Surprises can elicit a variety of reactions, whether positive or negative, but it depends on the nature of the surprise. For example, one Sunday morning, I was looking around when I casually glanced over at one of my friends. Everything seemed normal, until I realized she was standing there without her usual glasses on. I went over and inquired about her missing spectacles. She looked at me and said, "Do not laugh, but I dropped my laptop on my face last night." Being the considerate and good guy I was, I laughed out loud for a few seconds. After I wiped the tears of hilarity from my eyes, she glared and me, and explained she had been watching videos in her bed. She somehow ended up in a position of holding her laptop above her head, when her computer slipped from her hands. Her glasses took the brunt of the force, causing her to don her contacts until she had a replacement pair. On an aside, today just so happens to be her birthday, so happy birthday! Just to be clear however, my laughter did not come from the fact she injured herself, but more from the surprise of why anyone would have their laptop above their heads. I can understand cellphones or tablets, but an entire laptop? With a MacBook Pro at three and a half pounds, it is not exactly something you want falling on your face. As you can see from this story, surprises can result in a few good laughs, even if at the expense of someone else's face. When Gamdias announced they were sending us over their GKC1001 Mechanical Gaming Combo, I was once again surprised, but for a different reason. Checking online, this set commanded a retail price of $70 USD. Considering most users cannot even find a mechanical keyboard by itself for this price, the GKC1001 made me take a second glance. This surprise however made me curious, wondering how Gamdias kept the price so low. Will this set knock my socks off with excellent build and performance? Read on to find out!
