it became necessary to buy another mechanical keyboard, for my x16

@sun Call me uncultured, but what are those runes under each letter on the keys?

@sun tkl chad

@sun get an 8bitdo c64 keyboard

@sun albeitnonethelesthough it is USB. are there any good USB to PS/2 adapters?

@ElDeadKennedy it comes with one

@ElDeadKennedy oh i meant the one i bought

@rain it's for an 8-bit computer called the Commander X16. they are special characters for creating character graphics like windowing

@sun That makes sense! Thanks for filling me in

@rain its a giant waste of money but i can't help myself

@sun Thats okay I am too recently coming off a few month long unneeded tech buying binge my self.

@sun what's special about the new keyboard, Dear Leader?

@sun obligatory hateful post about the missing num pad

@mitchconner @sun cope and seethe, tkl is fine

@ElDeadKennedy @sun may as well get a physical T9 keyboard at that rate. It makes me think of how Steve Jobs envisioned office workers using nothing but the mouse with the first Mac.

@mitchconner @ElDeadKennedy i'm not going to be doing data entry on this computer

@ElDeadKennedy its for my commander x16, it has the right keycaps for the unique keys on that machine

@sun @ElDeadKennedy i was mostly joking but kennedy knows how to push my buttons. I have a lot of them because i use a normal keyboard 😭

@sun yeah I know I meant over the stock x16 one

@mitchconner @sun looks fine to me izumithumbsup

@ElDeadKennedy stock is a squishy membrane keyboard, this is cherry mx blue

@sun ohhh i see i see

@sun personally is it possible to buy a c64 keycap set and mount them on the 8bitdo c64 keyboard? personally i'd do that

@sun you could get a brand new set (they are kinda lame) or use an adapter to use an original set. mmmh

@sun the keycap width could be an issue now that i think about it

@ElDeadKennedy they're weird

@sun dear leader look this brand new keycap set look look

@ElDeadKennedy my new one has already shipped!

@ElDeadKennedy I also wanted to get an "official" one that was made for the system.

unfortunartely they only had black not white, the rest of my components are white

@ElDeadKennedy that looks really nice though

@sun cc @mitchconner keypad

@mitchconner @sun numpads are overrated

@ElDeadKennedy @mitchconner i love them but its just not necessary for the commander x16

@ElDeadKennedy @mitchconner @sun I don't know why people like numpads so much

Argentina is overrated

@coolboymew @mitchconner @ElDeadKennedy @sun they're great and easier to use than the top row of numbers which is retarded

@triodug @mitchconner @coolboymew @ElDeadKennedy @sun people who don't like numpads aren't real gamers because they clearly weren't playing dwarf fort classic

@vriska @triodug @mitchconner @ElDeadKennedy @sun Pfft, that's easy shit. My friend can beat Megaman X emulated with a single hand on the numpad

@mitchconner @sun I didn't want to do this

@coolboymew @mitchconner @triodug @ElDeadKennedy @sun I bet your dwarves are starving

@why @triodug @coolboymew @mitchconner @sun ah yes the logitech g600 very good for farming the same dungeon boss for 14 consecutive hours on some random mmorpg

@triodug @mitchconner @ElDeadKennedy @coolboymew @sun its a numpad i use it to type numbers

@why @triodug @coolboymew @mitchconner @sun i bet you made a female character to get free stuff from basement dwellers

@why @triodug @coolboymew @mitchconner @sun you know a few days ago i mentioned i was looking for a new mouse and the g600 was a possible candidate. how's the build quality? how long have you been using it? any double clicking issue?

@ElDeadKennedy @why @coolboymew @mitchconner @sun @triodug Mine's treated me well, but I had to replace my old one after a few years because it started double clicking. I do use mine for MMOs, though.

Be sure to get the three button one, you can use the third button as a Ctrl key.
