minus-squareDefault Username@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·15 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-up0·15 days agoThat’s sadly common with SKCM Alps switches. You can clean them out, but it suuuucks to do a full keyboard of them.

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.
