Yesterday I bought a Cherry G84-4100. So far so good, just needs getting used to and maybe switch break-in (just like browns) for a smoother feel. The only two problems that I encountered were some aspects of the layout that I fixed remapping via registry (Pause key is now DEL, tilde key is Left Alt, Left Alt is now Left Win) but yesterday I tried it for gaming and encountered some ghosting.
Not really problematic as far as gaming efficiency goes, but I noticed it without looking for it; you can't press LeftShift+W+Tab. This happened when trying to sprint and check the scoreboard
. However, I did some testing and the right shift obviously doesn't have that problem.
So my question is, could I hand wire the left shift switch to actuate in the right shift contacts so when you press the left shift it actually "presses" right shift? Will I encounter some problem when using the keyboard (something like X software not working correctly because left shift is expected?). Anyway, I could then remap via software right shift to be left shift, so I'm more interested in if this is physically possible and how to do it.
And if it's worth it
