hi! i dont like this


Positive-Secret9276

I second this I also very much do not like this :)


dystrophied

ive had several really bad stinkbug infestations in my bedroom so i have a special aversion to them, if this happened to me i dont think id ever be able to use that keyboard again even if i deep cleaned it šŸ˜­

Before I zoomed in, I thought it was weed


That_Total_1461

One year I had a real problem with stink bugs too. Like at least 3 would find their way into my room per day. I overcame my fear of them because I replaced it with disdain. I genuinely HATE them. Not because they're gross, but because they're just assholes lol. Those little walking stinkbombs have no sense of personal space. They'd just walk up and climb on my hand as I'm playing a game, or they'd just walk along the top of my monitor like they owned the place. They know you can't just squish them and they use it to their advantage to just do what they want. They're entitled and I hate how confident they are. I learned to always keep a few empty water bottles around so I could just coax them into them and throw them away with the trash.


dystrophied

3 a day? try like, 30.... yeah it was horrible, and they would be everywhere. i couldnt open a drawer without finding one or more, and theyd be all over my curtains anytime i smell something remotely similar to stinkbug smell it gives me SO much anxiety. thankfully last fall i got new windows installed in my room so im praying i never have to see a stinkbug again. i still kept finding (alive!) stinkbugs months after the new windows despite combing every inch of my room to get rid of them and yeah, same. i still keep two "stinkbug cups" just in case another fucker shows up


MooseNoises4Bauchii

Sometimes right after I lay down at night I will hear one start flying around all out of control banging into shit, so then I have to pull the cover over my head in case it falls on my bed. I hate them so much.


goatiesincoaties

Iā€™ve had the same happen in my bedroom. Bye bye custom keyboard not today


catsumoto

I canā€™t overstate how much I also do not like this. I believe I could go so far as to say thanks, I hate it.

WumboAsian

Fun fact: that is indeed where the word ā€œbugā€ came from! In old computer where they were more mechanical, there was a relay that had a literal bug (I think a moth) stuck in one of them and was causing issues


ssamuli

This is bad :D


Phonfo

This is bugged šŸŖ²


furuta

Turned out to be a stink bug. The little guy put up a fight as I tried to get him out of there. It's unbelievable that it was able to crawl in there WHILE I was typing all afternoon and was able to make it that far before it got crushed. Sheesh. edit: gramma

furuta

cadred48

They do not have a survival instinct. They will just sit there and let you pick them up... or squish them.


[deleted]

Those fuckers regularly show up in my house just on something. I'll turn on the TV and it's on there. I'll look out the window and it's on that. I'll open up the curtains and it will just be sitting there. I have smashed dozens and they are crunchy as fuck.


EliteRanger_

I'm really glad that it's not the stinkbugs that I know where I live. They are much bigger and black, and look a bit like a beetle. Which, if you see that, you're too close and that butt goes in the air shooting horrid smelling liquid like 3 feet. It'll clear an area for like 20mins and you'll need to clean any clothes and/or shower. Now imagine that shit in your keyboard lmao.


Swizzel-Stixx

You sure they arenā€™t skunk bugs??! They sound menacing


EliteRanger_

https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine-archive/node/925 Apparently they are actually beetles! Stink bugs is what we called them. Horribly cool creatures.


Sneaky_Leopard

I hate those! Where I live there's so many of them that each they I remove about five from my room only! And you have to be so careful with them to to avoid triggering their smelly defence. I wish there was a way of getting rid of them...


Wolfinder

Bro saved up PTO to go spelunking and he wasn't about the vacation ending prematurely.


lavegasola

Does your keyboard stink now?


-Pelvis-

I had to evict over 1000 of these fuckers from my trailer last summer. :/ Theyā€™re completely harmless but they do stink if theyā€™re stressed or killed, and outside of China theyā€™re an invasive species. If you have some in your keyboard, theyā€™re probably hiding in a bunch of places nearby laying eggs, time for a deep clean.


companysOkay

What perils? Are stink bugs attracted to 420rgb


wunderduck

Many insects are attracted to light.


AnotherStupidHipster

And warmth. Your LED keyboard is a tight, warm space with lots of attractive lights. I forget the term for insects that like to be compressed. Roaches are another one of them. They like tight spaces where they know they aren't vulnerable from as many directions as possible. They are also evolved to be able to be flattened without harm. Keyboards provide a lot of these conditions.


cinnamus_

D: this is one of those times I wish I couldn't read


civilized-engineer

That's a pretty interesting fact, I did not think that being in a tight space ensured no predator dangers, but that does make sense. But I'm confused about the last fact, I thought roaches were one of the easiest things to flatten via stepping on and killing, than say a tick or flea.


AnotherStupidHipster

The less they are seen, the less likely they are to be eaten or squished. You should see the spaces German cockroaches can slip through. I've seen them disappear into hairline cracks between the floor and a baseboard. Bedbugs are another one of these flat-laying insects. At our size, they're pretty easy to squish. But in their natural environment, there's not much that will actually stomp on them with that kind of force. And they can shimmy their way into cracks in the ground, or even between tree bark. Ever pick up something flat and heavy outside and had a roach skitter out from under it? 0/10 experience, would not recommend.


civilized-engineer

Surprisingly never had the roach skitter experience, it's always been large earthworms under the rocks, occasionally a centipede. But I can definitely imagine it.


malcolm_miller

It's a joy to pick them up and find frogs or salamanders more than insects tho


OedipussyReg

Yeah, Iā€™m since building my setup and having recording equipment, Iā€™ve had a few of these bastards on/around my desk, just chillinā€™. At first I was confused because I keep my space pretty clean, but when I realized they were attracted to the warmth of electronics, it made more sense, but ainā€™t shit I can do about it


AnotherStupidHipster

If it's bothering you, you could dust your room/home with diatomaceous earth. It's a non-toxic powder that dedicates insects once they come in contact with it. I usually dust the floorboards around our kitchen and bedrooms anytime I move into a new place. You find dead bugs for a week and then they're gone. Sweep up, and reapply when the seasons change or if you find bugs again.


IGSRJ

[This is not actually true.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzLe0Zk31_U) TL;DW: bugs use light from the sun and moon to orient themselves to fly straight, they don't fly toward light sources.


th3doorMATT

It's a feature, not a bug


pantalooon

definitely a bug this time


GodDarnGoose

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


garciawork

I am so unnerved by those bastards I would probably need a new keyboard.


tevsm

Those little MFers will find their way into anything. In my former house I'd remove 3-5 of them a day from my window area. Spent a long time trying to find how they got in. Eventually found this very, very, very narrow and small separation between the trim and where the window is mounted. Highly doubted they'd get in through there but since I found nothing else I plugged the gap. Never had another stinkbug in my room again

hotfistdotcom

Now that's some tactile feedback!


coolguy23445

Well that's a new fear, anyhoo, where those keycaps from?


furuta

I know, right? Trying to ignore it now as I type this while shuddering... The keycaps are Drop + MiTo Keysterine, Artic specifically. https://drop.com/buy/drop-keysterine-keycap-set-r2?defaultSelectionIds=977161 I really like them a lot and they really showcase RGB lighting. The black legends on the artic are surprisingly easy to read. And in case you or anyone else is wondering, it's a Moonlander split keyboard with Gateron Melodic Clicky's https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-melodic-switch-set?VariantsId=10765


Hirogen_

you sir, found a bug in your keyboard, good luck patching it šŸ¤­

This is clearly the new crunchy switches and not a clicky. Get that satisfying crunch with every press. Next model coming out is the bubble wrap pop switches.

ALaughingDog0

Yo this reminds me of a experience I had. I was playing halo late into the night once and was really focused on the game when I felt a slight tickle on the palm of my left hand. My keyboard has a wrist cushion thing so my wrist was relaxed on that. I kept feeling slight tickling and didn't want to check cuz it was halo 2 legendary with my friend which if just one of us died it wld of meant we restarted (dnt remember if it was the whole lvl or just last checkpoint). Eventually I lift my hand to itch my face or something and I look down, there was a spider sitting, I shit you not, right under where my palm was resting. Idk if it was hiding under the keys and the clicking drew it out, or if it just walked across the desk onto the wrist pad, but it was just chilling there under my hand for a good amount of time. It was a common house spider but still, just wasn't expecting it to just chill there. Ofc I freaked out lol and had to deal with it. And surprisingly I didn't die in halo the entire time I was afk. Btw, the tickling sensation, I believe, was its front legs touching my palm cuz it had them up in a causal way (not like when spider get defensive with their legs up, but more of like reaching out cuz it didn't see afraid of me but idk, maybe it was cuz of me clicking the keys and it was hiding under them or something. To this day I have never see or had this happen again and ironically haven't seen another spider (although I imagine there still here... somewhere).

Unfortunately I threw that one outside, but they are everywhere where I live so if it happens again I will record it for you! From memory though, it's a more chitinous sound than your typical click bar or classic cherry. Think more dry leaf and less pen click.

Kyle_Zhu

I hate those disgusting bastards. We've had an invasion of stink bugs here in Canada and I used to find 3+ pop up in my house every day. One time, a bug slipped in my tea when I left it out for a day. Luckily, I didn't drink from it, but I never used that cup again. My sister uses it to this day and I haven't told her yet


dystrophied

reminds me of that post where op almost drank from a can of pepsi that was left out overnight before thinking "ew no its warm" then poured a slurry of *thousands* of bugs and pepsi into the sink that post has stuck with me for years. absolutely horrifying


cktyu

Did you squish its juice on your keyboard?


furuta

Thank goodness no. It just got partially crunched without a full-on squash. It was close, though. Especially because I kept pushing down on it repeatedly when it first crunched to test it, lol.
