if dabbing on Black folk and trannies for fun only happens in the USA. I can't even fathom how mentally ill you must be. Even here in Germany little kids see a black and say "Black person!" and they run away to hide, solely because it's funny, no different than a prank call.
>hurr durr false equivalence >newbie tourist doesn't know the difference between making normalgays on habbo and other internet shitholes mad and constantly dumping politics on Ganker itself
Where do trannies get impression they're liked by anyone? Every single possible demographic hates you. Straight people hate you, all the other queers hate you, and among all the races, ethnicities, religions, political, ideological, and socioeconomic orientations or denominations, they all hate you. If a troony were to appear in the last indigenous village untouched by civilization, their first reaction would be "I hate this creature and it must die". Literally nobody stands your existence. You're a complete and absolute blight upon mankind.
Everyone hates you and you aren’t welcome on any board except lgbt.
Holy shit how insecure are Poltards ?
You really need to be reassured that you're liked on other boards ?
Sorry but you'll see more en more posts like this one. You're not wanted anywhere anymore except maybe /b/
I can't tell you how much I miss using a numpad. I bought a separate unit just to restore the functionality. Though I also use it as a shortcut board for my drawing tablet so it actually works out to my advantage.
given how situational (but fantastic) numpads are i think it's legit better to have a 75% with a separate numpad purely for desk real estate management.
You know you wont need your numpad for weeks? just push it at the back. Boom tons of mouse space.
>Took a while to get used to them though, I kept hitting a macro key when trying to go for tab for weeks.
Yeah, problem is now when I use a keyboard without them it feels weirds, as if something is missing.
This is correct. Saw some Macgay on YouTube showing off his moronic desk setup, filled with overpriced trash, including an overpriced tenkeyless keyboard... and a wireless numpad that he bought.

You remind me of the type of people that cry about games playing better on the controller because they think since a joystick isn't on a keyboard it can't be good.

95% is okay if you really need a few inches of desk space. The only real loss is PrintScr, so taking screenshots is harder and on Linux you have to patch SysRq to be something else in your kernel.
This plus media control keys. I can never go back from having pause/play/next/last and volume right next to my hand. Logitech G815, I kneel. Will only ever buy these
100% is the only good one. 80% is suboptimal but I can understand it if someone is using a shitty office keyboard.
Any other choice is for transsexuals
Why don't people who say they need a numpad just come out and say that they're accountants or that they work in data entry, as those are the only explanations that could justify it. My numpad is literally caked in dust because a typical person never touches it.
Numpads are mandatory for videogames unless you're a normalgay who only plays FPS or something. Also people other than accountants still type numbers occasionally, and the top bar of numbers is garbage for anything longer than a single digit.
Position of mouse and keyboard without numpad is more natural, since you don't have to reach further.
And there's no good use for numpad if you're not an accountant.
TKL is superior format.
>Position of mouse and keyboard without numpad is more natural, since you don't have to reach further.

If you need more than a 60% for normal computer usage, you just can't type. Period. 65% is the patrician choice. If you need more keys than that, you probably play too much autismo shit or asiaticclick RTS and also can't type, but feel free to use anything you like, because nobody gives a shit. This is a gay thread, nobody cares what the frick (you) use for typing you dumb gay and nobody is going to change their preference, because you made an oftop shitpost on a board about fricking vidya.
60% I find optimal for coding, but that's just folks who either have hand problems or are aware enough about them, to want to do something to avoid them (other than getting a job that actually benefits the society). 40% is something that requires getting used to and it's biggest benefit is portability. This is the main the reason codemonkeys use it - if you move around different sites with a laptop, this is a keyboard that is functional enough and you can fit in you pocket. Ortho is a fricking meme pushed by troons and lesbos that requires you to re-learn typing and goes against all the ergonomic progress that's been made over decades. Same goes for any spherical keycaps - just a bunch of gays pretending it's the 80's. Dvorak and Colemak layouts are actually more ergonomic / faster, but since everyone grew up with QWERTY, it's months of learning a new layout only to be slightly faster, because by the time you start using one, your learning capabilities are far inferior to old habbits.
99% of keybgays are just redditors who got addicted to browsing r/mk shillboard, have no idea about keyboards and their purpouse whatsover and just waste money on useless meme shit, because there's a new trend and you now need a hot-swapable, aluminum keyboard with gay-halo switches and a colorful keyset that cost more than the board itsefl and they all pray to this one Dutch opinionated youtube homosexual who can't even type properly.
Did the creators of this keyboard not give any consideration to putting more common emojis in more accessible spots, face with tears of joy is alright but loudly crying face is way too common to be where it is
Why do you people care so strongly about what other people do? As far as I'm concerned you could all you 3% keyboard and eat shit, I don't give a frick. Doesn't affect me in any way.
>still have this baby >discontinued about 10 years ago after Steel Seeries bought it and replaced it with generic overpriced RGB shit
Is it so hard to make an ergonomic keyboard for gaming?
Why even those gaming paws and claws and shit have the basic keyboard layout huge ass CAPS key included?
>generic overpriced RGB shit
I actually have an SS mouse and I like it a lot though the pointless LED screen on it is impossible to configure
but I am so frickin sick of everything having RGB lights nowadays. There's that frickin tiktok of some dumb bint sayin like "How fast do you leave when your tinder hookup has a lightup keyboard" or some shit. That pissed me off more than it should've because it made me realize that basically all fricking mechanical keyboards now are RGB. Sure you CAN still buy non lightbright funhouse fisher price keyboards, but they're 20 or 30 dollars more than the RGB shit cuz only the RGB shit is being mass produced, and there's way less variety than there was even 5 years ago.
I'm suddenly extremely thankful that office workplaces, schools, video games, and whatever else aren't trying to shove dvorak down people's throats, the same way IT businesses and dev teams try with shitty file formats like webp or some shit.
Never allowed to break or take anything apart as a kid, never asked to help dad work on the car, never given a lego set as a kid, was given a tablet as soon as the umbilical was cut, never allowed to help out in the kitchen or cook for himself. Who knows. Lots of reasons for a zoom zoom to be moronic.
But it is pretty bad that the kid spends nearly a full minute before realizing the gears and wheels, which open and close with the arms, must have some vital purpose. And probably only after someone in the background made fun of him for it.
You don't need an AZERTY keyboard, just any ISO Layout will do, then you just need to replace keys. Look for UK/ISO Layouts, will be easier to find than AZERTY from the get go.
People tend to get upset when they witness displays of inexcusably terrible taste. It's no different than e.g. you watching someone eat cereal from a bowl but with ketchup instead of milk.
What's the deal with "keeb" enthusiasts?
People actually spend hundreds of dollars on (oftentimes multiple) builds and even have meetups
It's some sort of weird refined autism
I'm not a keeb entusiast.
I don't understand people collecting keyboards with different keycap colors.
However, the average keyboard is irredeemable trash - unpleasant to type on, unpleasant to game on (any fighting game on keyboard pretty much requires NKRO), not programmable, customisable and not repairable. At least it's cheap enough to just replace it.
You can do something (for example, I remap caps to esc with software), but not everything.
And don't get me started on unusual layouts, like split kbs without staggered columns, which are only a thing in overpriced segment.
I personally use ~100$ mechanical chinkboard, which is on the low end for decent ones, and there are much better keyboards.
TLDR - using a cheap kb is like using office mouse.
I love my 40% planck, great for programming, you have to do some adjustments for gaming tho.
That confuses me as well, building one or two quality keyboards sure, I mean they sound and feel great, but having a shelf with 10 keyboards displayed on it I don't get, and I've seen some people on reddit having one keeb for everyday of the week ??? why

Home and End are self explanatory, they got to the start and end of a line.
Ctrl + Home/End jumps to the top/bottom of your document
Sysrq is literally ignored on current OS. It was an IBM thing that basically reset commands when shit locked up
Scoll lock makes your arrows scroll the screen
Pause break was made to stop a program from launching halfway through. I think now it's just for BIOS stuff.
Insert toggles between 2 modes;
Insert new text
Overwrite new text
So when you type stuff infront of text it will either move the old text along or overwrite as you type.
It was also the original way to copy paste.
Ctrl + Insert = Copy
Shift + Insert = Paste
I use a 100% and a 60%.
The only reason to use smaller keyboards is for space. In my case, my shitty desk is too small and to use the larger keyboard comfortably I need to be slightly offset to the left in relation to my monitor, otherwise I have too little room for the mouse. When typing a lot of things, this position can be a problem.
The smaller keyboard fixes this problem, but you need to adapt to layers. There are people who think that layers are increasing their productivity but to me it doesn't make sense. In theory you can remap your larger keyboard and add layers to it as well. More keys is always better, as long as you have the space to use everything comfortably.
It's where control diodes and manufacturer logo goes.
No idea why some nerd draw keys there. >inb4 media keys
Might as well add keys above directional and above function keys, since that's what some manufacturers liked to put them.
media keys are comfy, I like being able to pause shit or mute my pc without having to actually use a ui, global keys don't always cut it because some games hate that shit
Why we don't have keyboards with numpad on the LEFT side, opposite of mouse?
Why we don't have keyboards with more keys near the thumbs beyond oversized space?
Why we have this moronic caps key in the most premium position?
Would ESDF + ctrl rebound to caps be superior to WASD + Ctrl?
Even wagies would benefit from the numpad being on the left. It's so much easier to just lift your left hand onto the numpad rather than taking your right hand off the mouse to use the numpad.

The browser doesn't matter because the entirety of the modern web is absolute dogshit. You're ultimately fussing about the gate keeper of the dogshit show.
My ideal keyboard would be one where you always alternate between hands when typing, but a system like that would require a layout that literally "changes on the fly" as you type. Also I don't know if you could physically reach all 26 letters with only one hand in a timely manner.

100% and 95% are made for pure desktop or office workstation work
80%(tkl) and 75% is balance between work and play
65% is waste lacking function keys from 75%
60% gets rids of fricking arrow keys and function keys
50% gets rid of arrow , function, and number row keys
40% is obviously just a fricking meme number
I prefer 75% cuz its good enough for my games and dev work
you just made me wonder why game controllers are all "left-handed" by having you control movement with the left thumb
not that using a dpad requires much dexterity, but I feel like it's more complicated than doing the button presses
First person games require you to use the right stick for aiming by default. Right-handed people would have better control over it in theory.
It just occurred to me that it's probably a gradual evolution starting with the NES; the D-pad was on the left. Everything that came after imitated this.
100% is best for productivity.
80% if fine for productivity if you don't need to type a lot of numbers or make a lot of small calculations.
60% is best for gaming.
40% is best for travel.
Everything in between is a meme.

I have an old shitty dell membrane keyboard that I use whenever my main keyboard is kaput, and holy shit is it like wiping your ass with sandpaper after years of the fancy paper.
>no media buttons, have to alt+tab every time I want to pause, back/next, restart, etc >even volume needs to be alt+tabbed >can't press more than 3 keys at a time >moronic "ergonomic" button shapes, space bar is a giant oval, shift key same size and shape as a regular key, no cool indent on capslock, etc >sux ass at mashing, dropped or repeated inputs are common
>using membrane all my life >global schlomos want to convince me they are unusable now and i should drop hundreds of dollars for a clickity clack mechanical bullshit
Frick off.
you're not going to become trans just because you have a good keyboard, anon, not every israeli conspiracy is out to re-enact Sauron's uruk-hai program. Sometimes they just wanna sell you an overpriced (but good) product.
I'm satisfied with my membrane. These fricks want everything to be "an experience" and "an expression of yourself". This is why these mechanicals are so lousy. IM TYPING! DO YOU HEAR IT!?
There's literally nothing wrong with using membrane keyboards and don't let any marketing convince you otherwise.
I respect that you enjoy your membrane but I personally dislike the feel.
I can also refute your implied statement about needing people to hear me type with one simple counterpoint.
I play video games alone in my room. There is nobody to hear me type. I simply like the feel of a mechanical keyboard.
I wasn't saying this is why you buy it but it just became a part of the selling point. There are even keyboards with membrane made to sound like a mechanical as a selling point. It's insane. Apparently humankind hasn't advanced enough technologically for a silent mechanical keyboard become commercially viable. Maybe another 50 years of intense research will do.
It's satisfying to hear the click and clack. It's like hearing a wood saw, or a diesel engine. It's a mild comfort in the back of the human mind cuz it's the sound of work being done. I would always pick a clacky keyboard over a silent keyboard. When I'm on a membrane I miss it. That said my keyboard isn't outrageously loud while typing, and I wouldn't want one louder, or one arbitrarily made to make noise when it isn't necessary.
>Friend of mine gets a mini keyboard because he thinks they're cool >Constantly bemoans the shortcomings of a literally shorter keyboard. >Tell him if it's so bad just go back to a regular keyboard >"Naaah man this one is fine I just need to get used to it"
I love the guy but frick if he isn't the exact kind of person these fricking things appeal to. Constantly chasing the next niche electronic bullshit and stubborn as a mule.
I mean I guess if I was in some extremely contrived work environment where I have to stand at my desk, but also don't have a desk or anywhere to place my mouse, I'd rather have that doohickey than rubbing my mouse all over my thigh or something. But it seems like a whole lot of wasted effort just getting used to the thing when less silly options are available.
While we're on the topic, what's a good modern equivalent to the old Dell keyboards? I always liked the way it felt but it's like the older Microsoft Intellimouse, I don't think they make it anymore.
I don't mind going for "gamer" brands, it's not like my mouse isn't one, and price for premium mechanical shit isn't too much of a concern. Honestly I'd like something in a solid understated color rather than lit up like a drag queen contest but I'll take what's available.
I've been thinking about it for the past 3 minutes and I can't come up with a situation that would reasonably call for this mess. Is it for some kind of injury? It has rear view mirrors.
I feel like carpel tunnel caused by computers is something made up by dumb boomers. Virtually all my free time besides errands and chores is in front of my PC, and this has been the case since I was 11. The only time my wrists ever got sore in all these years was when I moved into a new apartment; my PC was sat on a big cubby box and my seat was a folding lawn chair. Went away after a week or two after finally getting a real chair and desk. I basically had to have my wrist bent at a 90 degree angle for months before I even noticed there was an issue and it went away practically immediately after I addressed it.

Really like having macro buttons on the left so I can map them to keys like Enter, Backspace and Delete. Too many games use these keys out of nowhere and it's a b***h to randomly move either my left or right hand to them during gameplay.
How delusional do you have to be to believe this strawman? People telling you to frick off to /misc/ are doing so because you're spamming off topic american politics trash every other word. Shitbrains like you would actually think the habbo raids were a serious political statement and not just fun fricking around to make normalgays mad.
>not just fun fricking around to make normalgays mad
You've become the normalgay
Let me teach you something, a little spoonfeeding for a newbie. Don't shit where you eat. Old Ganker knew to keep the trolling off-site with off-site targets. Local shitposting was pure fun, not political in nature, and unlike now it wasn't side by side with (You) and your tourist friends flooding every board with american identity politics and regular politics alongside low effort attempts at claiming it's "just trolling haha".
What you do is shit where you eat, because you eat that shit.
Really powerful autism at work in the dev team to go for a full sized keyboard instead of a scaled down keypad like pic related. I would've frickin loved to have a controller like that as a kid.
This.
I bought a high quality TKL (TenKeyLess, everything but without the numpad) a few years back.
It's been great. I noticed I used to slam my mouse against the side of the keyboard too many times, so there's plenty of room now that there's no numpad.
HOWEVER, numpad is too useful. Especially for Excel and maybe Blender.
I just don't get why keyboards where the numpad is on the left side aren't more popular. It makes way more sense: more space for your mouse but you can still use the numpad.
Are you literally moronic?
Were you dropped on your head as a baby?
A keyboard with a numpad on the left would still be the same size as with one on the right. You'd still slam your mouse on it no matter where the numpad was.
You can't be serious...? You're really that dumb?
Gap between typing keys and mouse is the same as a TKL.
This is embarrassing... to have to explain this.
Not that anon but when you have the millimeter-precise perfect position for your keyboard you don't want to move it. Then again, I'm not an Asian progamer so my keyboard slides everywhere throughout the day.

buy a long mouse pad. I bought a long ass mouse pad on accident cuz I just wanted a bit more width instead of having to put two pads next to each other, so now I have like 3 feet of mousepad on my desk. I put most of it under my keyboard and it hardly slides around at all now, and I still got plenty of space for my mouse.
What do you even use a numpad for? Occasionally you'll use a program with important keybinds on the numpad like blender, but generally it just sits there taking up valuable desk space
The space the numpad sits would be better taken up by literally anything else. It's a near-useless addition to every keyboard and its modern-day expulsion is something to celebrate
I have been called a newbie at least once or twice a year for the last 15 years, so maybe they're more similar than you think. Or maybe you're more right than I think.
80% is the ideal keyboard. numpad is useless unless you're being a cuck doing data entry for work, but in that case you have your work peripherals and computer so why would your personal keyboard play into it?
you're both moronic because normal people do not talk about politics constantly as they know it's a good way to start fights, and trannies and LGBT nonsense as a whole has firmly embedded itself in the gaming industry and gaming as a hobby and trying to say otherwise is naive ignorance at best
This thread perfectly illustrates how many normalgays and nongamers are here. For the record 65% is the best common format for variety gaming. The space I gained going from TKL to 65% gave a whole new dimension to my mouse aim. 75% may be best variety choice overrall for the few games that use FN keys a lot, but it's not hard to press 2 buttons instead of 1.
I love my 60% Anne Pro 2 keyboard.
I get a shitload more functionality out of it from my caps lock key being an FN key, so I can have "home, end, pageup/down, etc" all bound in a layer under my wasd row for more keybinds in vidya.
However I think 40% would be way too overkill.
Additional keys usually mapped by firmware. Can be remapped by something like autohotkey.
I only recall these as 108% or 110%. Dunno why it's listed as 100% in the picture
I recently bought one of those wireless logitech kbm combos, but the problem is the thing starts to not work if you get more than one foot away from the computer. For example, I typed this out from the normal location I keep my wired kb.
Typing itself isn't the issue, it's , it's trying to do normal fricking commands like alt+f4 or shift+v in VLC, which is the main reason I even bothered to get it. I have an HDMI cable that's about 10 feet long going across the room to my TV, and I wanted to be able to do shit without having to either switch the output back to my main monitor or crane my head 180 degrees backwards, since the tv and monitor face eachother.
And the situation becomes completely untenable should I attempt to type from directly below my television. I tried to type these 2 sentences over there, and literally not even the first line break registered in the text box.
At least the mouse is better than my old one, no more double click issue for now.
Yeah, this one.
I got not fricking money, otherwise I would've gotten a better one. Hell, I really only bought it for the mouse since it was technically cheaper than the individually packaged ones.
Well, you wouldn't need keyboard commands for xbone. It's a fine for typing, but when literally nothing other than typing works from a range of more than one foot, it may as well be less than a 40%.
Anyone who thinks the numpad is useless has never had the pleasure of doing any kind of math or had to type just numbers for a long period of time. I wish it was standardized on the left instead of the right, had its own space button, and an extra row or shift keys on the math function buttons for other math shit like brackets and caret.

>it's another "gaydditor tourist trying to rewrite Ganker history" episode
Within the first day of Ganker, five insults appeared, in the following order: moron, homosexual, Black person, dumbass, israelite. Pretending that looking down on gays, israelites, and blacks isn't part of the default Ganker culture is as close to outing yourself as an invader as it gets.
We were posting happy merchant and around blacks never relax cartoons before your mother tried to unsuccessfully abort you.
I was here when you still was in your dad's balls and moot was still a homosexual.
Ganker called Black folk Black folk because it was fun, not because they wanted to own the libs epic style.
You polgays are more obnoxious than trannies and vegans combined and act like most of the world even cares about your little idpol crusade against commiefornia and your childhood trauma.

Want to know the truth? You won't like it.
Yes, the racist stuff was jokes back then. Oldgays were mostly bleeding heart leftists in the 2000s because they were young. But now they've grown up and thus shifted to the Right. If you're not left-leaning in your 20s, you don't have a heart. But if you're not Right-leaning in your 30s, you don't have a brain.
We just grew up. You didn't. And it embarrasses you, I get it. But you bring it on yourself by thinking like a kid.

Maybe it was just a perfect storm of internet accessibility, the infancy of the internet, and an entire generation of teenagers with nothing to do. I mean it's not like they had Scientology or Epstein to choose between, nobody knew about the guy back then. It was probably almost entirely because of that South Park episode and Tom Cruise being a weirdo.

homie who gives a shit you think shoving things up your ass in a skirt makes you a girl
There were also instances of them withholding prescription drugs from people who were dangerous without them. Not sure how widespread it was, but I remember one of them going apeshit in a hotel or something after being forced to go cold turkey.
Secret societies are amusing, it's not rocket science
for the lulz, moron
it was always for the lulz
like I said in my post I was there and it was pretty clear that while the more front-facing image of the movement was presented as for teh epic lulz, the people posting in the threads and making videos about it and posting on social media were definitely emotionally invested in the whole thing. It was championed very much as a righteous cause, in a similar manner as that one talk show host /b/ fricked with for a while. It was not treated the same way Habbo Hotel or Naruto forum raids were.
This was also around the same time Ganker started getting national corporate media attention exploding vans, internet hate machine, hackers can turn your computer into a bomb, etc and this was about the time that the modern 'Anonymous is Legion' mentality started to fully form, different from its earlier days; when additional lines were added to the "we do not forgive we do not forget" mantra, when "Anonymous" started to take shape as an actual sociopolitical movement, however decentralized it is. "Anonymous" started becoming more than an unaffiliated group of unnamed shitposters and started becoming an activist movement.
I feel "Anonymous" as a group finally got some form of legitimacy due to news coverage, and this emboldened many of the kids and teens that considered themselves "Anonymous," and this had something to do with the moral crusade feeling the Scientology thing had going on. A sense of, "oh, we matter, people notice us now, we can make a difference."
According to you, some anonymous moron.
As always when you post something like this, some fricking moron
will crawl out of the woodwork to tell you that literally everyone on the site where they scream the n word and laugh over GNAA was just being completely ironic, and not a single person was actually racist.
>and not a single person was actually racist.
Of course people were racist, but shit like this was about offending people not constant b***hing about Black folk and israelites.
There wasn't much precedent or warrant for constantly b***hing about Black folk, israelites, homosexuals, trannies, the bogeyman, serbs, etc 15 years ago. Now they're astroturfed to hell and back. Reactionary politics are called reactionary for a reason.
People act like the only thing that exists is bad news.
Don't blame them honestly.
That's all that gets reported on or talked about.
Good news nowadays is gas being 5 cents cheaper than yesterday. The bad news is you're still paying 90 cents more than you were 3 months ago.

Okay so now inflation don't be real, goy? You just implied it was, but that it wasn't a big deal. Now it's not happening at all and never will, and also never has, even though we have many historical examples, and even examples from the last decade of this happening.
libtards have no theory of mind and operate like goldfish in a time frame of the last 5 seconds and the next 5 seconds; that's why they constantly shove their foot in their mouth. All that matters is looking right in the moment, regardless of the context of the conversation. They pilpul like israelites, but are bad at it.

the libtard gaslighting has been really bad in the last week or so. Both the quality and the quantity.

There's no money in reporting good news.
>Black folk and israelites.

>writing "the n word"
What kind of sissy homosexual troony israelite Black person are you that you get so triggered by a word that you can't even write it, as if it was some spell that disintegrated you if you did?
"the n word" has a different delivery and comedic pacing to it than saying "Black person," and that's what I wanted when I said "the n word" as opposed to "Black person" while I was referencing the Gay Black person Association of America. How old are you? This is the kind of shit I posted 15 years ago, just totally flipping out on someone for having unacceptably high levels of perceived political correctness. Why did you just automatically assume I'm your enemy? Why did you assume there's only 2 camps for the n word; those who say it constantly and those who burst into treats when they hear it? Why do you have such a fricking undeveloped world view akin to a teenager?
If you were old enough to not be talked down to by an adult twice your age, why don't you know about GNAA, and why would you assume someone talking about them in plain, not overly emotional terms has this presumed issue with saying "Black person?" Why did you react to me saying "the n word" the same way a libtard reacts to you saying "Black person?" Why are you a homosexual?
TL;DR - resume it in once sentence next time.
You're the normalgay in this scenario, seething-kun. Behold: Black person.
>y-you're a normalgay because you don't want the most normalgay of normalgay topics (politics) drowning out actual on-topic hobby board discussion
Except nobody is discussing politics but you. Writing "41%" and pretending that is any different than writing "Pool's Closed" 15 years ago only shows that you're the problem here. You are indeed the normalgay in 2022, because your skin has become so thin, that you can only believe there MUST be a political element to someone's jokes for they to make them, which also mean you're batshit insane.
Again TL;DR. I'm not reading your wall of seethe.
>he actually thinks politics (the most normalgay thing possible) isn't normalgay behavior
>he thinks people being tired of hearing about politics and trannies 24/7 are the normalgays
>he's this delusional
You'll be first in line once asylums get reopened.
>he actually thinks politics (the most normalgay thing possible) isn't normalgay behavior
But again, nobody that started this reply chain was posting politics, so your point is completely moot. Writing "41%" isn't discussing politics. This is 100% on you and your deranged head alone.
>Again TL;DR. I'm not reading your wall of seethe.
Yes you did and yes you will lol. This is how it plays out every single time someone pulls this "I muted them, are they still talking?" stunt.
You come off like a teenager who just recently decided he was a conservative, but doesn't really know what that means besides your general animosity towards libtards. Like, you're really adamant and selfrighteous, but about totally stupid nonsense that makes no sense, like tyring to imply someone talking about the Gay Black person Association of America which you aren't old enough to know wtf it is is a libtard that cringes and can't even over the n word.
Also since you made it so obvious that you've got autismal sperg rage over the phrase "the n word," why would I stop using it and start saying "Black person?" Just to appease you? A dumb homosexual? I would go out of my way not to upset you because I like you so much, is that it? You didn't even ask me nicely. At least libtards will once in a while be polite while policing speech.
Again, I'm not reading your wall of text. Resume it into a paragraph at most and I'll indulge you.
We both know you read it and we both know that your pilpul about formatting makes you look moronic. If I removed all the double spaces it would be a single paragraph and you'd still whine that it's too long and hard for you, much like all the wieners you take every day before you get on this site to take a break from your usual, literal homosexualry, by being a figurative, ironic homosexual.
TL;DR - Make it at least 40% shorter.
Are you posting a comic about yourself?
I've been here since 2005 + I've never set foot in your shithole mutt gay country and I never will, but thanks for proving you're a gayddit tourist, the only kind that have a meltdown over a singular word and pretend there is a whole discussion behind it solely so you can justify your seething.
You get a pass.

>call anon a tourist

It's a bit funny that you're defending an anon that spammed the whole thread about "muh politics" precisely because a post like yours.
Another internet argument won, as usual.
Why even bother making the post in the first place if you're going to give up the second you realize I'm not one of your bogeymen? Where did you learn that this manner of conversation endears you or your views to others? You're pilpulling, only you're doing the poor, low quality pilpul libtards tend to pull.
>TL;DR
Everyone who says this read the post in question. It's no different than declaring you muted or blocked someone; no one who says so actually did, they just want to see the reaction without the expectation of a response, like a passive aggressive homosexual. You're not old enough to be using this site.
>Behold: Black person.
again this is the kind of shit people posted 15 years ago when they thought they were riling someone up. This isn't the environment for it to work and hasn't been ever, really. Go to twitter if you wanna say the n word and make people mad. Right now, people aren't mad that you're saying the n word, they're mad you're under the impression saying it will make them mad. You're a child and moronic so you don't understand this.
Whatever you say, Black person

This is probably the only time I've seen someone accuse someone else of being an election tourist and it feeling accurate and appropriate.
How delusional do you have to be to believe this strawman? People telling you to frick off to /misc/ are doing so because you're spamming off topic american politics trash every other word.

>literally not different than calling someone a Black person or a troony to watch their reaction
>anon seethes and calls them /misc/ because he can't fathom people find insulting Black folk and trannies funny, because he's a tourist
Then you reply claiming they're (1) spamming (2) off-topic (3) american politics trash, as if dabbing on Black folk and trannies for fun only happens in the USA. I can't even fathom how mentally ill you must be. Even here in Germany little kids see a black and say "Black person!" and they run away to hide, solely because it's funny, no different than a prank call.
>hurr durr false equivalence
>newbie tourist doesn't know the difference between making normalgays on habbo and other internet shitholes mad and constantly dumping politics on Ganker itself
You type like a transBlack person.
Where do trannies get impression they're liked by anyone? Every single possible demographic hates you. Straight people hate you, all the other queers hate you, and among all the races, ethnicities, religions, political, ideological, and socioeconomic orientations or denominations, they all hate you. If a troony were to appear in the last indigenous village untouched by civilization, their first reaction would be "I hate this creature and it must die". Literally nobody stands your existence. You're a complete and absolute blight upon mankind.

I can't tell you how much I miss using a numpad. I bought a separate unit just to restore the functionality. Though I also use it as a shortcut board for my drawing tablet so it actually works out to my advantage.
I don't.
given how situational (but fantastic) numpads are i think it's legit better to have a 75% with a separate numpad purely for desk real estate management.
You know you wont need your numpad for weeks? just push it at the back. Boom tons of mouse space.
No...

Yes, it does. May laptop has something like that.

Same. Took a while to get used to them though, I kept hitting a macro key when trying to go for tab for weeks.
>Took a while to get used to them though, I kept hitting a macro key when trying to go for tab for weeks.
Yeah, problem is now when I use a keyboard without them it feels weirds, as if something is missing.
This is correct. Saw some Macgay on YouTube showing off his moronic desk setup, filled with overpriced trash, including an overpriced tenkeyless keyboard... and a wireless numpad that he bought.
The goal was to consoom. And by having to buy the keyboard in 2 parts he was able to consoom more than by just buying a single expensive keyboard.
Yeah, almost certainly. I think I was wrong though, he's not a Macgay.
>had to put the numpad keys on the other side of the mouse to avoid feeling moronic for buying them separately
Can't blame you for making that mistake, desk is styled like Apple promo materials.

You remind me of the type of people that cry about games playing better on the controller because they think since a joystick isn't on a keyboard it can't be good.
Basically you're a moron.
they're not redundant if they have different functionality in different software, moron.

Yes, but that doesn't mean the rest of us don't use our PCs for other things when we're not playing games. If you just use it as a console I'd understand having a brainlet keyboard.
So you feel the need to bring it up out of context then?
Sounds like you have an inferiority complex or something moron, makes sense since you're toe to toe with the likes of me, how can you possibly see yourself as a man after experiencing the anal wreckage I've bestowed upon your dumb ass.
Enjoy needing redundant keys because Ganker poorgays haven't gotten a new keyboard in decades
>Anything below 100% is trash
95% is okay if you really need a few inches of desk space. The only real loss is PrintScr, so taking screenshots is harder and on Linux you have to patch SysRq to be something else in your kernel.
This. I have a 120% at home and 100% at work, I couldn’t imagine going lower.
This. People who think 80% is OK are people who circumcise their kids. God made keyboards one way for a reason.
This plus media control keys. I can never go back from having pause/play/next/last and volume right next to my hand. Logitech G815, I kneel. Will only ever buy these
Truth
100% is a bare minimum, I demand volume keys, my computer and calculator shortcut buttons.

It's shit...
I think you mean 't's sht'
this thing is based. I have one.
wow rebind that key to something else based moron.
I got one of these and it was a huge pain in the ass configuring every game to use it.
Where's the enter key on these things?
Above the right shift key
They are using the beta enter key version.
95% doesn't exist, even on laptops. What a dumb infographic.
I guess i'm writing from something that doesn't exist then
Also, 80% already is disgusting. Keyboard without numpad is no keyboard.
I have a 110% keyboard I guess.
I have a row of macro keys on the left side.
75%
100% is the only good one. 80% is suboptimal but I can understand it if someone is using a shitty office keyboard.
Any other choice is for transsexuals
Why don't people who say they need a numpad just come out and say that they're accountants or that they work in data entry, as those are the only explanations that could justify it. My numpad is literally caked in dust because a typical person never touches it.
Numpads are mandatory for videogames unless you're a normalgay who only plays FPS or something. Also people other than accountants still type numbers occasionally, and the top bar of numbers is garbage for anything longer than a single digit.
then you dont play any of the good vidya and have shit taste
probably only knows fps and asshomosexuals competitive bullshit
>better buy a moronic keyboard because I like cutting important yet unused things out of my life
Literally lack of foresight.
>I like cutting important yet unused things out of my life
well now you understand the troony mentality
underrated post
why would anyone want anything less than 100%?
how much of a basic b***h do you have to be to not want 100% of a keyboard?
>oooooh too many buttans r scurry!!!!
grow the frick up
Laptops can get the "95%" one at BEST
some people just don't have the space
Anon, not everyone is as blessed as you
Position of mouse and keyboard without numpad is more natural, since you don't have to reach further.
And there's no good use for numpad if you're not an accountant.
TKL is superior format.
>Position of mouse and keyboard without numpad is more natural, since you don't have to reach further.
how is this an issue unless you have literal chicken arms?
He could just be a little guy.
And now imagine the same (left) guy putting the right hand on keyboard without moving it, now the right hand in in front of chest and right shoulder is in weird position.
>without moving it
why?
Because I don't want to move the entire board when switching between mouse and typing
why?
it's not like it's glued to the desk
>move the entire board
You're making it sound like it's some gargantuan undertaking and the keyboard weights as much as person. Are you one of those lanky bony sissies that needs help with opening bottles?
No, I'm just a guy who needs to do that every few seconds during work, and while I CAN do that, it will make work slower and more annoying.
>Position of mouse and keyboard without numpad is more natural, since you don't have to reach further.
are you a midge? i can't visualize how tiny someone would have to be to need to reach far for their mouse and keyboard
I do 3D modeling, you're a fricking moron.
What do you bind on it?
I use editors with hundreds of shortcuts and letters/numbers + modifiers + fn keys are enough. And it's usually quicker to do a key sequence than to use something from keyboard Siberia.
woman shouldered midget spotted
Bro like just put the numpad on the mouse?
wait until you find out about chorded keyboards
whats the point in making something just to show off then never using it again
I'm guessing fun
it's a DIY alternative to thousand dollar stenotype machines.
if you know how to use it you can get 200+ wpm with little to no strain
I'd say below 65% I don't know how anyone lives without arrow keys
I don't think arrows are that useful if you don't play with your pc
Where do you think you are?
on /v?
you don't need arrows to shitpost about games you never played
And what is this the board for?
Actually, don't answer that with what you think the answer is, it's for fricking videogames.
Of course you'd use your PC for games you fricking idiot.
>/v
>for videogames
ahahahahahahaha
Sweet child of summer anon
half the people are there to shitpost and make thread about sexy girl coming from games they never played.
It's a sad reality, but you need to deal with it
Or maybe the board could just be purged of shitposters, tourists and other trash the way it should be?
Simple concept.
the road to reddit is paved with good intentions
Reddit is probably unironically better at this point , I'm just far too used to what this place used to be.
How would you solve it then, butthole?
Then leave, dumb frick.
>Or maybe the board could just be purged of shitposters
It could!
But right now is not purged, so my original comment
And I suppose you consider anybody with politics different to your own tourist shitposter trash
below 60% you start using custom firmware with layers of input
some of these dorks even use the keyboard to move the mouse pointer
aaaaAAAAAAAAAA
>"numpads are excessive, you don't need them"
>sets up a hotkey for LEDs
>use the keyboard to move the mouse pointer
that's exactly why I bought pic related. all the home theater keyboards with integrated mousepad have these obnoxious laptop keys which I don't want to deal with
this has mouse control on FN+WASD/XYC. works perfectly as wireless home theater and simrig keyboard
lmfao
scissor switches + laptop keycaps are the bane of my existence
Gonna be honest with you, if you're such a manlet that a 100% keyboard is "Too big", you shouldn't be using a computer.
There are keyboards without numpads? What the frick?
They are for zoomers that never do any work on a computer.
Boards like 40% ortho is popular for work like coding though. Supposedly more ergonomic but I've never tried it.
If you need more than a 60% for normal computer usage, you just can't type. Period. 65% is the patrician choice. If you need more keys than that, you probably play too much autismo shit or asiaticclick RTS and also can't type, but feel free to use anything you like, because nobody gives a shit. This is a gay thread, nobody cares what the frick (you) use for typing you dumb gay and nobody is going to change their preference, because you made an oftop shitpost on a board about fricking vidya.
60% I find optimal for coding, but that's just folks who either have hand problems or are aware enough about them, to want to do something to avoid them (other than getting a job that actually benefits the society). 40% is something that requires getting used to and it's biggest benefit is portability. This is the main the reason codemonkeys use it - if you move around different sites with a laptop, this is a keyboard that is functional enough and you can fit in you pocket. Ortho is a fricking meme pushed by troons and lesbos that requires you to re-learn typing and goes against all the ergonomic progress that's been made over decades. Same goes for any spherical keycaps - just a bunch of gays pretending it's the 80's. Dvorak and Colemak layouts are actually more ergonomic / faster, but since everyone grew up with QWERTY, it's months of learning a new layout only to be slightly faster, because by the time you start using one, your learning capabilities are far inferior to old habbits.
99% of keybgays are just redditors who got addicted to browsing r/mk shillboard, have no idea about keyboards and their purpouse whatsover and just waste money on useless meme shit, because there's a new trend and you now need a hot-swapable, aluminum keyboard with gay-halo switches and a colorful keyset that cost more than the board itsefl and they all pray to this one Dutch opinionated youtube homosexual who can't even type properly.
>If you need
It's never about "need," go eat your bugs and drink your wienerroach milk and live in your pod, you don't need anymore.
For me it's the emoji keyboard.
,,,,,,,,
T
Why
Did the creators of this keyboard not give any consideration to putting more common emojis in more accessible spots, face with tears of joy is alright but loudly crying face is way too common to be where it is
Why would a man design an emoji keyboard? Of course it's woman/soi shit without any consideration for user experience.
Actually turns out this shit is from 2015 when loudly crying face was nowhere near as huge as it is now
>crying emoji not on the C key
Ruined
God you people are so fricking weird with your gay ass keyboards, holy fricking shit man.
Why do you people care so strongly about what other people do? As far as I'm concerned you could all you 3% keyboard and eat shit, I don't give a frick. Doesn't affect me in any way.

>still have this baby
>discontinued about 10 years ago after Steel Seeries bought it and replaced it with generic overpriced RGB shit
Is it so hard to make an ergonomic keyboard for gaming?
Why even those gaming paws and claws and shit have the basic keyboard layout huge ass CAPS key included?
>generic overpriced RGB shit
I actually have an SS mouse and I like it a lot though the pointless LED screen on it is impossible to configure
but I am so frickin sick of everything having RGB lights nowadays. There's that frickin tiktok of some dumb bint sayin like "How fast do you leave when your tinder hookup has a lightup keyboard" or some shit. That pissed me off more than it should've because it made me realize that basically all fricking mechanical keyboards now are RGB. Sure you CAN still buy non lightbright funhouse fisher price keyboards, but they're 20 or 30 dollars more than the RGB shit cuz only the RGB shit is being mass produced, and there's way less variety than there was even 5 years ago.
Was this the one with overlays for different games? I wanted one so bad for BF2.

I'm suddenly extremely thankful that office workplaces, schools, video games, and whatever else aren't trying to shove dvorak down people's throats, the same way IT businesses and dev teams try with shitty file formats like webp or some shit.
>QWERTY is called QWERTY because that's what the first 6 letter keys are
>DVORAK is called DVORAK because ??????
it's the last name of the guy that invented it
Because it has dvorak written on the keyboard, dummy.

>no numpad
thats like my most used part of the keyboard Black person, frick you
anything below 100% is literally worthless
You can't see why someone would want a 80% and a wireless numpad that can be put away when not in use?
What use do those have? Anal masturbation? Use a round object like a normal person.
This generation confuses me. Back in my day we wanted more keys not less.
I hope he starved
Meanwhile grandpa sends the fricking car flying 20 feet into the air going 80 mp/h at a roundabout.
how can a person be so mechanically inept
Never allowed to break or take anything apart as a kid, never asked to help dad work on the car, never given a lego set as a kid, was given a tablet as soon as the umbilical was cut, never allowed to help out in the kitchen or cook for himself. Who knows. Lots of reasons for a zoom zoom to be moronic.
But it is pretty bad that the kid spends nearly a full minute before realizing the gears and wheels, which open and close with the arms, must have some vital purpose. And probably only after someone in the background made fun of him for it.
Imagine willingly using more function keys to access your keyboard's features, and thinking you made an improvement over a full size device.

If you consider making an argument along the lines of "it saves desk space" I strongly suggest getting a job and buying an adult-size desk.

Because it's the Belgian (and French) standard.
I'd love for us to revert to QWERTY though.
You don't need an AZERTY keyboard, just any ISO Layout will do, then you just need to replace keys. Look for UK/ISO Layouts, will be easier to find than AZERTY from the get go.

Why do people get so angry about someone having a keyboard without a numpad?
People tend to get upset when they witness displays of inexcusably terrible taste. It's no different than e.g. you watching someone eat cereal from a bowl but with ketchup instead of milk.
Not angry, we're just laughing at you.
Why did you buy a keyboard without a numpad? moron.

What's the deal with "keeb" enthusiasts?
People actually spend hundreds of dollars on (oftentimes multiple) builds and even have meetups
It's some sort of weird refined autism
>keeb meetups
Wow.
Guess after competitive vaping, everything is possible.
I'm not a keeb entusiast.
I don't understand people collecting keyboards with different keycap colors.
However, the average keyboard is irredeemable trash - unpleasant to type on, unpleasant to game on (any fighting game on keyboard pretty much requires NKRO), not programmable, customisable and not repairable. At least it's cheap enough to just replace it.
You can do something (for example, I remap caps to esc with software), but not everything.
And don't get me started on unusual layouts, like split kbs without staggered columns, which are only a thing in overpriced segment.
I personally use ~100$ mechanical chinkboard, which is on the low end for decent ones, and there are much better keyboards.
TLDR - using a cheap kb is like using office mouse.
>(any fighting game on keyboard pretty much requires NKRO)
Playing a fighting game on kb sounds awful no matter how nice it is
Sent from my $50 chinkshit mkb with knockoff brown switches
That's actually cool though
rampant vapid consumerism.

>walk in there, put the keyboard on a desk
>go to the opposite side of the room and watch the autists freaking out
I love my 40% planck, great for programming, you have to do some adjustments for gaming tho.
That confuses me as well, building one or two quality keyboards sure, I mean they sound and feel great, but having a shelf with 10 keyboards displayed on it I don't get, and I've seen some people on reddit having one keeb for everyday of the week ??? why
Just folks enjoying their hobby, how is that difficult to understand? There are plenty of stranger things they could be doing.
>how is that difficult to understand?
the enjoyment to cost ratio seems ridiculously low compared to other hobbies.
What are those 4 keys above the numpad?
Media buttons I imagine
wtf do these buttons even do?
>sysrq
System Request, basically an interrupt that wouldn't cause a crash.
>Scroll Lock
Locks scrolling on text documents.
>Pause/Break
Pause the feed to the monitor, Line Break.
>Insert
Replace text with new text
>Home
Beginning of document, possibly the top of a webpage
>End
End of document, bottom of a webpage
Your mom.
>>Home
>Beginning of document, possibly the top of a webpage
>>End
>End of document, bottom of a webpage
It's beginning of the line.
You can try it yourself as you make a post ffs, unless ofc you're a phonegay.
He's probably a macgay.
Also, start/end of document is Ctrl+Home/End
Thanks for the correction.
Home and End are self explanatory, they got to the start and end of a line.
Ctrl + Home/End jumps to the top/bottom of your document
Sysrq is literally ignored on current OS. It was an IBM thing that basically reset commands when shit locked up
Scoll lock makes your arrows scroll the screen
Pause break was made to stop a program from launching halfway through. I think now it's just for BIOS stuff.
Insert toggles between 2 modes;
Insert new text
Overwrite new text
So when you type stuff infront of text it will either move the old text along or overwrite as you type.
It was also the original way to copy paste.
Ctrl + Insert = Copy
Shift + Insert = Paste
Scroll Lock changes what the arrow keys do in Excel (move cursor vs scroll the viewport), I think that's literally the only modern use for it
I don't know but I know what these do.
I use a 100% and a 60%.
The only reason to use smaller keyboards is for space. In my case, my shitty desk is too small and to use the larger keyboard comfortably I need to be slightly offset to the left in relation to my monitor, otherwise I have too little room for the mouse. When typing a lot of things, this position can be a problem.
The smaller keyboard fixes this problem, but you need to adapt to layers. There are people who think that layers are increasing their productivity but to me it doesn't make sense. In theory you can remap your larger keyboard and add layers to it as well. More keys is always better, as long as you have the space to use everything comfortably.
I'm a 41% kind of girl
What's the stuff above the numpad? Mine has everything else except for that.
It's where control diodes and manufacturer logo goes.
No idea why some nerd draw keys there.
>inb4 media keys
Might as well add keys above directional and above function keys, since that's what some manufacturers liked to put them.
65% + numpad to the right of my mouse for me senpai
just feels more natural and spaced out
>Anything below 100% is trash
FTFY
Anyone else above 100%?
little Timmy's first gamer keyboard tier. I dig the dedicated multimedia keys though, having a dedicated email button is nice

Can you bind HJKL/IJKL on a dedicated layer and bind the layer key on Caps key?
I'd love to do that, but the fricking chinks made FN layer hardcoded.
>imagine gimping yourself intentionally
Fricking troony culture is taking over keyboards too now, huh?
95% is the only acceptable config. Still have all the functionality of a 100% but with less footprint.
If you're just gaming then 40% can work but if you want any keybind or macro keys then 80% or higher.
>layers

it's just a fricking keyboard lmao. How about you lay-off and configure yourself to get some b***hes
Why we don't have keyboards with numpad on the LEFT side, opposite of mouse?
Why we don't have keyboards with more keys near the thumbs beyond oversized space?
Why we have this moronic caps key in the most premium position?
Would ESDF + ctrl rebound to caps be superior to WASD + Ctrl?
Even wagies would benefit from the numpad being on the left. It's so much easier to just lift your left hand onto the numpad rather than taking your right hand off the mouse to use the numpad.
what are some wired 75% that have a physical volume knob
Anything but 100% is autism.
>learn to use the home row
>center myself on it
>mouse feels further enough that it's very slightly uncomfortable
>use the numpad a lot too
how do I deal with this shit
Switch to Vim and install Vim keybindings to every program, including Chrome.
Playing FPSes with HJKL would be moronic, though.
You took the time to learn Vim keybindings yet you're still using Chrome?
The only half-decent alternative is Firefox and Mozilla leadership is even more moronic than google's.
you could choose one of the many other Chromium browsers
the literal only reason to use Chrome over the others is the built-in Google Translate
The ones I saw are meme browsers with 3.5 users, meme browsers for crypto bros (Brave) and absolute shit (Edge).
The browser doesn't matter because the entirety of the modern web is absolute dogshit. You're ultimately fussing about the gate keeper of the dogshit show.
Google Chrome for a browser?

My ideal keyboard would be one where you always alternate between hands when typing, but a system like that would require a layout that literally "changes on the fly" as you type. Also I don't know if you could physically reach all 26 letters with only one hand in a timely manner.
LCD keys exist, it wouldn't be difficult to program profiles like Razer synapse does where you have a work profile and a gaming one

Anything above 75% is good the rest are trash and waste of money made for zoom zoom gaymers
Above 100% are made for professional workstation work
100% and 95% are made for pure desktop or office workstation work
80%(tkl) and 75% is balance between work and play
65% is waste lacking function keys from 75%
60% gets rids of fricking arrow keys and function keys
50% gets rid of arrow , function, and number row keys
40% is obviously just a fricking meme number
I prefer 75% cuz its good enough for my games and dev work
>Arrow keys + ASDZXC
Oh yes, it's emulatin' time
you just made me wonder why game controllers are all "left-handed" by having you control movement with the left thumb
not that using a dpad requires much dexterity, but I feel like it's more complicated than doing the button presses
First person games require you to use the right stick for aiming by default. Right-handed people would have better control over it in theory.
It just occurred to me that it's probably a gradual evolution starting with the NES; the D-pad was on the left. Everything that came after imitated this.
I refuse to use anything less than 100% WITH volume controls (must have).
>everything different to what I like is trash
Having a numpad is the kind of convenience and standard of living you only appreciate when it's gone.
I have never used a numpad in my life
100% is best for productivity.
80% if fine for productivity if you don't need to type a lot of numbers or make a lot of small calculations.
60% is best for gaming.
40% is best for travel.
Everything in between is a meme.
80% with a separate numpad on the left is the best if you're right-handed.
75 is best

Frick off.
you're not going to become trans just because you have a good keyboard, anon, not every israeli conspiracy is out to re-enact Sauron's uruk-hai program. Sometimes they just wanna sell you an overpriced (but good) product.
I'm satisfied with my membrane. These fricks want everything to be "an experience" and "an expression of yourself". This is why these mechanicals are so lousy. IM TYPING! DO YOU HEAR IT!?
There's literally nothing wrong with using membrane keyboards and don't let any marketing convince you otherwise.
I respect that you enjoy your membrane but I personally dislike the feel.
I can also refute your implied statement about needing people to hear me type with one simple counterpoint.
I play video games alone in my room. There is nobody to hear me type. I simply like the feel of a mechanical keyboard.
I wasn't saying this is why you buy it but it just became a part of the selling point. There are even keyboards with membrane made to sound like a mechanical as a selling point. It's insane. Apparently humankind hasn't advanced enough technologically for a silent mechanical keyboard become commercially viable. Maybe another 50 years of intense research will do.
It's satisfying to hear the click and clack. It's like hearing a wood saw, or a diesel engine. It's a mild comfort in the back of the human mind cuz it's the sound of work being done. I would always pick a clacky keyboard over a silent keyboard. When I'm on a membrane I miss it. That said my keyboard isn't outrageously loud while typing, and I wouldn't want one louder, or one arbitrarily made to make noise when it isn't necessary.
50%.
For each hand.
You get points for the wine gums, but having the arrow keys not laying down is criminal.
I have left/right bound to my mouse, rarely use up and down. If I do need it on keyboard, I'd layer it in.

95% is also trash. 100% or 80% are only choices for decent people.
95% is only acceptable if it's a laptop, since they never have 100%s.
While we're on the topic, what's a good modern equivalent to the old Dell keyboards? I always liked the way it felt but it's like the older Microsoft Intellimouse, I don't think they make it anymore.
I don't mind going for "gamer" brands, it's not like my mouse isn't one, and price for premium mechanical shit isn't too much of a concern. Honestly I'd like something in a solid understated color rather than lit up like a drag queen contest but I'll take what's available.
I can feel the soul all the way from the screen.
You don't need one. mine is still. kicking after over a decade while every other keyboard I tried out bit the dust.
uohhhh seggggs
>he still uses flat keyboards
get with the times old man
I've been thinking about it for the past 3 minutes and I can't come up with a situation that would reasonably call for this mess. Is it for some kind of injury? It has rear view mirrors.
they advertise it as being better ergonomically and say it reduces carpal tunnel . theyre lying
I feel like carpel tunnel caused by computers is something made up by dumb boomers. Virtually all my free time besides errands and chores is in front of my PC, and this has been the case since I was 11. The only time my wrists ever got sore in all these years was when I moved into a new apartment; my PC was sat on a big cubby box and my seat was a folding lawn chair. Went away after a week or two after finally getting a real chair and desk. I basically had to have my wrist bent at a 90 degree angle for months before I even noticed there was an issue and it went away practically immediately after I addressed it.
>Virtually all my free time besides errands and chores is in front of my PC
anon thats not a good thing
You're on Ganker moron have some fricking self awareness.
Shut up normalgay.
>I'm shitting all over the table and nobody can stop me
Go walk into a federal building because your favorite grifter said the votes were fake.
The only federal buildings in my country are embassies of foreign federal states. Which one of them should I pick?
>the votes were fake.
Only needed a few thousand in a few counties, could've been easily done by a few stand alone actors, especially when they block witnesses and keep counting after the deadline cuz of a leaky pipe or whatever the frick
Really like having macro buttons on the left so I can map them to keys like Enter, Backspace and Delete. Too many games use these keys out of nowhere and it's a b***h to randomly move either my left or right hand to them during gameplay.
>he needs more
ftfy
>not just fun fricking around to make normalgays mad
You've become the normalgay
Let me teach you something, a little spoonfeeding for a newbie. Don't shit where you eat. Old Ganker knew to keep the trolling off-site with off-site targets. Local shitposting was pure fun, not political in nature, and unlike now it wasn't side by side with (You) and your tourist friends flooding every board with american identity politics and regular politics alongside low effort attempts at claiming it's "just trolling haha".
What you do is shit where you eat, because you eat that shit.
Really powerful autism at work in the dev team to go for a full sized keyboard instead of a scaled down keypad like pic related. I would've frickin loved to have a controller like that as a kid.
they knew dudes were gonna be getting into full blown flame wars over loot drops or some shit lol
Anything below 100% is trash.
All you need
how the frick do you live without a numpad?
you can't
those that say they do aren't people and what they are doing can't be called living
that can be a numpad
Be a woman or die trying.
This.
I bought a high quality TKL (TenKeyLess, everything but without the numpad) a few years back.
It's been great. I noticed I used to slam my mouse against the side of the keyboard too many times, so there's plenty of room now that there's no numpad.
HOWEVER, numpad is too useful. Especially for Excel and maybe Blender.
I just don't get why keyboards where the numpad is on the left side aren't more popular. It makes way more sense: more space for your mouse but you can still use the numpad.
Are you literally moronic?
Were you dropped on your head as a baby?
A keyboard with a numpad on the left would still be the same size as with one on the right. You'd still slam your mouse on it no matter where the numpad was.
You can't be serious...? You're really that dumb?
Gap between typing keys and mouse is the same as a TKL.
This is embarrassing... to have to explain this.
Then just move your regular keyboard to the left you fricking moron.
Not that anon but when you have the millimeter-precise perfect position for your keyboard you don't want to move it. Then again, I'm not an Asian progamer so my keyboard slides everywhere throughout the day.
buy a long mouse pad. I bought a long ass mouse pad on accident cuz I just wanted a bit more width instead of having to put two pads next to each other, so now I have like 3 feet of mousepad on my desk. I put most of it under my keyboard and it hardly slides around at all now, and I still got plenty of space for my mouse.
What do you even use a numpad for? Occasionally you'll use a program with important keybinds on the numpad like blender, but generally it just sits there taking up valuable desk space
imagine being a tablelet that you can't afford the few extra inches a numpad adds
The space the numpad sits would be better taken up by literally anything else. It's a near-useless addition to every keyboard and its modern-day expulsion is something to celebrate
i still have numbers though
true
The frick are these buttons? I just have media control buttons there, Stop Play Pause and skip
Perfection
>escape instantly nukes the program you're using, without asking for confirmation
Peak gaming.
Any keyboard marketed towards Gamers™ is overpriced shit.
Get something meant for typists, they're great.
Where's the trackpad?
Anything below 100% is trash
Guess that puts me at 110%?
I tried to live without a numpad, but I just can't. And anyone that says 'tenkeyless' instead of just calling it a numpad is a fricking homosexual.
75% chads where u at
here
is there something like this 75% with a volume knob without it being over $200?
>>nu-Ganker scum thinks it can even remotely compare itself to oldgays
I have been called a newbie at least once or twice a year for the last 15 years, so maybe they're more similar than you think. Or maybe you're more right than I think.
80% is the ideal keyboard. numpad is useless unless you're being a cuck doing data entry for work, but in that case you have your work peripherals and computer so why would your personal keyboard play into it?
you're both moronic because normal people do not talk about politics constantly as they know it's a good way to start fights, and trannies and LGBT nonsense as a whole has firmly embedded itself in the gaming industry and gaming as a hobby and trying to say otherwise is naive ignorance at best
>Old Ganker
My keyboard is 99% because it's missing the row of four keys in the upper right hand corner but nothing else
I've been using the same iMac keyboard for over 5 years
This thread perfectly illustrates how many normalgays and nongamers are here. For the record 65% is the best common format for variety gaming. The space I gained going from TKL to 65% gave a whole new dimension to my mouse aim. 75% may be best variety choice overrall for the few games that use FN keys a lot, but it's not hard to press 2 buttons instead of 1.
I legit don't know why'd you want a keyboard without function keys
>Anything below 80% is trash
Provided you've got a standalone numpad, they can be alright.
I have been using the same keyboard for over 12 years.
This keyboard now regularly goes for over $100 used.
it's also a big bad meme
t. own one
90% is acceptable on a laptop because there is some space limitation there, but in general, anything below 100% is trash
I love my 60% Anne Pro 2 keyboard.
I get a shitload more functionality out of it from my caps lock key being an FN key, so I can have "home, end, pageup/down, etc" all bound in a layer under my wasd row for more keybinds in vidya.
However I think 40% would be way too overkill.
120% bros, get in here
What is this? It's the only thing missing from my keyboard
Additional keys usually mapped by firmware. Can be remapped by something like autohotkey.
I only recall these as 108% or 110%. Dunno why it's listed as 100% in the picture
100 % with a big chonky enter key to hit
I recently bought one of those wireless logitech kbm combos, but the problem is the thing starts to not work if you get more than one foot away from the computer. For example, I typed this out from the normal location I keep my wired kb.
Typing itself isn't the issue, it's , it's trying to do normal fricking commands like alt+f4 or shift+v in VLC, which is the main reason I even bothered to get it. I have an HDMI cable that's about 10 feet long going across the room to my TV, and I wanted to be able to do shit without having to either switch the output back to my main monitor or crane my head 180 degrees backwards, since the tv and monitor face eachother.
And the situation becomes completely untenable should I attempt to type from directly below my television. I tried to type these 2 sentences over there, and literally not even the first line break registered in the text box.
At least the mouse is better than my old one, no more double click issue for now.
>issue, it's , it's
Okay, I should clarify that I typed that section from my bed, about 4 feet away.
>wireless logitech kbm combos
You mean the fisher-price ones? Those are meant for people that want no cables in their desktop.
Yeah, this one.
I got not fricking money, otherwise I would've gotten a better one. Hell, I really only bought it for the mouse since it was technically cheaper than the individually packaged ones.
>not fricking
that one was just a typo, I'm back on the wired kb now.
You fell for one of the classic blunders. Even those chinkshit $10 mice are better for what you wanted it for.
Nah, like I said, the mouse is fine.
i use that one for my xbone
Well, you wouldn't need keyboard commands for xbone. It's a fine for typing, but when literally nothing other than typing works from a range of more than one foot, it may as well be less than a 40%.
80% + separate numpad. Simple as.
Anyone who thinks the numpad is useless has never had the pleasure of doing any kind of math or had to type just numbers for a long period of time. I wish it was standardized on the left instead of the right, had its own space button, and an extra row or shift keys on the math function buttons for other math shit like brackets and caret.
more like 41%
either get a regular full keyboard or kys
if you use less than 100% you dont belong here
BEHOLD the cleanest keyboard layout ever
