      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.

    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.

    Are you saying there is a lack of D on today’s games?
