The problem with modern gaming

The problem with cheap keycaps.
Time for some double shots rather than printed on nonsense!
Saying this as someone deep into certain keyboard related rabbit holes, simply using a mechanical keyboard gets you like 40% of the actual improved typing and gaming experience, picking your preference from one of the handful of readily available switch types goes another 30%, and picking some non-horrific $20-$30 keycaps goes another 20%. The rest is diminishing returns and enjoying it as its own hobby. If you all you want is to move on from your nasty worn out pack-in keyboard, you could get a distinctive improvement for less than the cost of one new AAA game.
Def. I've had my daily keyboard 5 years with use of gaming and work. Key caps still look very decent and no fade.
INB4 somebody brags about their Model M.
(Letting my parents talk me into getting rid of my first computer and my similar Tandy buckling-spring keyboard still haunts me to this day.)
The $20 white pudding pbt keycap set I got years ago still looks perfect today. Keycaps have to be made insanely cheap to fade nowadays
Same here. I bought a set of PBT double shots nearly 9 years ago paid 32 bucks for them and they're still perfect.
Yup, I've had the same keyboard for 12 years and have probably close to 30-35k hours work/gaming on it. Keycaps are still absolutely fine
I'm wondering if different skin oil composition between different people plays a role as well
Dorito dust is very abrasive, as well.
Doritos taste like shit bro
You seem to be playing too many woke SJW left leaning games. That D looks almost pristine compared to the A.
That D is still virgin, nothing wrong with that.
But that A got used a lot.
I also try not to rub my D too much.
You but you like it in the A as much as op?
The anti-Zoolander problem. He does great with everything else but he can’t turn right.
NASCAR gamer.
This doesn't seem right...
They are just a true man of the left
Nobody wanted his d.
Take your upvote, damn it
Get a good mechanical keyboard and you don't have this problem. I use my keyboard 10 hours a day for work and games. And every several months I pull out every key and wash them.
Some multi hundred dollar keyboards (SteelSeries tkl pre 2023, hyperx core origins, etc.) still have the shitty keycaps, so more like get pbt double shot keycaps and you won't have this problem.
Got a mechanical keyboard with keys that are at least a full inch wide?
I'm surprised the computer can even tell what keys you're pressing
Each key sends a unique code to the operating system.
The fact that, much like a cheap RC car from the 80s, you only go forward, and backward-left?
Mechanical Keyboards let you switch out worn keys easy peasy.
That's just not right
Are you saying there is a lack of D on today's games?
