wot? close enough!

Oh it's a vietnamese mechanical keyboard forum?!? Our asian brothers? I wonder what kind of vintage boards they have.

Here's a review of a SSK.

Hmm mostly Ducky / Filco stuff but it seems some do have good taste:

We're just a cheap clone. Their pages are wider, even the alphabet they use is nicer. So disappointing.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery . I have always found DT to be very visually appealing, stylish and classy, much more than GH, which has a much brasher, look.

No GH is black&orange "eye torture".

That interview is hilarious, webwit. Free K3KC, the persecuted genius!

I adore Google Translate. This is the best line of the whole review.

"But I confirm that this is the keyboard for the most happy feeling I've ever typed ever."

Go to "Profile/Modify Profile/Look and Layout" and change it to "Austere" and you get a very gentle white background with soft grays.

MC: Do you plan to continue to producing counterfeit keycaps other? As such sculls?
Answer: Probably not, or maybe I'm kidding wingnut ...

I wonder if they have a Muirium, kbdfr, webwit and all, which are also copies!

Vuirium likes to complain about people who say his favourite forum is too formal and stuffy compared to Veekhack. There shall be no Vietnamese cat memes!

BTW, when I see the Deskthority logo, it reminds me mostly of some logo for a group in the Amiga demo-scene in Europe back in the early '90s that had the first half inverted.

Which one?

Wow, I had no idea that the guy was cloning so many types of artisans.

As for the forum logo, as Chyros said: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, maybe at some point they'll find their own visual identity.
