Keyboard heads will literally make their entire keyboard out of silicone before using a membrane keyboard

@Ballador 12 дней назад

I'm using a membrane keyboard. At least until my mechanical keyboard I have on order arrives. I like the quietness of my Logitech Illuminated Keyboard K740. They named it "illuminated keyboard" because it literally was their first keyboard with backlight. I've been using it since. The membrane is starting to fail and I've had to cut and splice the cable a few times due to the rubber insulation becoming hard and brittle so I'm getting a new keyboard. Point is, this thing is VERY quiet.

@novaflareq4788 11 дней назад

The only membrane I'll ever touch will be coupled with scissor switches, otherwise every key has a slightly different pressure required to actuate it and it drives me round the bend.

@Ballador 11 дней назад

@@novaflareq4788 that's actually what my membrane keyboard has. It's very low profile

@novaflareq4788 11 дней назад

@@Ballador Yeah, I have one from Cherry that I use as a spare. Tenkeyless with scissor switches make it easy to stuff in a bag. The best scissor switch keyboard I ever used though was on a large, old Acer laptop. Borderline mechanical feel. None of this chiclet nonsense.

@user-ig2qu4fx9x 8 дней назад

I honestly prefer membrane keyboards. I think it's a nostalgia thing for me, but it's just the way the keys sound chunky that makes it satisfying to use. Plus, I'm not a fan of RGB lights anymore, so my new Logitech wireless comfort keyboard was well worth the $40 I spent at Staples.

@nomad_20XX 13 дней назад

You know, membranes could TECHNICALLY be considered silicone switches, if you really want to go down that route. Topre might be the best middle ground though

I had an all silicone keyboard in high school! It was hot pink and had zero thonk or clack or anything, as it was a membrane roll up one. What it did have going for it was it was a good decoy for cats to sit on and it was wholly immune to spills as it could just be rinsed off. Worse than a laptop for typing experience, but much less anxiety when you spill peach juice all over your keyboard (thankfully the keyboard I did that to was the old school mechanical and each key was in a little cup of sorts to hold the spring and thus pcb was wholly isolated from above, and i was able to clean it up and it was fine, but that was why I decided to try both cups with lids and a waterproof keyboard). Yours is a much better typing experience though, and definitely easier on the eyes.

Hi, I really love your videos and I'm a French viewer. I discovered a real passion for keyboards, especially those that make a satisfying noise. I actually followed your videos to lubricate my keyboard that I currently have. However, I would like to ask you if it was possible to make a video on the presentation of keyboards (which you would recommend) for us French people (French ISO - Azerty). I look at the keyboards that different brands that you request but I don't see much for us French players (switching to a qwerty keyboard is really annoying).

@GonzoIsCool 14 дней назад

Have you ever used an actual antique typewriter? Like a early 1900s underwood? My grandparents had one and it was my first experience with a keyboard. To call it a unique introduction is an understatement. My daughter still gives me a strange look when I say hit return instead of enter. Also, there is no less forgiving keyboard than that one. Accidentally punch two keys and you'll see what I mean. I think you'd make a very enjoyable video out of using an underwood, and there are plenty of antique typewriter youtubers who would enjoy doing a collaboration with you. Maybe they could try your keyboard on their channel for a change of pace. Not sure if you'll try it, but I figured I'd throw the idea out here for ya.

@novaflareq4788 11 дней назад

I think I do remember using some computer keyboards that have the big fat Enter key as the RETURN key in order to distinguish it from the small enter key on the numpad. Whenever I hear someone say "hit the return key" I always assume it's the enter key, so it's not weird or anything, it still makes sense to call it the return key, if only it was printed as such.

hipyo tech, I have a question, I have a custom monsgeek m1 and added a tape mod as well as a polyfill mod, it worked fine and sounded great but after half a year or so in some fps games some keys were inconsistent with registering, as a result i removed the poly fill and tape mod hoping it will fix it as i tried everything now. As a result it now sounds clacky as it used to sound thocky, what kind of other mods should i do or what should i do so the tape mod doesn't interfere with the registering of keys.

@Billy_The_Frog 16 дней назад

I got an extremely cursed keyboard from one of my friends which I was trying to fix. It has chattering issues on what feels like all of the keys. I have tried: opening the switches and cleaning them in IPA trying other switches changing the debounce delay writing several other debounce algorithms (the current one works pretty well, but still isn't perfect) not even with a debounce time of 100ms does this keyboard not register two keystrokes sometimes. Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on? The issue does not appear to affect all of the keys equally, but when the switches from this keyboard were used in a different one, that one worked fine.
