    XR6 reacted to minibois in Put as simply as possible. Why do people care and pay so much for Keyboards.   
    because I like the feel of the nice clicks and clacks, which is not present on cheap keyboard.
    it's sort of a hobby and not 100% for practical purposes.

    I type. A lot. A mechanical keyboard feels so much better than a membrane keyboard due to it's physical feedback
     
    Granted, I dived into custom mechanicals a while back so I'm kinda far gone from what you're asking about.

    Kind of the best I can do at the moment, may have to try using a membrane keyboard to see if I'll do better.
    Keyboard I used for the typing test is a cheap, I believe Marvo KG937, it has outemu blues and has survived over 2 years and is still going strong.

    Good Morning Updates! - Mod Participation, and Gentle Reminders
    Good morning from the West Coast, y'all! 😁
     
    Update Summary
    [11/16/2020]: Giveaway extended until Nov 20, 2020, 10:00 PM (PST). [11/17/2020]: Maximum Winners for Bonus Giveaway reduced from 2 to 1. Mod-Only Giveaway hosted.  
     
    Main/Bonus Giveaway Updates
    No one's replied to the previous post I wrote 12 hours ago, so I'm going to assume that the majority didn't encounter further issues with Monkeytype. Thus, I've decided I'll not change the stipulations.
     
     
    Mod-Only Giveaway! - To Enter
     Giveaway Gift: $10 Steam Digital Gift Card or Discord Nitro. (Maximum Winners: 1)
    Identical to Main Giveaway - To Enter deets.  
    Head to Monkeytype and login to your account, or register for an account if you don’t have an existing account. New registrants may or may not also need to verify your accounts. The typing test mode can be changed with the menu in the top-right corner. Please have time and 30 selected. Take the typing test! 😁 After you’ve completed the typing test, take two screenshots (please see below). Submit the two screenshots as a reply to this thread! (Optional) Tell me what keyboard you used to taking the typing test with! (Custom, pre-built, laptop, etc.)  
    Screenshot 1
    Taken immediately after completing the typing test. Note that if you leave this screen for whatever reason, I don’t think there’s a way to recover the page.
     
    Screenshot 2
    Taken from your Monkeytype account page, which can be found by clicking on your username. Scroll towards the bottom of the page to find a table of results.
     
     
    Gentle Reminder
    A number of this thread's participants have replied to this topic with screenshots that do not meet the qualifying criteria to enter in the giveaway. While I do not mind if members wish to show off their WPM skillz (go ahead! 👍), I do not want to get people's hopes up and subsequently let them down when their usernames are absent from the announcement status update.
     
    I would encourage all entrants to double-check their screenshots, comparing them with the details outlined in Screenshot 1 and Screenshot 2 in the main post. I am deliberately not tagging people because (1) I'm shoving the responsibility onto the entrants to read the written stipulations and to follow up on any updates, and (2) I don't wish to embarrass either myself (if I misread their intentions) or the entrants (for not reading).
     
    👀...
     
    If I were to put it explicitly: If your entry didn't receive a like reaction from me, that entry is not valid.
     
     
    [Clears throat.]
    With stupid stuffy-sounding updates and reminders out of the way...
    I hope y'all have or are having a lovely day today!

    This is normal now. I'm in the UK, all the items I've ordered from other countries have sat in British customs for weeks, even months. Royal Mail is a mess at the moment. Items take way longer to move than they did before.
    Same goes for every parcel I've sent to other countries during this pandemic. Unfortunately the only thing you can do is wait, the seller can't make it go any faster and Royal Mail can't either (assuming the seller shipped using their services)

    If you got fucked by a seller (this is for the $100 DOA, correct? Or the worthless $6 cable you could've bought anywhere else?) then you should get a refund, leave negative feedback, and take your money elsewhere.
     
    By the way, "refund request" is a catch-all term for returns, refunds, partial refunds, exchanges, etc. If you spent as much time on Ebay as you claim you do, you'd know that.

    XR6 reacted to Shammikit in Be careful when buying expensive things on eBay   
    From my personal experience, ebay has always refunded me when a seller doesnt ship an item. I have been a victim of a few fake ads myself where the seller posts an ad at a very low price, I even messaged them through ebay messages to confirm if the item in question is in working order and they reply by saying yes. once I bought the item and the transaction completes, the seller would close their ebay account. after the delivery deadline was done and as i didnt receive the item, I opened a case on ebay and ebay refunded the amount to my paypal within 2 days after their investigation. I have been refunded to my bank account too when I bought an item using my credit card.
     
    As kelvinhall05 said, ebay sides with the buyer most of the time. My dad once ordered something and it didnt arrive on the deadline so he opened a case and got refunded within 24hrs. the item he bought arrived 2 weeks later. so he got it for free and didnt know how to pay back the seller.
     
    when an item doesnt arrive just wait around 7 days and open a case, ebay handles the rest.

    XR6 got a reaction from Eschew in Outemu vs Gateron Blue switches   
    Depends on the switch. If you're comparing blue vs blue then Gateron IMO. Their switches feel better, sound better and seem to be better quality than the Outemu Blues I've used.
    Feel and sound are subjective though so I'd recommend trying a few keyboards first to see what kind of switches you like. I prefer Gaterons over Outemus but you may prefer Outemus over Gaterons.

    XR6 reacted to The_russian in Windows 10 Redesign Imminent - "Sun Valley" Slated for 2021   
    Brilliant, let's mess with how things look instead of fixing settings. I don't really like settings but that's probably just because I am used to using control panel, who knowns I might start to get used to it eventually. The problem right now is that both settings and control panel exist simultaneously, and not everything can be found in both places. They really need to pick one (probably going to be settings) and make sure it can do everything the other one can, that way you aren't hopping between the two looking for a setting. 
     
    Careful, if anyone is capable of somehow making it worse, it's Microsoft.

    And all this while STILL the search function is a complete pile of crap, dark mode not being implemented completely and major updates bricking machines around the world regularly. Why is Microsoft talking about "modernizing the Start Menu and File Explorer"?!
