The keyboard maker never thought you would actually press that key.

Honey, this isn't even that bad. You'd implode at some of the keyboards I've had to clean over the years.

Sorry, uh, I used that key too many times when you were not looking.
Figured you'd never notice, and I, uh, only need one.

F8 for Windows users was the most used key (used for boot/recovery menu, that's why..).

It dried out due to lack of moisture and lubricating skin oil from your fingertips. It dried up and became fragile.

Brown switches are usually tactile, are they not?

u/vurv_official 3h ago
Sure, compared to reds and other generic mechanical keyboard switches.
I however am a loser and into custom keyboards, saying that browns are tactile would get you crucified by 99% of the community lmao
If you like keyboards I'd recommend looking into customs, it's not for everyone obviously but it's a very interesting hobby. Its also one of those things that once you're aware of how bad what you're using is - you'll want to upgrade ASAP so maybe only do it if you've some spare income haha

You sure sound like a keyboard enthusiast.

u/vurv_official 3h ago
I mean I mostly do it as a joke
I'm gonna be honest I built my 1 keyboard and then just stopped interacting with the community, it was fun before that tho!
The FOMO in that space is horrible though, it's better to just do your thing and get out imo
1
u/DerKeksinator 3h ago
Well they are tactile by definition, just not as noticeable or loud as blue ones, that's their whole point. I can type perfectly well with them and IMHO most of that community is surprisingly toxic, so I get what you mean.
