The keys are fine, they are large enough you can't miss them but are curved like a typewriter too so you never slip off them. It's noisy in regular use but not as much as the Philips one I have... Pic I found online of my Philips
Anyone have examples of what you think are bullshit tech that is being promoted right now?

Got a link for the Azio keyboard? In case I want to take a looksie? 
The dire wolves hype is also BS, but I suppose it's a relatively harmless distraction.
Yes true, but a lot of people now are calling those wolves dire wolves and the more this kind of thing happens it muddies the waters a bit with science and misrepresentation.

The particular model I have is not available anymore. You can just type in Azio MK retro keyboard into Amazon but be prepared to be shocked it's a premium price now. They are more bespoke and even when I got mine they were a premium product priced accordingly. I was just lucky at the time to have the funds or I would never have got mine.
Ahh bummer! Well, it's always possible another company has done something similar.
In the 70s and 80s, the word "turbo" was added to every BS thing out there (tires, hubcaps, drink containers, sun shades, garden hoses). It was replaced later with the words "high definition" or "HD". Now they have all been replaced with "A.I." as the new buzz word to sell anything.
We need a "Anti-Buzzword" PSA for the commoners / normies out there.
To prevent "Future Hype Trains".

Maybe not call them "Normies" or "Commoners" though.
Sure, let's have marketing smooth over the wording..
Marketing is who keeps sticking "AI" on things.
Then we need somebody else to change things.Marketing is who keeps sticking "AI" on things.
I lived through that period and yeah the use of the word "Turbo" on any product was a real thing. I like that you mentioned garden hoses because that is exactly what they did with that word.
We now have not only A.I., Turbo, HD, but whatever the product is, it is "infused with the magic of copper."

Just on that if you lived through the 80s you will definitely remember "copper" being used to flog audio cables. Also
Oxygen free audio cables which were a thing back then and also had a hefty price for the fancy marketing.
Mainboard manufacturers also can throw in nonsense like ULTRA DURABLE and TUFF NOW WiTH 2oz of copper!! Gigglibyte has ULTRA DURABLE 2, 3, 4, maybe 5 to make SURE that everyone understands that their mainboards are ULTRA DURABLE!!!! and then at least a few of them have MILITARY GRADE CAPACITORS!! and MILITARY GRADE chokes!!
And of course the whole JAPANESE CAPACITORS ONLY!!! to give the feeling that it would make your mainbioard ULTRA DURABLE MILITARY GRADE TUFF!!
Oh and yes with RGB it will run cooler and faster!!
As for capacitors, so yeah, Rubycon etc make excellent capacitors but the capacitor plague is at least 20 years ago and Taiwanese and Chinese manufacturers aren't sitting still and the latter is very much trrying to be independent from others so nowadays having Chinese or Taiwanese caps isn't as much as a disadvantage anymore, also Japanese manufacturers had batches of real unreliable stinkers as well...

I've only just learned about the capacitor plague of the early 2000s. But was it really as bad as people made it out to be?
I can't really see much of a difference between 4k and 1080p especially with older films shot on film.
Yes it was, Dell at that time had to replace thousands of machines because the mainboards blew caps within a few weeks, monitors which popped caps like popcorn while brand new, powersuplies, even those in servers blowing up and crippling companies, it was indeed pretty nasty, personally I've had three mainboards blow their main VRM capacitors and one took out the CPU as well, I have 3 graphics cards with leaking caps which are all from the 2000 to 2010 era.
OK that does sound really nasty, in hindsight that might explain why a monitor I bought in 2003 blew up in less than one year
