Title: Truly Ergonomic keyboard registering double keypresses?
Post by: heuristicist on Wed, 08 February 2012, 22:10:59

So I just got my TECK today and I'm really frustrated by it. Part of it is due to the funny key locations---which hopefully I will become accustomed to, but I really think an extra column to the right of the right-pinky column would be warranted to keep /, |, - and ' where you expect them. However I think this is stuff that is a matter of overcoming muscle memory.

The bigger issue is that I am getting a lot of double key presses. I have to keep a watchful eye on what I type and usually have to re-enter passwords. Has anyone else had this? This seems like it would be a firmware issue rather than hardware...

I do like the Blue switches---my laptop keyboard feels so gross now---but I'm not so convinced about the TECK's ergonomic features. I may just have to return it and up my max-price on the ErgoDox...

EDIT: Just saw this thread: http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?25055-Truly-Ergonomic-missing-right-arrow-key-presses, sorry for the extra thread.

RMA it or ask for a replacement with browns or reds

Was the problem just with blue switches? The reds were also taken off their website.

There aren't many red TEs around here. IIRC Gerk and RTbar have/had one, though RTbar's is going to treigle I think.

Gerk posted he had no issues (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?25055-Truly-Ergonomic-missing-right-arrow-key-presses), dunno about RTbar.
