minus-squareDefault Username@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 days agoI have an Omnikey, but I never use it because the keys have stiction issues. I use my Dell AT-101 now after my Model F died.
minus-squarezod000@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·10 days agoThat’s sadly common with SKCM Alps switches. You can clean them out, but it suuuucks to do a full keyboard of them.
minus-squareDefault Username@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-29 days agoYeah. I also heard of waxing Alps switches to decrease stiction. Sucks, because otherwise, I think the switches feel really nice. Still, though, nothing beats a Model F, although I haven’t used a beamspring, so maybe one of those with a solenoid.
minus-squarezod000@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 days agoWhile I mostly agree with the Model F statement (I own four for a reason), I think that a clean set of SKCM Blue Alps are probably the next best clicky switch. I’d pick it over a Model M any day.
