Clean!

Oh no. I started being active here in this subreddit around the same time as when you joined your first GB.

I joined a few keycap GB's last year as well and I have had some delivered already. And from keeping up on discord etc I know at least one more which is about to be on it's way.

The only real difference is I joined majority non GMK (ePBT, Milkyway, Domikey) and I only joined one GMK GB which hasn’t been fulfilled yet.

If anything have hope for that ePBT Dreamscape GB that you joined early on. Especially because you joined through KBDfans that means you will have it start to be fulfilled (ship) before any other vendors.

>Sure, but people almost never actually answer questions there.

No more of less than they would in the main feed. It depends on the question. If it's a "what keyboard should I buy?" question, then no, of course not. It's a pointless question that has no real answer without a long conversation to establish what the user needs. That's time consuming. The OP should just do a bit or research to see what they like. If you suggest that though... apparently you are elitist. If it's actually a question that can be answered meaningfully, then they often get answered.

I often spend time in that thread and do what I can help people, especially newcomers, but seriously, most of the questions are like "what's the best switch?". I tend to ignore such questions, as there's no really useful answer to give, and explaining why is again time consuming.

I do what I can, like many do, but let's be honest, questions like that never really generate useful answers even if they are in the main feed. Usually, they get ignored there as well, or at worst, get hundreds of answers from people just recommending what they personally like, and that is just as useless for the OP.

>"After typing it all out and clicking post, the comment disappeared. I think it had to do with the links I attached"

There are many sites that linking to will get the post removed. Did you link to AliExpress? It's best not to link to such sites.

>Also, the fact that it resets kinda sucks.

Can you imagine the thread without it? Sure, it resets, but you can just ask again, and the point is, you can ask as many times as you like without cluttering up the main feed and annoying people with the same question. Let's be honest, beginners never actually do check to see if their question has been asked. They can't do, or they'd not just dive in with "Hi, I'm new.... what keyboard should I get?". If people think complaining about that is "elitist" then they need to have a good think about how that can be annoying in a sub with over a million people subcribed to it. Of anyone still thinks it's elitist after that, then tough. There has to be some moderation on these things in a subreddit of this size. It can't be a free-for-all where the feed gets filled with "how do I get thock" posts. Just you watch though... this post will get downvoted. You can't just barge in and blurt out the same question that every other person asks when they also just barge in and blurt it out without searching and then accuse anyone that complains as elitist, as THAT makes you look like an over-privileged brat who expects everyone to stop what they are doing to pander to your needs.

Give and take. Spend some time reading the sub, and the wiki, and take at least a few minutes to see if your questions have already been answered.

stop cumming on your switches and use lube, it dries much slower

> What you think of as elitism is probably just people seeing the same questions asked day after day by low effort posters who can’t be bothered to see if the same question has recently been asked…

Scroll and move on. You or anyone doesn’t need to shit on anyone’s questions. Everyone is a beginner at one point

> This is why the daily questions thread with a 24 hour reset was made I imagine

Yet no one answers those and questions get downvoted. Not good encouragement.

Cool. You answered questions for someone. Not everyone is aware of the search feature and Reddits search feature is absolute garbage. Elitism or shit attitude it’s one in the same.

Too much lube is bad. Apply just enough is good. Just a light coat and you should be good to go. You got this!

This is so true. I’ve entered a couple GBs myself and from time to time they even feel sketchy. Instead of allowing some people to use this system to scam others or simply take so long, we should force companies to set up a legitimate system where manufacturing these products becomes readily accessible. QwertyKeys is the Goat rn in my opinion for this exact reason.

That's not true at all. Allow me to fucking demonstrate. Why are you making things up?

Sure, but people almost never actually answer questions there. Seriously, scroll through right now and look at almost half the questions sitting unanswered. Not that I am blaming the community, it's time consuming and frustrating to answer questions. Earlier this week, I spent over half an hour curating a list of options for somebody because they were asking about building a keyboard for $100 and the only comment was to buy holy pandas or something. After typing it all out and clicking post, the comment disappeared. I think it had to do with the links I attached even though I tried to remove anything that could be considered referral related. I literally just Googled the stuff, I'm not making any kickback on it.

Also, the fact that it resets kinda sucks. If you post a question at the wrong time, you may never get an answer because soon after you typed it, a new post was made.

>This is anyone wanting to share anything or ask common questions. There is elitism in this sub and it’s off putting af

What you think of as elitism is probably just people seeing the same questions asked day after day by low effort posters who can't be bothered to see if the same question has recently been asked... which it pretty much always has been considering the amount of people who use this sub. This is why the daily questions thread with a 24 hour reset was made I imagine. There are many of us who regularly spend time in that thread to help people, and it stops the main feed being clogged up with repetitive questions that get asked on a daily basis. I'm not sure why you think doing this is elitist. It's just common sense.

You've had this one for more than a year.

Not enough.

Probably a popular YouTube channel gave the sub a mention.

There's a daily questions thread just for beginners. Having one thread is much better if you think about it.

I am not that obsessed with this hobby to spend that much.

do you have that many keyboards to put them all in or will most of them just be on the shelves?

Are you buying these because of the delayed gratification? like you buy something don't receive the gratification within days that in the next month you buy something again and it goes on and on?

Quite a few streamers are constantly begged to lick their boards. Sometimes they oblige. There is something weird about licking stuff in this community.

Kilo is around $450. That will fill your case.

Wipe it off.

Same keybs. It's already good without mods but will be even better with mods.

try Box Jades!

Well simple solution, stop doing group buys and force companies to take on the risk to create an actual in stock product instead of this crap system they got in place right now.

no, it’s removable
