Will constant key press (race car gaming) damage switch spring?
AmigaDisk:
Hi
I just got a Keychron Q3 max. Very nice, and most expensive keyboard for me so far
So I'm already a bit protective of it
I'm playing a race game a lot where I hold down one key for acceleration almost constantly
Won't this easily damage the switch spring, I mean weaken the spring tension?
It's not an issue yet and I must say I haven't had an issue with it before.. just being cautious this time
Leslieann:
It can but it will take years.
Since you have hot swaps, you can always just replace the spring or the switch later.

You will die before that key dies. :D

hehe ok :)

Springs can go flat, seen it a few times on older used boards.
