  • As someone that shopped at both, but preferred Circuit City, I think Best Buy initially did a better job of "wowing" customers and had a better store layout. They also were better at trying to squeeze money out of people and thus were more profitable than Circuit City, so when times got leaner they survived and then had the whole market.

  • Well, if your keyboard is hotswappable and you have any spare switches, it could be a quick fix as long as you know which switches/keys are chattering and you have leftovers. I don't know who (Mass)drop had actually manufacture the Halo Clear switches, it could be Gateron, but I don't think they made that information public.

  • If you have chattering, that is sadly a problem with the specific switch itself and the software has just been ignoring the issue. I don't suppose the keyboard you're using is hotswappable? If it is, just pull and replace those switches. If not, you either need to desolder the bad switches and resolder in replacements or stick with that software. I have had some consistently bad chattering issues with Gateron switches to the point that I completely avoid them as a manufacturer. So if you coincidentally are using switches from them and plan to replace them, I'd look for a different brand of switch.

  • I suppose technically any keyboard with a programmable controller could be considered to have software even if you don't need to run, but I was thinking more along the lines of Logitech or Razer always memory resident garbage.

  • While that keyboard isn't for me, I'll admit that look good and does in fact have software. Good counter point. Also, that software appears to just for reconfiguration of the layout and probably macros so I bet it doesn't need to be run all the time, or even at all if you like the standard layout. That is how software for hardware should be done.

  • Disclaimer: I'm a keyboard snob. I can't think of a single good keyboard that even has software.

    I actually use Logitech for all my mice and trackballs, but I also haven't installed Logitech's junky software in a long time. Maybe I don't know what I'm missing.

  • I did that with buying "one-a-day" vitamins for seniors because they were a quarter the price of standard men's vitamins. I checked the stats and ingredients, they were about identical and from the same brand.

  • I had a couple Windows Mobile/Pocket PCs. They were flawed, yet awesome in their own way. Early Android was clearly better, but sadly it's become a locked down spy fest. I'd love a new real "Pocket PC".

  • The layout is 100% the reason I didn't like my F AT until I modded it. My F XT has a better layout, but it was always such a chore trying to get my home made Soarer's converter to work right. The F77 layout is great, and thanks to the preproductions it's actually attainable. I also got one of the new TKL layout Model Fs, but it only came in the "compact" case style (which makes sense as they was no original), and it just isn't as nice to use as the OG style zinc case.
