Two relevant links here for those interested: 1. If this has piqued your interest in mechanical keyboards, head on over to http://old.reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards http://old.reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards and fall deep into the rabbit hole; and 2. Massdrop or Drop or whatever actually went out and manufactured these — I think the first batch sold out but keep an eye here if you’re interested in Holy Pandas: https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-invyr-holy-panda-mechanical-switches https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-invyr-holy-panda-mechanical-... (Looks like they’re doing another batch - good timing)

Holy hell I never knew the old.reddit.com domain existed. Thank you!

  Pretty much the only way to make Reddit usable these days!

    Although the old design isn't exactly perfect either - as soon as the browser window is a bit too narrow the site basically breaks completely, from not properly displaying posted pictures or videos anymore, up to making text smaller when zooming in or moving the whole site content sideways out of the frame if you type a long comment without linebreaks.

    Another good tip is to always request google.com as a desktop website in mobile safari. If you don't, you get mobile google, which forces you to go to the AMP reddit, which then pops up multiple banners every page load asking you to install mobile reddit so Reddit can track you. Entirely unusable and endlessly frustrating. I think I'm an oddball who uses google.com to browse reddit, but I prefer to to the apps.
