Title: Topre vibrating feeling
Post by: DrinkTea on Mon, 29 July 2013, 03:00:08
I have a realforce 55g weighted 87u and in some of the keys, particularly around my left pinkie, I kind of feel a vibrating feeling when I let up on the key. Is this normal? It's very faint but kind of odd.

This is plate reverberating. I had similar feeling about the 45G Realforce. It's a part of oneness with a cup rubber ;)

it's $300 dollars "Vanity" item.

$300 gets you many many useful daily consumables.

But as far as vanity goes, $300 is still us poor people level. :D

It's delusional to expect much more.

One time on my laptop it started feeling like that when I touched the metal on the palm rest but it was after I plugged this printer into a usb port so I think it was some sort of electric shock.

That'd be cool if someone made a keyboard with a small motor that vibrated on key presses.

Probably just a bit of natural reverb. Any construction nearby? Music festivals?

not sure if your trolling, but there is the plunger?

One of the plungers actually was lubed (the control key, which I noticed when I swapped that and capslock). I didn't know they did this. It could provide some help. Perhaps it would slow the speed the switch snaps back at?
And maybe it's just a problem with my hand. After all almost all of the other keys feel fine.
