Looking for a wired, backlit, scissor switch keyboard

I have a set that I installed, but they caused a lot of missed key-presses. To th poin whee my senteces wuld lok lik ths. I left them in for a week or so hoping I'd get used to them and / or they'd settle in, but it never happened. The keyboard I have is a Cherry MX 3.0, so it's not a bargain...

Looking for a wired, backlit, scissor switch keyboard

Hi everyone, I'm currently using a mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Reds, and it's simply too loud. I also would prefer to get something that's backlit. My requirements are: - Wired - Scissor switches OR low profile keys - Backlit (prefer standard white) - Standard keyboard layout...

Wives Are Silly

What is it that makes malt liquor so popular with the "hobo community?" Just the fact that it's cheap and stronger than beer?

What weird food things do you do?

Pasta (especially penne) with butter, salt, and pepper instead of traditional sauce. My wife got me into it. It's extremely unhealthy, but it's a nice tasty treat from time to time.

First cold front of the year - temperatures plummeting

Fahrenheit is a much more usable scale for telling the weather, Celsius is better for scientific reports. For example: -50c - extremely cold 0C - fairly cold 50C - extremely hot 100C - dead 150C - dead(er?) -50F - extremely cold 0F - really cold 50F - mild, a bit chilly 100F - really hot 150F...

Fallout 4 - it's official! Coming Nov 10, '15

I don't really understand all of the criticism for the game. It's not perfect, sure, but it feels like two big steps forward from Fallout 3, and only one minor step back in a few aspects from New Vegas (but it still comes out ahead). - Weapon customization is GREAT. You can do quite a bit to...

Hey New Englanders. How much does it cost to heat your house per year...

About 3-4 cords of split, seasoned wood (primarily red oak, with others mixed in) at $200 per cord, plus 3/4 to one full tank of oil (275 gallons), so call it $400 to $550 in oil to make it easy. So, from October to April (sometimes September and May too), we spend about $1000 to $1350 on...

Processed meat can cause cancer

There's so many disease and condition-causing things to think about these days that I only focus on the major ones. I don't smoke. I don't sit around breathing in lead fumes. I don't dance around in asbestos. If I feel like having a steak, or a beer, or a baked potato, or whatever is going to be...

If you could only eat one snack for the rest of your life

Probably apples.

$30,000 Hooded Sweatshirt

Nope. If I were so rich that dropping $30k on clothing was no big deal, I'd be spending it on nice, well-tailored suits.

2016 Leaf = 107 miles

It's not just the range that keeps me from considering an EV - it's also the ease of quickly extending that range. My car has around a 450 mile range on gas. If I drive 400 miles, I can stop at any gas station and fill up to get another 400 miles tacked on. Rinse and repeat - I can go across...

hey ... whisky.

Your post is completely flawed. Whiskey and whisky are two different spellings for the same thing - a distilled spirit made from fermented grains. That's ALL that whisk(e)y means. Several regions (primarily Scotland, Ireland, USA, Canada, and Japan) have a special set of rules that define what...

Wes Craven passed away.

Not to mention he had a name that was just perfect for the genre. I mean, if you heard about some new, obscure horror movie coming out and had never heard of Wes Craven: "Hey, who's that new psycho vampire movie that's supposed to be too hardcore to even get a NC-17 rating made by?" "Some...

Why does Valve website have Half-Life 3 logo?

Which is a HUGE mistake on Valve's part. They could literally use the Source engine and focus on texture details, plot, weapons, etc. and still come out with a game that will be AT LEAST mildly loved. Hell, throw in the Portal gun for an interesting cross-over that will draw some fans in. Yes...
