>muh tactile feedback

People are statistically more likely to type faster on capacitive keyboards

Just because you have finger autism doesn't mean ever other normie does

Stop projecting your autism onto everybody who doesn't want it

Also another one: 4:3 screens and scissor switch laptop keyboards.

UMPCs

>>59879241
VAIO's looked nice but they were more bloated than HP and some models were impossible to do a clean install on because of the recovery management faggotry. It literally took control of the entire BIOS

>>59879036
I DON'T EVEN CARE WHAT YOU SAID OR WHO YOU ARE. KILL YOURSELF.

>>59879156
Getting a little niggerish with this one.

>>59879224
These were kind of fun back then but ultimately impractical. I'm not saying I don't like them though.

>>59879081
How can I cop the Japanese keyboard??

>>59879268
Was probably due to some Jew shilling DVD-RW harder.

>>59879268
So, what's the difference?

>>59880685
Should be pretty obvious, it's in a cartridge that prevents the disc from getting scratched to shit.

>>59878998
the priv is nice famalam :3

>>59879268
Was this supposed to be used as ram or as an autistic case for your DVD?

>>59880767
So a two sided RW? That's dumb

>>59879036
stop projecting your autism. if there is a demand for physical keyboards there will be available products

hence the priv which is comfy famalam :3

>>59880839
It was a part of the DVD-RAM standard that never got implemented.

>>59880840
No, you fucking retard. It's an optical disc in a cartridge that prevents it from being scratched. I'm not talking about the DVD-RAM format, I'm talking about the cartridge on the goddamned disc.

>>59879036
>autism autism blah blah...
ask me why I know your opinion is worthless

>>59880570
You can just buy keyboard sticker decals ya nig

>>59880873
Thanks God it wasn't implemented. Shit looks awful

>>59880906
Yeah, thank god DVDs are aesthetic and scratch if you look at them funny

>>59880916
Blu Rays my man

>>59880933
Would still be better with a cartridge.

>>59880916
Your case is not "aesthetic" and if you buy quality DVDs and take proper care of them they will not get scratched easily.

>>59880945
It would be bordering on excessive

>>59880959
>Your case is not "aesthetic"
I never said it was, dumbass.
>if you buy quality DVDs and take proper care of them they will not get scratched easily
But if they had cartridges I could buy cheap ones, not give a shit about them, and still not scratch them.

>>59880961
Nah

>>59880959
I really liked the look of MDs, blurays with a cartridge like that would allow for flashy art. I don't care for physical media anyway, but it would have a cool retro look in my opinion.

>>59879268
What a shitty design

>>59881020
Why?

>>59881020
t. underage

>>59879036
A bigger issue is that the keyboard takes up 40% of the screen, dumb faggot.

>>59881052
I was honestly expecting a naked jap to jump over the couch, start violently stripping them both and bang them dry.

>>59881073
That male masturbatory aide looks a bit uncomfortable.
Would not put dick in.

>>59881050
>>59879036
I found the original xbox controller comfortable. to use, and the onl n64 controller comfortable to use like a normal controller, gripping the edges and thumb in the middle for the stick, and this is when I was a little kid for some perspective on how bit my hands are. phone touch screen keyboards are unuseable, so i use a normal phone to make calls because at least it has a tactile pad and I know what im pressing.

>>59879036
this desu, swype typing is way faster

>>59879003
I still have some unused ones right next to me, 25 for $25 from compUSA back when they still existed.

>>59878979

can you still buy the discs for these? i still have a lightscribe drive

>>59881261
Last time I checked was about 5-6 years ago and they were about $2-3 per disc so a stack of 20 was about $40-60

>>59881228
seriously, fuck vcrs, that shit couldn't die fast enough

>>59881330
While they were pretty fucking shit they still live on pure nostalgia
The distortion that audio on VHS tapes had will always be super /comfy/ to me

>>59881228
Never had this shit happened to me and I used that shit to watch tons of anime and movies.

>>59881342
If we could have the vcr experience without the vcr, yeah I'd agree

I have a complex towards this shit.
My sense of time has basically been stalled by all the technology i expected to be "the future" falling over and dying.

I'm still waiting for the UMPCs, GTA San Andreas on the PSP2, and an upgrade to something that looks like Vista Aero. The future will never come.

>>59881231
I'll take a 20% hit in WPM to be able to touch type any day, plus I prefer the tactile feedback

>>59881480

I liked when apple products were white instead of aluminium and black.

Especially since nearly everyone else has now copied the aluminium and black style, even when their product is actually made of pure plastic.

>>59881573
Normies drive the industry, one day apple will ditch the keyboard and everything will be done on gestures and with touch. MS will follow suit and I'll keep using windows xp.

>>59881599
I could honestly see this or something like it make a return if they make a rewritable version that takes advantage of the protection the cover has to make really high density storage

>>59881666
>rewritable

We cloud now nigga.

>>59881679
t. faggot

>>59881599
I remember I broke the cover on my GTA Liberty City Stories UMD, so I cracked open the side of some UMD demo disc thing and swapped the little discs. Fun times.
Well, until it wound up that most of my library was being swapped like that because the moving cover affected readability, so you had to perfectly balance it before use.
