In that case, yes it comes out zs on my keyboard. I'll disagree on the doing it right part though, seems like a user error. | ||

There is a distinct separation in the time we press S and the time we press Z, the issue is that it's so close together the keyboard fucks up and reverses the input. | ||

That's because your point of reference is a membrane-based keyboard. If you've tried mechanical keys that make a click sound when they actuate you'll be able to tell the difference. (Try cherry mx blue switches). | ||

I've been using the same Cherry G80 - 3000 and it is absolutely amazing. Heavily recommend to anyone who's as anal as me about having the perfect keyboard and freaks out if they play on a different one. | ||

I experimented with an oldschool mechanical keyboard, and it just didn't do the trick. I can play faster with "softer" keys, simply because you don't need to press them as hard. Maybe 5 years ago these were the best, but nowadays you can find extremely responsive and gaming-grade keyboards easily online. You do know that different "oldschool mechanical" keyboards use different switches right? You're using the wrong switches for playing tetris. http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Mechanical Switch Keyboards Sorted By Switch I have not found any membrane based keyboard that requires less force than my board with cherry MX browns (45 grams). There are switches that are even lighter than this. Nowadays, it is much cheaper to make keyboards based on membrane switches and people have forgotten what a good keyboard feels like. "Gaming-grade" keyboards (with the exception of the SteelSeries 7G with linear black cherries) are all marketed with gimmicky stuff like back lighting and macro buttons and mechanical keyboards (which were standard decades ago) are now made as niche products. It's a shame, really. | ||

I have an MX Brown Filco at home. Having to use this rubbish Logitech membrane keyboard while I am overseas makes me realise how great mechanical keyboards really are and I miss mine dearly | ||

No complaints about ABS M1 so far, and the clicking noise in an empty room is actually pretty rhythmic and not annoying at all, it helps me get work done  | ||

Unlike most keyboards which can be bought at barracks, these are only available once you have built a factory with attached tech lab. It is here that you can research durability and tactile feel. I totally understood this more than the other responces. | ||
