I uploaded a typing test of the 30g Realforce 10th Anniversary I had. This was on SoundCloud which is going to explode soon, so I wanted to preserve it. I also have one of the Type-S in there somewhere but there are probably better videos to reference since it's a way more common keyboard.

God drat I need me some cup rubber

Yeah if the motherboard is being used, it�s providing enough power. You should next look into the quality/capacity of the cable. Did it ship with the keyboard? Do other users report the same issue?

It comes down to ABS vs PBT and if it isn�t PBT it is trash.

Artisan coiled cables are the funniest thing to me because it�s almost 100% a visual thing. The coil doesn�t actually behave like an industrially produced coiled cable.

Is there software that tracks key presses so I can get an idea of how often I use things like function keys, arrows and numpad?

I feel like that would help me decide what level of compact keeb is right for me.

They get easier to press over time too. It�s either a wearing-in thing or your fingers just get super roided out and you need to graduate up to clears.

Yeah the wire spreader one is probably the best design and least likely to gently caress up the caps.

I had a plastic one with the ring on it but it cracked and became useless very quickly.

Are there any keebs that have a numpad but are still compact or smaller than standard 104 keyboards? I want to spend $250 on something I want but don't need.

Is there a particularly good switch or keyboard type for someone who types really hard?

I grew up learning to type with and playing computer games on one of those classic IBM keyboards, so I'm a super hard key presser. I've been wanting a new keyboard for work so I'm not stuck using a laptop keyboard, but I can really make a keyboard sing. I messed with a Cherry sampler someone brought to the office, but it was pretty immediately apparent that red, blue, green, it didn't matter what switch or whether I use dampening rings, I bottom keys out hard enough that you're gonna hear my typing loud and clear.

Just buy a Unicomp

Is there a similar thread for this sort of thing dedicated to arcade controllers? Like in the games sub forum or something?

I got another CODE to match my work setup and I forgot how good this board looks stock. The caps it ships with legit look good.

I'm sure on some level stem lube is time/temperature sensitive but I'd wager as long as it's been kept indoors at a reasonable temperature it's perfectly fine to still use.

That's what I fear as well, because my other key iard is now showing these problems (flashed my keen for nothing :x). Hope I don't have to reinstall Windows to get things to work again.

If you're formatting your machine to get a keyboard to work, take a step back and reevaluate

I need a keyboard that has the following options:

-bluetooth
-Compact but has dedicated arrow keys
-Has a function row but doesn't need to be dedicated (i.e. it can be an alternate mode for the number row)
-some kind of tactile switch like clears or browns

What are my options? Amazon has a bunch of Keychrons that fit the bill but I've never used that brand.

The use case is in my living room to occasionally use with a MiSTer when I need to do any configuration that I can't do with a controller.
