How do 5140's compare to a Dell QuietKey?

[QuincyJones]

The earlier Quietkey vs your generic 5140?

[fohat.digs]

Isn't the 5140 a very rare old Alps board?

I think this is a troll post judging by the OP's history, so I wouldn't get too excited to comment btw.

But if this is a real question, you're asking to compare NMB Dome With Sliders (which are not terrible as far as rubber domes go) with tactile brown ALPS, there is no comparison.

[QuincyJones]

uh, they both have rubber domes inside.

Do you mean the BTC 5140?

The BTC Dome With Sliders are a lot better than the NMB.

Can't just throw random model numbers around, the 5140 is a relatively sought after PC/Keyboard with rarer brown alps switches and it is also the model number of another rubber dome board.

[QuincyJones]

Yeah, not the laptop's keyboard. Thought that would have been obvious with me asking about two rubber-domed keyboards. It's ok, I don't expect an apology for your misunderstanding.

I think you confused all of us alps junkies. Ive tried nmb dome with slider, and ive tried btc dome with slider. btc wins, but not by much. theyre both good for rubbers.

I have read pretty good things about the BTC dome over sliders, the capacitive ones at least.  People say that they are pretty close to Topre in terms of at least sound, very thocky.

Here's a video someone recorded of their BTC 5100C/SIIG Minitouch Plus:

you never stated that they were both rubber domes.

It's ok, i don't expect an apology from you despite your misunderstanding and your outlandish claim I'm a troll as only a moron would think that in the first place.

They're not capacitive dude xD . They're very good though. My dome with slider megareview might be quite beneficial to OP.

Darn, that's too bad.  I suppose "conductive rubber" over PCB isn't quite the same thing.  I could have sworn reading that it was capacitive someplace.

Capacitive elements don't use simple conductors . You don't bridge a contact in capacitors, you need an insulator! If you're interested in how they work, watch my F122 video .

Seeing the first frame of this video made me think of a joblot I've seen recently: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=82797.0

Buy one Teensy and make one of these:

I'm really starting to question the basis of my existence. Do you have a video for that?

The basis of your existence? I can make one if I get enough requests for it .
