it is THESIS THURSDAY.

we did this last spring, we will resume it again now, cuz why not. it is pretty simple, you post a long and/or short thesis on something that is *not* a financial asset (regardless of liquidity, so you also can't like, long a startup for example). so it should be like, a trend or concept or something. ideally you add some reasoning to your thesis and it is sufficiently contrarian that there is still "upside".

I am short mechanical keyboards. imo they are mostly just loud/annoying, a needlessly expensive hobby, and distraction from real productivity gains.

figuring out my next thing | marketing, content, growth | prev. Juicebox, Nouns, RAW DAO | casting about coffee, hi-fi, and other rabbit holes

one exception I’ll make here is specialty ergonomic keyboards (like splits or whatever else), which I believe will become more and more popular as we increasingly live our day-to-day lives virtually/online*

*until we have sufficiently advanced mind<>computer interfaces

never seen this monstrosity but I approve if it's actually productivity enhancing

can be very bad for calls, but yes also satisfying

yeah, I have built boards with silent linears and tactiles :)

perhaps my “thesis” is more about me getting bored with the hobby than any particular trend

You should try some premium silent switches, they’re quieter than a laptop keyboard

Generally agree with you though, but also can’t ignore the fact that enjoying my setup makes me more motivated, intangible benefit

they look nice, and sound good until somebody else is using one. maybe we should build an apple keyboard that offers the same customizability without the click clack

interesting, I haven’t thought about mechanical keyboards through that lens. makes sense.

you would probably like mine then, it’s pretty loud. feel free to try it out whenever.

for me i am that annoying person who clicks pens to help concentrate

the sound of a clack clack keyboard is sooo satisfying, the extra stimulation helps me focus better (idk if this is valid or placebo but it works)

also i do not own a mechanical keyboard yet bc i have been in decision paralysis for a long time

my friend has one and whenever i’m at his house and he’s using it i keep thinking i hear rats in his basement chewing on stuff
