…It was about ten minutes after I saw that my “ridiculous low-ball” Ebay bid for a branded battlecruiser had won. That said, it is way snappier (and louder) than any rubber dome I’ve ever used. It’s not a bad board at all, really, though the terminal scan code set it was flashed with means the converter is more or less mandatory, despite the board having a PS/2 connector.
I used one of these for a while, and weirdly it’s the only keyboard I’ve ever used that gave me finger pain.
I can imagine. It’s a different kind of typing experience.
I suspect it was due to how much force is required to finally overcome the membrane, which caused a sharp and semi forceful drop as I bottomed out, and there’s not much squish or dampening to soften it. I think I’m a somewhat heavy typer though, so that likely compounded it.
Yeah, if you were using one of these rubber dome M’s, then the tactile event is firm and has quite the drop-off. I like it better than the average dome, but it’s not fuckin’ around.
Lmfao, that’s an excellent way of putting it 😂
