[@DestructoDot]

I don't know about you, but I've got $50 saying that baby is adopted.

[@turbochargedfilms]

DestructoDot Doesn't matter, he still looks like Linus' son alright.

[@DestructoDot]

...But you...Mentioned a character trait...not a physical feature...o-O are you adopted too?

[@turbochargedfilms]

I might be, I might not be. My point is that adopted or not, it's sure enough that the child is Linus' son, even if he didn't come from his semen. Parents aren't just the sperm and egg, they are the ones who are responsible for the child's well being and mentality. Say what you may, he is definitely got the mentality of his father.

[@JoppeZ117]

To turbochargedfilms, that was beautiful said! here in the youtube world of horrible comments and stuff :p. To DestructoDot, Hey... dude dude. do you even know how his wife locks!? Seriously look it up before you say something about someone's kid.. or anything actually and that's for all the people really. especially when it is on a such a strong and personal subject and of none your business! so just... do not comment about those sort of things ____ Seriously Please. :I And no i'm not perfect IF and i say IF you say that, well No. i just want to help and to tell people that they can hurt other with the words that they say and create.. as i maybe do to you right and if i do i'm sorry! This is not focused on one person only. it's too everyone (inclusive me) and if you don't write stuff that can hurt, then good! but not all the time do we even know it! so be careful what you write/say and so on. and look what you have write 2 times before you post it for extra security! (this is not a must now but a tip :) ..ok i'm out ( don't read this like i raged ok? ) (no hard feelings.. ok? ok :/ ) and sorry if i offended someone

Mechanical's good... I'm still sticking with my G13 though. Aside from it having a couple more keys and a lot of profile stuff, and the fact that I like its aesthetic better, there are three things I think that make it better: RGB backlight, onboard memory for profiles, and a display.

[@SunnySplosion]

Da babbbyyyyy ; ^ ; Dawww~ Yea I kind of wish I got to hear a little more of the blue keys. I use cherry MX black on my keyboard and I've never used blue, and I'm curious what the difference is.

[@Chaosfyre89]

Don't know if anyone has given you a response yet but as I understand it Black are heavy reds (linear with no tactile bump) where as blues are kind of their own switch (actuation weight is about halfway between red and black, with a tactile bump). In layman's terms black is heavy with no audible click, red is a lighter black, blue is in between in terms of weight need to press key but has a true click when the key registers (actuates). Hope this helped.

[@qtluv2358]

Although this idea would be hard to use, I'm just waiting for the first game keypad, that is also a mouse that you can move a around.

[@a-elberg]

As cool as that would be, it wouldn't work. The whole thing would be way to heavy and would feel horrible to move around, as well as being super inaccurate, also the point of a mouse and keyboard is that you have one hand for each, combining the two you'd just run out of fingers to press all the keyboard and mouse buttons

[@qtluv2358]
