My god, unplug the USB or just turn off the keyboard. Simple.
I bought an expensive mechanical keyboard. It is the bane of my existence.
Oversensitive little princess that needs its precious little keycaps polished every other week to stop it from double tapping itself, and when that doesn’t work you have to program it not to hiccup, and yet it still does.
Never used to have this problem with the cheap plastic ones I used to buy.
Dont buy into the mechanical keyboard fad. It’s a scam for idiots like myself who think pretty LEDs will solve their nonexistent problems.
I have a mechanical keyboard and have double click issues. I just kinda press down the keys really hard until they stop double clicking…
Is there a software solution for this? Like something that prevents double clicking by filtering keyboard inputs? for Wayland, on Linux?
I’ve owned many boards and have never heard of such issues. That sounds like a really cheap one, or inexperienced company.
I’ve never had issues with many switches between Cherry, Kailh, Gateron, etc
A lot of the better brands include LEDs too. It’s just another checkbox on the product comparison sheet. Not like you can’t shut em off anyway
Your mistakes was buying for the leds and not the switches. I have one with mx cherry blues, it is built like a tank.
I have a mechanical keeb and cleaned it once in the last year I think you purchased a PoS
What keyboard did you get?
I would steer clear of gaming mechanicals now but I’ve switched to Keychron and I love it.
You’re supposed to clean your keyboard?
I bought one with lights and it’s a glorious display case for my collection of dead skin, crumbs and stray pubes.
How are your pubes getting near your k–
wait, no I don’t want the answer to that question.
Luckily, my Keyboard is so dirty that I need to pull off all keycaps anyway.
Just try to clean the keyboard on a MacBook, though. If you shut it down, it will start back up again as soon as you start pressing keys 😅
You’re supposed to take it to the Apple store, where they will charge you $800 to “clean” the keyboard, by replacing and throwing away half the computer. This is the correct user experience. /s
Apple hates making functional serviceable machines anymore.
Esterline make specialised keyboards that are specifically for sterile environments which have this feature. You press a button, the keys are ignored and you can wipe the keyboard down.
Sounds like a mouthwash company
Cybertruck is far ahead
There were two HDMI ports. (I selected the correct one)
Why would you be pressing down on the keys anyway? Just remove the caps so you can ACTUALLY clean the keyboard.
Birds love a deep clean!
Everyone has a reason here why this isn’t necessary, but frankly it’s just not a dumb idea and especially relevant for shared workplace workstations. I’d rather have a disable for cleaning button than a windows button.
I don’t mind the windows button. It’s effectively a quick way to a run command.
Draw an S on there and bam! you have a Super button.
What’s a Super button you ask? It’s the S in S-M-butterfly. Or in other words: it’s an extra modifier key.
Unplug it or turn it off if it’s wireless. Not that hard.
What is “unplug”? /j
It’s what happens when you trip over the lamp’s power cord, except for a keyboard.
Just lock the screen. The worst that’ll happen is a failed login or switching the keyboard layout or something.
Windows-L is the hotkey (in Windows at least), for those who maybe didn’t know.
And in GNOME. In KDE, it’s Ctrl+Alt+L. In macOS, it’s Cmd+Ctrl+Q.
My KDE (both 5 and 6, just checked) also uses Meta+L, by default. On my KDE 5 Ctrl+Alt+L appears as custom but I don’t remember adding it, maybe they inverted the two.
Just open up notepad, start cleaning, and then use the resulting document as a word finder puzzle. Hell, if you’re really lucky you might write the next best selling novel.
They told me it was already published by Shakespeare.
Wouldn’t recommend this. I mean, it was publishable, sure. But there were tons of spelling errors.
Bah! That’s what editors are for!
- Unplug keyboard or turn off bluetooth.
- Clean keyboard.
ok but get this: I have a laptop
Unplug the laptop. Clean keyboard.
Or rip it out and clean it.
Rip and Tear until it is done lol
Unplugging the keyboard requires getting down on my hands and knees, groping around to find a plug I can’t visually see, and probably dislocating my shoulder in the process.
And then even more luck required to get the plug I can’t see back IN, trying the USB every single way blind by feel only, and neither way wants to accept it’s the right one.
It’s an absolute last resort.
Its odd that keyboards don’t have USB on the back of them. Every other peripheral does it seems, but they usually come hard wired.
My keyboard has a detachable cable so you can just unplug it from the keyboard
In happy for you
You could also just unplug the keyboard
