Has anyone attempted to draw the Victorian Era corollary to this subculture? Don’t misconstrue, I am a member too, and I enjoyed a chuckle, gazing from over top my own personal click/clacker. But also, I pondered if 150 years ago something similar occurred in perhaps the shoehorn community. Know what I mean?
I love image. I’m glad to see a good number of less common vintage switches made the cut.
Thank you! It is nice to be appreciated!
Can you identify them all? I’m not gate keeping, I put some tricky ones in there as a joke for myself and I hope you might enjoy the puzzle. I can confirm any correct answers.
Sorry, didn’t see this reply until now. I don’t know all of them for sure (especially the few that look like really old Cherry like the MY and M9?), but own or have owned a quite a few of these. I parted with a bunch of my collection when I moved states last year, but still have several old boards that have SKCM Alps, vintage Cherry MX, and my clicky space invaders and some not pictured like my SMK Cherry MX mount and a few Model F and Model M.
Hell yeah, dude!
If you are on the east coast be sure to go to meet ups and show off for me lol
No m9 here though, the one next to the my is a mitsumi type I actually. I enjoy being tricky :)
There are so many mitsumis and it shouldn’t surprise me that I don’t know them all (they seriously are all over the place). I am now in the midwest, so we probably won’t run into each other.
I love mitsumis dumb switches so much people call me mitsumimax.
Enjoy your cows! Visit indiana’s keyboard meet ups and say high to big Z.
I’m not in that sort of area lol. I have thankfully seen less cows here than where I was moving from.
we’re due for another extinction. never cherry mx again.
MX has a lot of high points, it tends to be binding resistant, relatively dust resistant, reliable, small, and cheap. Not the best switch design of all time, but we can’t all be mitsumi minimechs.
