Anyone else notice that topre switches are noticeably stiffer when colder?  In the morning my keyboard is much more tactile and stiff than after typing on it for half an hour.

Rubber becomes stiffer when warmer.  Maybe your fingers are stiffer when colder :P

I dont think rubber works that way.

I know my hands are noticeably stiffer in the cold.  My hands tend to get cold first, so as long as I keep them warm I am fine.  However when I have cold hands, my typing speed and accuracy drops noticeably.

Does anyone know if the rubber domes are replaceable at all? If so, who sells them?

After reading some things from earlier, all I can say is thank god for banning Ripster. Racist, anal about people questioning him, downright stubborn as a smurf.

Yeah well, that was the FIRST time I used the RipOmeter so it makes sense my methodology 2 years ago wasn't as refined.

Anyway I'm right and you're wrong.  Just ask all the people that have done Ghetto Reds and other spring swaps.

Yeah.

Neither of those sound racist.

But that just gives people an excuse to charge even more ridiculous and exorbitant prices for them.

Sadly it seems that people do not need an excuse to charge more.
