You're supposed to clean your keyboard?

I bought one with lights and it's a glorious display case for my collection of dead skin, crumbs and stray pubes.

How are your pubes getting near your k--

wait, no I don't want the answer to that question.

Stray WHAT??? 😭

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

My god, unplug the USB or just turn off the keyboard. Simple.

I bought an expensive mechanical keyboard. It is the bane of my existence.

Oversensitive little princess that needs its precious little keycaps polished every other week to stop it from double tapping itself, and when that doesn't work you have to program it not to hiccup, and yet it still does.

Never used to have this problem with the cheap plastic ones I used to buy.

Dont buy into the mechanical keyboard fad. It's a scam for idiots like myself who think pretty LEDs will solve their nonexistent problems.

I have a mechanical keeb and cleaned it once in the last year I think you purchased a PoS

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I've owned many boards and have never heard of such issues. That sounds like a really cheap one, or inexperienced company.

I've never had issues with many switches between Cherry, Kailh, Gateron, etc

A lot of the better brands include LEDs too. It's just another checkbox on the product comparison sheet. Not like you can't shut em off anyway

Keychron Q1 Max. Google it, double press and keyboard chatter is a recurring problem.

They even released a new firmware recently specifically to tackle the problem, and still it persists

Your mistakes was buying for the leds and not the switches. I have one with mx cherry blues, it is built like a tank.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I got banana switches. Gutter shite.

What keyboard did you get?

I would steer clear of gaming mechanicals now but I've switched to Keychron and I love it.

I have a mechanical keyboard and have double click issues. I just kinda press down the keys really hard until they stop double clicking...

Is there a software solution for this? Like something that prevents double clicking by filtering keyboard inputs? ^for^ ^Wayland,^ ^on^ ^Linux?^

My dumb ass just went and tried to clean my screen before I read your comment

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago

Did you put it into screen cleaning mode first?

It has been saved, reposted and saved so many times that there is data loss making fuzzy artifacts in the picture.

Just open up notepad, start cleaning, and then use the resulting document as a word finder puzzle. Hell, if you're really lucky you might write the next best selling novel.

Wouldn't recommend this. I mean, it was publishable, sure. But there were tons of spelling errors.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

Bah! That's what editors are for!

They told me it was already published by Shakespeare.

Some keyboards have a lock button and most can be unplugged

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Mostly only an issue for laptops.

Side note: whoever decided that pressing any key on the keyboard should turn on the computer should be shot. Fuck you Apple for bringing that back.

There were two HDMI ports. (I selected the correct one)

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (12 children)
  1. Unplug keyboard or turn off bluetooth.
  2. Clean keyboard.

Thank you, meme, for making me take 20 seconds to clean my phone screen then wonder why it wouldn't clean.
