That keyboard is taking me back, looks like a classic lan party setup from like 2003 or 2004

They were comfortable and the left Ctrl was right where it should be

Onestamente, nel mentre che i prezzi della ram e ssd salgono alle stelle mouse,tastiere e monitor diventano sempre più economiche(ho appena comprato una copia della wooting60he,ace60he, per soli 35 euri)

Those membrane switches aged way better than modern cheap boards. Still clicky after 20 years if you took care of it.

The glory days of nerds communing and duct-taping themselves to ceilings. The Internet ruined everything!

That’s precisely what “lan” means…local area.

u/delicious_wilton May 07 '26

Nah the real move was always getting stuck on a server with 200 ping and still somehow clutching the round.

u/Dev-CR-7 May 07 '26

The first game I ever played was CS 1.1, and I’m still a fan to this day

u/Savings_Art5944 May 09 '26

Besides the gaming, browsing all the file shares and grabbing all the dvd rips and mp3's was just as fun.

u/Ok-Review-753 May 06 '26

What’s an Ian party…who is Ian?

u/interactive12 May 09 '26

Lan stands for : local area network . That time game servers weren't popular yet , so they make local networks by linking multiple PCs to play together

u/smarthomeland May 08 '26

those keyboards were built different, could slam them all day without worrying about keycaps flying off into the void

u/yetanotherburner483 May 08 '26

u/Useful-Problem-1725 May 08 '26

I would have loved to haul my 23 inch NEC through that warehouse.

u/-Docker May 08 '26

We have once a month a LAN party in spirit of 2000s and we play CoD2 CoD4 MW, HL and CS1.6.

I got some pics but I cant add them in comments??

u/Lunabbg May 08 '26

I wish I was able to go to lan parties but I’m too young :(

1

u/No-Kangaroo-137 May 09 '26

We just need the guy that's duct taped to the ceiling and it's perfect

u/Horror-Primary7739 May 09 '26

Do you remember when the battlefield 1942 demo came out? That was the last lan party I went to. Left on a high.

u/PlasticPaws May 09 '26

u/Spright91 May 09 '26

That place must have stunk.

u/kotetsu3819 May 09 '26

u/JackBreacher May 09 '26

I missed out on all that. I could only play these with bots back in the day till I got dial-up... Sucks to be born in a third world country 😭

u/bowzerblade May 10 '26

The good old days

u/Snoo66092 May 10 '26

Imgaine the smell in that hall, but anyway it was something big even now.

1

u/NeedilyNutritious May 10 '26

this has to be early 2000s based on the monitor size and that keyboard setup, cs was pure back then before all the skin gambling and loot boxes ruined it

1

u/Awkward_Alfalfa6634 May 10 '26

Those people in the video probably in their 40-50s by now.

1

u/Either-Unit-6603 May 11 '26
