doh! topre key key not smooth
« on: Sat, 28 May 2011, 13:42:33 »
One of my switches is not smooth anymore! It goes down but takes a lot of pressure before it slides down.
Is it easy to remove the switch? gah! I hate family members...

That rubber dome keyboard you got with your computer? You put that out whenever you put out the guest towels.
Or if necessary, whenever you move away from the computer :)

What is OCN? The old cantankerous neighbor? obsolete computer network? over-cooked noodles? outspoken crybaby nerds? obsequious cable newscasters?

My bro keeps using my topre board because he says its the best.  I say no(cus he has sweaty hands and after he is done the board is nasty) and put it away. Well I went to sleep and he clambered on my computer to play video games, woke up and the topre board was out and dirty, and one of the keys doesn't depress properly...

I actually left my unicomp out because its a tank, he doesn't like it much.

Offensive problem has been fixed! My work here is done..




I meant my keyboard not Ripster ;0

The plunger was sticky(not sure what made it stick), took a cotton swap and swabbed it, and reassembled.  What a hassle, too many freaking screws.

I might drool on the keyboard when I am sleeping though, it is probably better to put it under the toilet seat.

Buy another Topre and a computer and give it to your brother as a gift.

We can always buy another mech keyboard but not another brother. On the worst case you have to wait 9 months and 10 days for delivery.

Why would I buy him a gift after he snuck my board out and then gunked on it...
He has his own keyboard(cherry clears) and computer, he just likes using the topre and soiling it...

OK, then kill him and sell his Cherry clear keyboard in Geekhack's bulletin. He deserve no mercy when misusing your Topre like that while ignoring his own Cherry.

Next time sleep with your keyboard under the pillow.

LoL - Bad advice, this is exactly what he did to begin with.

I suspect the stickyness came from Tooth Fairy mucus
