Pang
« on: Mon, 10 November 2014, 13:22:21 »
So I have a ducky with tactile greys.
I'm experiencing something I haven't before with any other switch type (red, brown, black, clear, blue, green or whites).
I get a metallic pang from releasing the keys.
It is more pronounced the farther up that row is from the bottom of the case (it almost non-existent on the bottom row but more pronounced on the number row and the function row).

I just cut out some of that thick non-adhesive shelf liner and put that in. While it lessened the pang, I can still hear it.
is there anything i can do to get rid of it or is this something that i will have to live with?


Thanks,

-Blacke

That's usually from the springs. You can try oiling them, but it will more than likely continue to occur.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

well...

I could hear a ping when hitting a key that had one of the costar stabs.

The pang from the greys is different and "actually" sounds like a pang.

The tactile gray has a different sound than typical ping.

I really don't here pang when I type.  I here more of a pthunk.  Yes, a pthunk.  Then again I've had explosives go off near me more than I'd like to admit.  Maybe my hearing is a bit skewed.
