Sarah Sanders34 said:We gave the thread a chance, and it was essential to keep it open until we figured out what we were doing and if there was actually any difference between your individual results and the aggregate data. I mentioned that to you in a DM before you even started this topic.

Please refrain from calling people puritans; this was a technical issue, not a moral one.

There’s really no reason for anyone to apologize, especially since you admitted in your opening post that you were starting this pointless poll (thread) just because you were bored. It isn't our job to indulge boredom or nonsense; our goal is to maintain the continuity and substance of the PDF.

The thread remains open for now, provided the rest of the staff agrees, so feel free to join the discussion.

I humbly apologize, but I haven't really noticed a pattern where threads get locked before we actually determine if they deserve to be closed. It might have been better to handle it that way first. ☕

The apology thing was just a joke, honestly, because it doesn't really matter to me.

If we aren't going to tolerate boredom or nonsense, you could probably lock about 80% of the topics on this entire forum without any trouble. ☕So, that's my take on that "argument."

It's a little hard to fully enjoy things when a few mods tend to kill the vibe... but it's good to know that most of you are rational and know what you're doing. ☕Cheers, and thanks to the other mods.

Dennis Jackson38 locked my thread on LES with a pretty vague explanation. Since this subforum is specifically meant for adults, I really don't see how any rules were broken here. Even if they feel it’s too similar to another topic—which would basically mean closing every third thread on the site—they could at least move the poll over since there isn't one there. ☕ I'd appreciate a public apology. 😉

thanks, best

I guess I was under the impression that since we have so many virtual options nowadays, the term "mechanical" would just cover everything else, but if you take away the retro vibe and the higher price tag, I'm struggling to see what the actual draw is.

My very first keyboard felt a lot like that one—the keys were definitely stiffer and had a much louder click to them, though I can't quite recall any other major differences. To be honest, I don't really miss it all that much. 🤷

It’s honestly a little too much. 🤣:

Man, this looks like a total relic. I think I actually have one just like it tucked away somewhere in my basement—it’s got that massive old-school jack at the end that was phased out like a decade ago.

Mechanical? Are we talking about those basic ones that make a clicking sound while you type? If so, I’ve used them my whole life and haven't really felt much difference. Right now, I'm using a Logitech K120 and honestly, I couldn't be happier with it. It feels very natural, everything is right where my fingers need it to be, and it has all the standard American keyboard layouts. I actually picked it up in a bundle with a pretty decent mouse for $40 total.

I see people out there praising them too: http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?1...ter-than-yours
