Title: Lookie what I found
Post by: Lain1911 on Mon, 23 June 2014, 15:54:06

Probably all rubber domes but they were ALL FREE. So I'm like...why not? What should I do with these? Warning pics inc.

Agreed, the quietkey is likely the best rubber dome among the rubber domes you have there.

That said, excellent price!

So in other words keep the quietkey and make a youtube video keyboard destruction derby with the rest? @:)

it might be the heaviest and best built quality wise..

but I'd argue that cheap $5 rubber domes are better performing..

because the slider design of the quiet key is very friction-ee

I would say it depends on which variant you get.

Also, I think you should lube the stems anyway. I did it on my military keyboard (rubberdome, but capacitive with NKRO) and it made a huge difference. It's fully sealed so I don't expect it to adversely affect the function.

I agree on saying the Dell Quietkey is probably the best of the bunch there. I used those keyboards for a while and they were some of the better of the rubber domes out there, at least the earlier version with the white sliders.
