Changing Keyboard Feels Weird

[PiberiusWilde]

I just recently bought myself a Velocifire TKL02WS

 

And I got to say using a proper keyboard after a year of using only my laptop keyboard, okay there's the occasional desktop keyboard but still. Feels kinda weird y'know.

 

Like being really used to just flat and short travel keys changing to a keyboard that actually goes down. I'm just like "Why the letters aren't showin' up???" the most difference to me is the arrow keys placement. Where's on a laptop the arrow keys are near the right shift key now they are beside the shift key and I still till now mistaken pressing the arrow keys bellow the shift key

 

I guessed it gonna took a few days for me to be familiar with this keyboard and not always miss-pressed the arrow keys

I never have trouble switching keyboards generally, but for me switching a mouse is impossible. I've used a razer deathadder for 10 years now and everytime I grab another mouse it feels horrible compared to what I am used too.

Muscle “memory” is the cause.

If that keyboard would have MX Browns, you don't need to push key down. The actuation point is half-way. Travel distance is still bit longer, but the tactile feedback is way better.

 

I had talk with my mom who likes low-profile style keyboards. She tried to offer me one for spare. I said no. I already asked her to bring me high-profile membrane one for spare. Using that, and pretty much any keyboard at work where I have to type a lot feels so much worse.
