Keyboards / Re: Dust proof MX compatible switches
« Last post by Findecanor on Mon, 11 May 2026, 13:05:56 »
The Kailh Box switches are the first to come to mind. The slider pushes onto a lever on the side of a box, and the mechanism is inside that box, separate from the compartment with the slider. That is supposed to make them more resistant to dust.
However, I dunno if anyone in the community has actually put that to the test.

The Kailh Box also has a shroud around the stem supposed to also make it harder for dust to get inside the first compartment.
Switches from other manufacturers with just a stem-shroud have also been marketed as "dust-proof" without being significantly different on the inside than a standard MX-type switch.

BTW. There are also some vintage boards with Cherry MX (or clone) that has like a fitted rubber or plastic sheet to protect against dust and liquids (colloquially called a "keyboard condom"). Those sheets would only fit on regular stems: not shrouded ones.
I've had one with a silicone sheet but it impaired key feel considerably, but I've seen police car keyboards with a thinner sheet.
I wonder what the best way would be to make one yourself. Perhaps 3D-print a mould, lay a sheet of plastic bag material and gently use a heat-gun? SIlicone would require a two-part mould, I'd think. Silicone could be thickened to be brushable, but the result would be stiffer and uneven.

8K is quite interesting, because many old games can be played at that Res, and you get that ontop of great text clarity.

The issue right now is cable bandwidth is lacking to do Legit 8K.

We need a 272 Gbit cable for 8K, 10bit 240hz.  Unless we're willing to settle for DSC which is yucky. So we'd probably need fibr, or a cable with alot more pins.

Keyboards / Dust proof MX compatible switches
« Last post by Melvang on Mon, 11 May 2026, 10:45:46 »
Is anyone aware of any MX compatible switches that are legit dust proof?  I am probably going to be getting issued a tablet at work for a new-ish safety program.  The issue is I hate typing on a tablet sized touch screen.  So, I am wanting to swap the Cherry switches on my JD40 and my GH36 to dust proof.  The reason I need dust proof is because I work in one of the largest cast iron foundries in the US.

HHKB Hybrid the latest generation. The case is firm and not flimsy, and it feels nice with the soft bottom out. The sound is very nice, and the aesthetics are very nice. OEM wins 9/10 times with carrot or cheese domes its way better. It's probably one of the best-feeling keyboards. I moved away from your traditional keyboards to staggered ortho keyboards since they feel way more comfortable. If I didn't move away, then I would have stayed with the HHKB hybrid.

Who actually plays competitive gamz though?  Most of us only ever pretended to play e-sp0artz.  Pretend to Pretend.

77 Inch is the sweet spot for 10 feet rooms, with a good walking space standing desk.  85 inch is pushing it,  98 inch is you lean against the wall full time.

8K can't come soon enuff.


but do we really need 8K?
I feel ike 4k is enough.
