This is so cool. But the keyboard disturbed me, wouldn’t you at least want a mechanical keyboard?

> Keyboard: Logitech K120 Wired — The world's cheapest keyboard at $13 a pop. Works perfectly fine for all gaming needs.

I can’t imagine playing stuff like overwatch on a membrane office keyboard for $13 when having spent more than 100k on the setup. Especially when cheap mechanical keyboards are not that much more expensive either.

Honestly I've never felt it made any difference to me when gaming. I would never code on such a keyboard but for the old WASD it seems fine.

That said, guests are welcome to bring any peripherals they want. There's a USB hub at each station to plug stuff in.

Don't you run into issues with n-key rollover with those old membrane keyboards?

Nope, I've never experienced that issue, in a decade of using these keyboards for gaming.
