heh, clever mod, K. love the safety gear. very important.

This is the worst article I've ever read on techlounge. There's too much bias and it's not that interesting or cool. A whole article on a USB stick mod? Just maybe if it was even slightly interesting, but it's just an enter key, really not that clever. Three pages of coverage and photos about himself and documentation of his thinking "hmm but it's just a keyboard, hmmm" Sounds like a kid writing in his diary.

Mean or not, my aim is honesty. And honestly, I wouldn't keep checking this site if there were more articles like this. I started visiting when I read a few reviews on mp3 players years ago. Unbiased detailed tech reviews. Not "look what I made, hee hee." +Funny pics.

So, it looks cool and all, but it's not an article. At best you could have just written a single line caption under a single photo of the stick mod (without your hilarious self in it), and uploaded it on an appropriate website. (Cool stuff / cool pics / Cool gadgets or mods sites)

Ha... First of all, I can't help but be a bit offended that you're so harsh. To be honest, you're the first one who has really complained about the article at all. Can't make everyone happy, I guess.

That being said... no, TheTechLounge's direction has not changed. We are not going to specialize in dumb USB mod articles. It was a fun little project, and a fun article to write (and fun for -most- people to read, based on the feedback I've gotten). The whole point of the article was to give people an idea for a silly little mod that doesn't require a lot of skill or time.

I should mention, I also had my article posted on Bit-Tech.net, since they are more focused on modding articles. Their readers liked it as well. And I also posted it on Instructables.com - and they liked it, too!
