I'm just asking, I have been using linear reds and am constantly bottoming out the keys... just making sure.
-
I really do not think so.....unless you push really, really hard.
-
The better keyboard has a steel plate where the switch is attached to, so bottoming out would just make a nice sound of hitting steel. Should not harm it or anything.
-
fingers ;D

For the most part I'd say don't worry about it.
However if you're reallyyyyyyyy picky, I'd say it will damage your finger joint and make tiny dents on the inside of your keycap from hitting the corner of switch housing.
Though the damage is so subtle it probably wouldn't matter.

looking at your question, then looking at your avatar.... What are you?!?!?! a cry baby in BL body?

That does not hurt much, but why punching on the keys if you can dance on the keyboard? Remember that you only have to go half way to make a key registered.
Be sophisticated with such wonderful peripheral. Keyboard God has sent you a missionary.

cool.. thanks for the quick response fella's. I guess I was asking since reds seem to have such a light touch that its hard for me not to bottom out all the time. Maybe I will look into something that takes a little more force.

What makes you think I'm being a "cry baby in BL body" :'(

It only hurts your typing speed.
:D
Seriously though, learning not to bottom out brought me from 110-120 to over 140.

For the love of the keyboard community don't break a nail bottoming out :rolleyes:

;D yeah yeah

Keyboards are meant to be able to bottom out

Agreed. Though I bottom out on mechanical keyboards because it sounds nice and it's more fun lol.
And obviously I don't bottom out with the force of 1000 fury.

Typing speed isn't everything. Bottoming out is fun and clacktastic.

My initial interpretation as well was that bottoming out was hurting your fingers...I was imagining a guy fighting off imaginary bad guys with a toy nunchaku and then complaining about keyboards hurting his fingers...Not the case I guess; and your keyboard is designed to handle the bottoming out.
-
It's won't break stuff. People say that they can type faster without, but I do it anyways.
-
I honestly type quite a bit faster typing more lightly, because if you type for speed and you bottom out, you deserve to use a rubber dome. It's the exact same, overcompensating force and pressing all the way down. If you didn't want to have an actuation at the bottom, you should actually use the damn switch like it's supposed to be, by actuating it near the center.
-
I could truly care less whether I bottom out. I've never damaged a keyboard as a result.

Waits for someone to inform davkol that TP was been, yet again apparently, banned for another week.

Botteming out is about as much of a circlejerk as stickering your board is.
It may look good, but ultimately it does nothing.
Bottom out to your hearts content.
