Not gonna lie, sounds good. Never even think to buy one probably ever, but it sounds good.

Oof, even before the smartphone days it could arouse suspicion (although in this hectic age a bit more now). Was once stopped at an airport for carrying around a metal USB drive.

The time I brought an Electribe ESX through airport security in a laptop bag was entertaining - the bloke checking my bag wanted to know more about it, but his superior made him hurry me along and get everything packed back up.

I still have one - with the screen protector plastic still intact! :rofl: A bit dusty but the keys aren’t nearly as yellow. I guess I am more adverse to sunlight or something

Why I never got rid of it:

  1. it still works
  2. is easy to use
  3. more of a hassle get rid of it than it is worth

Edit: BTW, it does live up to being actual Bad Gear in that the rubber mod and pitch bend wheels turned sticky and gooey years ago. Maybe Nord was onto something…

I had almost as much fun watching that as he must have had making it

If you just ignore the Memes you will notice how much of a deep and infomative review each episode is.

I mentioned a while ago that I would love to see a Microcosm episode of Bad Gear. This may be as close as I get (and he’s not wrong)
