>mechanical keyboard started double tapping some keyswelcome back to the desk old friend
That never happened. Enjoy your mushy pile of shit that you were always using.
>>738657184mechanical keyboards are too loud, I don't get the appeal
Reminder we could be using a strictly better technology that works on a firmware level, but retards needed funny bright lights and zoom zoom keys.
>>738657184My mechanical keyboard (Logitech piece of shit) cracked the left cursor key with no replacement in the box so I sent it to the trash and went back to my $10 cheapo Microsoft one from like 2000. Sometimes the old ways are better.

>>738659281kang
>>738657308There are quieter ones. I've been using this one for like 5 months now and it's still nice and quiet.
>using mechanical when magnetic is a thing now
>>738657184>pull out the switch >clean it or insert a new one>???>profit
>>738660281>cheapo membrane keyboard>it just fucking works
>>738657184only ever happened with logitech keyboards for me. I never even once had this issue with Cherryusually I can just pull out all keys caps, press down the keys, blow into them with canned air, and the problem is delayed for a couple months, but it always eventually comes backsetting fixed delays and shit also doesn't really do anything
>>738660406>mechanical keyboard>just fucking werks and is also easy to repair
>>738660464>just fucking werksNigger you're literally in a thread about a mechanical keyboard that doesn't fucking werk
>>738660406Randy, you could pull the membrane off.
mechanical keyboards feel really really good, but, if i had to build another vidya pc from 0 it would be one of the last things i would get, my previous membrane keyboard i had since '01 still works really well, its just many membrane keyboard suck, but the classic ones are amazing like that logitech
>>738660637because OP is a retard and jizzed all over itnot the mechanical keyboard's fault
>>738657184What's the mouse equivalent of this then?
>>738660406But you wish it stopped working because you want to stop using that garbage.Cheap dome keyboards are unpleasant to use.Do yourself a favor and at least try using better hardware before you give us your opinion.
>>738660701>you're using it wrongNow where have I heard that one before?
>Used to just buy membrane keyboards, they would all break within a year.>Finally decide to buy a mechanical keyboard, still going strong 12 years later.Never going back to membrane

>>738660778Literally any OEM piece of shit that's ever come with your prebuilt computer
You literally don't need more.
>>738657184i have a random bootleg 60% mechanical keyboard and while ive never had an issue with switches, I can very easily swap them out.if you arent pretending to be retarded, you could swap the switch for another switch on the same keyboard. take one of the shift keys or a number.
>>738657242>>738657303>>738657465Is this real? Is this what you people bicker about and taunt eachother with?
>>738660406>2KRO
I've had mine with mx blacks for about 15 years and it still works on my machine. Only given it a deep clean once.Barely any wear on the letters too.
>>738659281>>738660210>No hot-swapping, meaning it does not work unless plugged in before turning on the PC>Risk (very rare but it can happen) of physical damage on the resistor of the port if you unplug/plug it in when the PC is onYeah, that's so "chad"
>laughs in Model F buckling spring
>>738665206I prefer the Dell AT101W since it includes the Winchad button.
>>738665206How far away is the Dot Matrix printer and mainframe?
>>738665206Can't wait to finally receive my F122 and pimp it up a lil.
>>738657184get some keyboard putty and clean the pubes, cat hairs, crumbs, and ants out of your switches
>>738657184>mechanical keyboard Biggest meme in computer industry>less reliable>terrible typing>awful sound (unless you get silent one in which case there are no reason to get one in the first place)
>>738665943>less reliable>mechanical keyboards built in the 80's work flawlessly to this day
>>738665206>>738665438The most beautiful era of keyboard
>>738657184Lower the polling rate or swap the switches, not that hard.
>>738666329You can get one for yourself if you're willing to pay a little extra and do some work on it.https://www.modelfkeyboards.com
>>738666046Take it from your pretentious doodoo nerd closet and start using it for 10hrs per day.
>>738659281Aren't there usb to ps2 adapters?
>>738657184This was happening on my piece of shit Royal Kludge even after swapping out the switches. Come to find out it's a common issue because they use shitty PCBs.
>>738663069Skill issue
>>738667118Any advantage you gain is lost when the input hits the adapter. You're better off just plugging usb right into its normal port.
>>738666425I've got a beamspring keyboard coming from this guy after liking an F104 quite a lot, great build quality. Beamspring interested me as yet another old repro switch/keyboard and on top of having MX keycap compatibility this time, so I can dump some MT3 /dev/tty keycaps onto it as a permanent resting place. Also fixes what I really missed about the F104, just keycap compatibility; I don't have that one Deskthority guy's files to 3D print MT3 keycaps for buckling springs, his project seems to have died in quiet.
>>738662046have you ever written an interrupt routine you little faggot
>>738663307I like to live life on the edge
>>738657184>No volume keyLmao poorfag
>>738667862You don't need one if you have a physical volume knob. OS volume at 100%, no worries about something suddenly deafening you, or your recordings being too quiet.
>>738657184>n-key rollovers in your buttholet-thanks membrane-kun!
>>738657184Mechanical keyboards are pieces of shit due to key chatter. Either stay in membrane or go straight into magnetic.
>>738665438The new Model F keyboards come with a Windows key too (you can even tack on an actual Windows keycap from Unicomp to your order, including a Win95 style one if you so desire like I did).
>>738668048Also you can do a layout mod with a short spacebar to get two modifier buttons on the right. Though you'll have to deal with Win and Menu being the other way around.
>>738657184While I do love the feel of my fancy mechanical keyboard I have a no name chinese bargain bin membrane GAMER keyboard I used for 15 years without any problems. My office has even more ancient peripherals floating around. Membranes are truly unbeatable in reliability.
>>738668896Scissor keys are better than membrane when it comes to reliability IMO, but the two I had literally broke after a few droplets of water spilled in the keyboard. No worth paying for something that can break so easily, but the design could be improved to prevent something like that happening.
>>738669158That's some hot scissoring!
>>738657184You bought a $40 'mechanical keyboard' from the Xinjingpaocze brand, and got what you paid for.Real mechanical keyboards don't have those issues.Not that there's anything wrong with membrane, mind you, but it's like saying that keyboards in general are bad because the one you got from 5 Below sucks.
>>738669447You're either lying or you don't use your keyboard enough. I have tried over the years from cheap no name Chinese brands to supposedly well recognized name brands, from PCBs to switches, and they all have chattering issues.
>>738669712It's an issue with the technology. Magnetic and optical keyboard fixes it but can bring other issues (i.e. Hall Effect switches being sensitive to magnets).
>>738669712Meanwhile the only keyboard I've ever had with random PCB death or switches chattering independently of actual switch health was a GMMK Pro. Using an 8bitdo full-size keyboard right now and love it, fucking weird that the best plastic case on the market seems to be from a controller manufacturer
/r/ing suggestions for a less noisy mechanical keyboard without RGBTQIA+ lights>>738665638>Dot>Matrix>Mainframethread theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_903744xh8
>>738657184just swap the switch for a good one, are you retarded?
>>738670205If you're the type to be championing a junk Logitech keyboard over even a bargain bin mechanical, I think it stands to reason you'd also be the type to be a cultist for soldered switches regardless of the widespread availability and zero downsides of a hotswap socket>>738670132>without RGBTQIA+ lightsUse your big swinging testosterone laden testicles and turn the lights offGet any keyboard and a silent tactile or silent linear switch, Boba U4 tactiles are still a common choice for silent tactiles, ask /g/ or the Redditors at r/mechanicalkeyboards for further recs
>>738660406>Cheapo membrane keyboardSome buttons will harden if you use them for 1 or 2 years, and they are impossible to clean them. Buttons can also die.>cheapo mechanical keyboardMore comfortable button pressing, better accuracy, lots of buying choices ( you can get a circumcised one or a classic one) you can easily remove buttons and put them back if you play hardcore games like broodwar, and finally mech keyboards are easy to clean and modify. You can buy some cheap switches and you can replace the faulty ones with a soldering gun if you have bought a cheap mech keyboard. Premium ones have quality parts in them and switches can be removed easily with some tweezers, so you dont have to worry about anything. Also, you can also do some research and you can replace the button switches from your cheap mech keyboard with quieter ones if you want. All and all its a 50 dollar job to do all these things, and the result is 10 times better than using a membrane keyboard
