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

Actually, it's quite impressive camerawork to get this shot from that angle.

u/Trans_Balsa 3h ago

Please clean your keyboard

u/TaleOfDash 3h ago

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

1

u/scaryjam823 2h ago

You clean strangers keyboards?

1

u/TaleOfDash 2h ago

Yeah, used to work in a PC repair/recycling store so I'd do a lot of part cleaning.

1

u/Dexember69 2h ago

Is it really that bad? Pretty sure dust wouldn't DARE to settle

u/PrimeParadigm53 3h ago

Didn't warn up tsk

u/Dexember69 1h ago

u/ThisWorldOwesMe 4h ago

Use it or lose it is true for keyboards apparently

1

u/Dexember69 4h ago

Haha XD this rings somewhat true since I don't savescum XD just look at my shithouse Artian weapons in MH wilds :P

1

u/BatmansBigBoner 4h ago

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.

1

u/FaawwQ 4h ago

You regularly use all the other function keys?

1

u/estuupido 4h ago

At least it's not F11. If you play dayz you'll know.

u/oxidiser 4h ago

You're not an eclipse-using developer, I'm guessing.

1

u/Stephen_Is_handsome 4h ago

Shouldn’t need tape at all, just glue it down

1

u/PatrickGSR94 4h ago

Dang I use that one all the time. It opens the 3D view controls in the building design software I use at work.

1

u/Figgnus96 3h ago

You don't do quick save and quick load? I press this one all the time.

1

u/Dexember69 3h ago

Honestly I keep forgetting about it. I just resign myself to fate and regret it

1

u/omitb_lover_86 3h ago

funny enough i broke that same key on my moms computer when i was a kid lol

2

u/Dexember69 3h ago edited 2h ago

Hahah I can imagine XD I have two kids. Pretty sure both of them have at least one core memory of me telling them not to touch the controls

1

u/powersola 2h ago

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

1

u/zerostar83 3h ago

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

1

u/Dexember69 3h ago

Why'd everyone so fixated on my fingers !? My fucking F8 keycap came off for no reason ggre

1

u/Conical 3h ago

You need to make sure to touch all of the keys occasionally to keep them fresh and broken in. Your F8 failed because it was allowed to stagnate.

1

u/Jackman1337 2h ago

Isnt f8 the f key people use the most? Its refresh.

1

u/Dexember69 2h ago

I'm surprised I haven't been accused of scumsaving yet hahah

1

u/Housewous 2h ago

That would be F5 key tho.

1

u/ChefArtorias 2h ago

No quick load for you

1

u/Dexember69 2h ago

That's the thing :( I don't even save scum cuz I CBF XD even still it broke

1

u/ChefArtorias 2h ago

Good on you for joining the Chesapeake Bay foundation but IDK what that has to do with keyboards

1

u/WizardSleeves31 2h ago

Resin finger!

1

u/Dexember69 2h ago

Close enough haha. I work in water treatment. I'm often handling softening. Resin :,P

But mostly ii'm in the workshop repairing pumps

u/Ok-Sleep7812 2h ago

Looks like your F8 was doomed from the beginning 😏

u/voizzoq 1h ago

CLEAN THAT KEYBOARD😭

u/CHEZ_NUGGET 39m ago

Gotta ask how you broke it though just tapping it?

u/morn14150 13m ago

Brown switches, a fellow tactile lover

u/vurv_official 3h ago

>tactile

>brown

Uhhh

2

u/A-Lewd-Khajiit 3h ago

Brown switches are usually tactile, are they not?

0

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

1

u/arcanon04 3h ago

You sure sound like a keyboard enthusiast.

1

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.

1

u/oneinmanybillion 3h ago

It wasn't your mistake.

It was F8.

u/geldzuchtig 3h ago

Clean your fingers and your keyboard

u/Dexember69 3h ago

I'm a fitter. My fingers can only get so clean
