Wang 725-3488 review (Key Tronic foam and foil, tactile)

[Chyros]

This week we look at my massive Wang!

[XMIT]

I for one would be happy to never hear another Wang joke again.

In some places, particularly in middle schools, "Wang" is a slang term for penis. Wang is also an extremely common East Asian family name and a former computer hardware manufacturer. Now can we please move on?

As a keyboard this one is a typical example of 1980s foam and foil construction. I much prefer the Hall effect variant.

'Wand' and 'Wang' sound very similar when pronounced by speakers of quite a few Asian languages, when they habitually add 'eng' [ŋ] sound to the end of everything.

Matias wants a word with them about that space bar …

Maybe it is me, but I enjoy a good Wang joke now and again.

Unsurprisingly the wang and the wand share other similarities, a wand in its origins is a phallic symbol intentionally representing male energy in the occult. Swords and wands are male suits in tarot. The entire concept of a magical wand, or rod may have come directly from the phallus.

However, I digress. Thanks for sharing the latest review, Chyros!

Since free speech is valued very high here at DT, that's quite alright Tom! What do you think Ail? Or is that too offensive for me to ask, in a subliminal "between the lines" sort of way?

I don't find your inquiry to be offensive, subliminal or between the lines at all. To answer, yes I do value free speech highly. Thanks for asking.

Hahaha, well you know what speech around here would be like if it were up to me! xD

C'mon now, it's practically ritual to make Wang jokes at the sight of these delightfully branded keyboards.

I still don't have a Wang myself, but I want one. Maybe someday, I'll have the Wang I want. In particular, there are several wangs: loud Wangs, scratchy Wangs, and tactile Wangs. I want to FEEL my Wang, if you know what I mean.

But even then, it'd have to be full of oranges.

I've been genuinely curious about this from a language standpoint... how did East Asian names (Wang, Dong, etc) become to mean what they do in the English vernacular?

I know a German publication by authors called Bohner, Wänke and Jurkovich.

This wouldn't make any sense to anyone expect people here on this forum. Especially the orange part

As I recall, E3E is male (five nines guaranteed here), so possible explanations for his post include: genetic defect, very nasty accident as a child, or his parents got UNIX and eunuchs confused and now he has an embarrassing body problem to resolve …
