Title: holding down WSAD keys
Post by: devilcm3 on Mon, 08 February 2010, 07:33:59

i recently find myself to be addicted with mass effect 2...and playing with it for hours a day....

the game is nice....but i had a concern about my keyboard(cherry brown)
since that this game is FPS ...means i had to hold down WSAD keys often , so....will this do any harm to the switches? loose / weak springs because of long holding the keys for too long?

You shouldn't have any problems.  Those keys will probably break in faster than the others, but other than that, you'll be fine.  You will probably buy another keyboard before you wear any of the switches out, though.

That >50000000 operations surely must mean something.

You might wear the keycaps smooth or blank eventually, but that's all.
