Thread: Keyboard.

  1. #1

    Keyboard.

    My keyboard doesn't always register my presses. What do I do?

    My keyboard registers my key presses 99% of the time, so I guess it's not a big deal, right?

    Open and clean it

    Could be an issue described in the link below, though this is just a random guess since you didn't post any info about your keyboard or the circumstances in which it fails to register your input.

    My keyboard is a Logitech K120, and occasionally it doesn't type a letter when I type it. For example, earlier, I tried to type k, and it didn't register.

    Depends on how import a random 1% miss of actions will do to your raiding/pvp'ing/WoW'ing ability.

    This. Entirely.

    (is the OP using a non-mechanical keyboard? what does that mean exactly? like a touch-sceen-ish something-or-other?)

    That's a pretty cheap keyboard. Either replace it with another cheap keyboard, or pick up something nice (as zenkai suggests).

    Wait, I think I might have figured it out. I'm a really fast typist, so sometimes I don't hit a key when I think I did.

    My brain is faster than my fingers.

    Hard to find, most are those noisy IBM style relics with travel time of... more than like 0.8mm (!). Insane, like who the hell has time to press a key more than 0.6mm? Technology is already there, but hipsters like their typewriters and crappy IBM mechanical keyboards.

    ...how are mechanical keyboards hard to find? Almost all gaming keyboards except for the very cheapest models are mechanical now. This one is (it's the one I use).

    These are old IBM clones (IBM model m?) with insane useless travel time. Which is crap for typing.

    I mean, those are mechanical yes. But they are not the only mechanical keyboards, not by far. Mechanical keyboards are a dime a dozen these days. It's membrane keyboards that are hard to find outside of the cheap "$5 keyboards on endcaps" market.
