So I swapped a 71G4644 controller into a buckling spring SSK.
Pics on this thread.It works. Except that very often, I will capitalize one more character than intended -- "IT" instead of "It" for example.
What's going on?
Possibility #1 -- The shift key is actually sticky
Possibility #2 -- I'm making typos
Possibility #3 -- Rubber dome and buckling spring controllers differ
When you touch type, you're likely depressing the "t" in "It" while releasing the Shift key.
On a rubber dome board, you've already released the Shift key before making contact on the "t" key, because the make/break point is down on the floor of the mariana trench, where the keys bottom out.
On a buckling spring board, with exactly the same motions, you could make contact on the "t" key before breaking contact on the Shift key, given the high make-contact and break-contact points.
Maybe the buckling spring controller helps you to avoid capitalizing that second letter? (And the rubber dome controller does not.) That's my guess. How would extra-capitalization-avoidance work? Maybe it delays reporting the keypress event? Gamers wouldn't like that...
Does anyone game on buckling spring? Probably a few die hards. "Oh dudes remember Doom? I've got Shotgun, Chaingun, ratatatatatatatata ... oh that was the MOdel F..."
(there! it just happened again! Seeee??)
Um and how the heck would you test this quantitatively...
