Don’t pull out the Logitech G15’s keys

Filed under: Hardware — Tags: — admin @ 4:46 pm

You’d think that the Logitech G15, the greatest achievement in keyboard technology known to man, would react better to the common task of removing the keys to clean the coke I just snorted all over it (I’m talking about the drink; the G15 handles powder spills just fine). And yet, now the keys are sticking if they’re not pressed exactly in the middle.

It seems that the plastic hooks that keep the keys upright don’t take too well to bending, and now that I pried them out, the bent hooks let the keys play from side to side. So pressing the key slightly from the side will make it tilt and get stuck in its shaft, making it hard to press, and sometimes making it stick.

One of the greatest offenders is the left Ctrl key, which now makes it hell to copy and paste, and the F key, which now makes it hell to tell Logitech to go Fuck themselves for making me consider dropping a hundred bucks every time I want to clean my keyboard.
