Corpse Run 987: Can I get an F in chat?
So this happened, like actually, my F keycap broke. While it genuinely is mapped to “I need healing” in Overwatch, I assume it’s mount snapping was more likely due to a manufacturer defect than the key being hit more violently than any others. WASD would be the most likely candidates for getting mashed too hard.
Now, I ordered some new keycaps to replace it, but I am a big dumb dumb…
…I have an older keyboard from the same company with the same form factor that I forgot about that I could have taken an F key from.
I am dumb.
I keyboard lefthanded (odd since I’m a rightie, but a throwback from original DOOM) and my arrow keys are all faded to nothing and literally worn down in the center with fingernail impressions. We’re damned rough on our keyboards, it’s a surprise they don’t fall apart quicker. Also why I refuse to spend $200+ on a ‘gaming keyboard’ with all sorts of bells and whistles that I’m just going to destroy anyway. XD
Agreed. Having keys stuck and not responsive isn’t fun, and we do indeed put a lot of stress on keyboards. After all, opening pickle jars and the like means stronger fingers, and thus more stress on the keys. Luckily, my current keyboard has lasted me about 7 or so years, but the resting position of the WASD and E keys rest noticeably lower than the rest of them.
