i have a Unicomp ps2 keyboard that I've been using for about 25 years that seems to be nearing the end of its service life. it gave me a scare a few years back so i bought a cherry mx board as a backup but the thing gave me doublestrikes all the time so that's not a long-term solution for my next iteration. considering going for another unicomp since i like the chonkyness of it. i always think about a keyboard i encountered back in the 90s that had a special MACRO section onboard, and the old SIIG ALPS keyswitch keyboards. anyone used one of those new-fangled optical keyswitch boards?

Yeah I’ve had the same problem with mine. Luckily it’s just unplug and plug back in to fix it, but still kinda annoying. Otherwise those are great keyboards (the spacesaver.) These days the prices for real model M’s have gone down a bit it seems like so that might be an option as well.

how often are you getting that annoying problem?

[-] cognitivegears 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe like once a month or so… doesn’t seem to be enough to get rid of the keyboard but often enough it’s a bit of an annoyance.
