I'm gonna preface by saying this is just a personal story, if you're not looking for one, don't waste your time!
No sex or cereals included LOL

Since over a year I've researched about mechanical keyboards and find the concept quite interesting and cool. Unfortunately there are no places where I could have tried one out so I had to gauge my preference by the information I had found. Luckily I think I settled on pretty much the exact the set of specs that I would like. Unfortunately where I live the market is almost non existent and a very few mechanical keyboards were available in local online stores. (Shipping one from ebay/amazon would have been quite a risk, because of various unpredictable and stupid import laws)
Eventually I settled, I wanted one. Good thing for me is that one of the few available keyboards was the Steelseries 6gv2 which had already grabbed my eye as a simple and efficient KB that does the job. Unfortunately it happened that they were out of stock and for some reason that was the case for months even in Steelseries' official site. Six months went by until it was available again, 3 days ago I jumped on board. At this point I should say that I am on a low budget and due to various bad publisher and marketing practices plus various dysfunctional import laws, products like gaming gear, video games and software are exponentially more expensive in some countries.(one of the big fuels for piracy)
Yesterday I received my new keyboard, It was exactly what I expected. Awesome.
Today I did something that had never ever happened to me, I spilled fucking coffee directly on my keyboard. It blacked out. I knew what to do to maybe save it, but I was beyond angry or frustrated. Ironically I bought it not necessarily because I needed it, but to kinda cheer me up... yeah.
Now I'm typing this out with my old membrane kb, which totally feels like shit now. The 6gv2's main chip seems to check out ok, I think I cleaned all contamination from the board and there is a high chance that it will be at 100% in two days, but man, this was fucking BULLSHIT.

Misleading title, expected a cereal rant. I remember when I bought my first gaming headset, Siberia v2, then I tried to mow my lawn while wearing them. Lost story short they got caught on a branch and snapped the chord like a week after I got them. It sucks but it's not the end of the world.

I thought it was going to be about a lucky charm that he always got laid when he carried around. Pretty disappointing lol.

LOL guess I really should have put the word keyboard in the title, sorry. What I meant to say was that I had a case of awful luck.

Ah man that sucks, but it's a good thing since you made me look up what a mechanical keyboard is.

LOL, you guys are so weird... expecting weird things... I just click like every blog and read the first couple sentences if they're interesting.

Well hope that keyboard works again... I have the same one as you :p

When I bought my Filco I literally protected it from everything. Like, nobody could eat in the room, I would lock my cats out of the room, when I wasn't playing I would cover, basically did anything to stop if from getting dirty haha

Now I just leave it there because I realized its actually just a tank.

LOLOL I like the part where you ruined the thing that made you happy.

Good blog!
A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."
