Oh, I remember rubberdomes alright...I just wonder what the designers were thinking, maybe it was..:
~ Dern Cherry Corp and Alps. How are we gonna compete with their switches. I know, let's start with a rubberdome, cut all the individual rubber pieces out, mold rubber~ ~ around the keyswitch parts, and then encase those inside a plastic shell. We'll call it RealForce, and all the kids will line up around the blocks to buy them because we ~
~ will put them in super trendy HHKB's and market them as 'hybrid' tactile switches. We will make millions. Oh, and the leftover parts, we will put in a keyboard we will ~
~ call...wait for it...Type Heaven!
~ <Applause> ~
And then, we wake up and buy a Ducky with Brown or Clear Switches and Extra Thick PBT keycaps!
