A couples of weeks ago after the said few years of absence. I decided to have a peek at GH to see how it ...

Aesco A83 - KVM not registering double taps CTRL

I just got an Aesco A83, I installed A-HUB to upgrade the firmware to the latest version (1.6 something) and calibrate the keyboard.

The keyboard is connected to a KVM. The KVM make use of double taps to switch from one device to another.

Unfortunately, the KVM do not detect the double taps done ...

Any love for the Aesco A67/A83 Electric Induction switches?

I thought I was done with buying keyboards. I've been sober for many years. Even stop spending time on GH and DH. :-) Until I came across these Aesco A67/A83 with Electric Induction switches.

I received mine yesterday. The feel of these linear switches is impressive. Hard to compare them with ...

I wouldn't qualify Buckling Springs as mushy... But they are on the heavy and loud side.

Now I'm curious to know what the good ones are like with caps removed ;-) Weird that the sound with the keycap on is the same as with it off when there is no click. Also interesting how much sound you are getting from a dead switch, since with the cap removed it's almost as loud as my working ...

The video is completely misleading — keycaps affect the click sound . If I pull a keycap on my Filco, the click sound is reduced greatly, exactly as your video depicts for the switch with the keycap removed.

If I remove a keycap from my MX blue Filco, I get the exact same sound as your clearly ...

If the switch is tactile but not clicky, it's because the slider it not making it to the end of it's movement. Stopping just short completely silences the click. Slowing down before the end muffles it. It's actually quite delicate and I am not surprised at all that the quality is all over the place ...

Well - I just wanted to show the switch under the key.

With or without the keycap really didn't make any difference since that (V) key is not clicking.

If your new MX Blue does similar erratic and poorly defined clicks. Then Vote "some keys not clicking"

As the video is showing - when these ...
