if I like a new thing then it's cool, if I don't like it then it's hipster

This makes a lot of sense. Personally I never touch typed the numbers, and which hand is used for B could be largely dependent on right/left-handedness, habit, and what word you're typing at the moment.

This could be a point but I really think most people just buy alice boards because they look cool (they do).

A reminder is that apart from steel plates, it also gives you acrylic plates in the kit, but don't bother trying the acrylic plates because they flex way too much and are too flimsy so that they snap easily.

The film would soon be scratched anyway if you don't peel it off...

Reason to get a VIA board. But it's kind of sad that most of the budget wireless boards do not support VIA.
If you don't need wireless, Fancy Alice 66C seems like a really good option.

Just found out it's not input method environment but instead input method editor. How does this name make sense??

I use Pinyin (i.e. a romanization standard of Chinese characters) to type in an IME (input method environment). The IME suggests characters and words with that romanization from its database, which I can then select.
An average native Chinese speaker knows anywhere between 3000 and 8000 Chinese characters. For daily communication, 3000 is more than enough.

This looks perfect except for the cartoon knife on the weight. Please put a cooler knife on it.
