I haven't used a rubber dome in a while since I'm owning a Ducky Shine since almost a year. I love the Ducky, the stable keys, the way they travel and depress and the overall feel, but I noticed, in the beginning already, how double tapping is much worse to do than it ever was with my previous rubber domes, also when typing fast I do a horrible lots of mistypes and double letters (double tapping) became a problem.
Maybe it's just me or the red switches aren't for me, but I typed on a robber dome lately somewhere. It was a rather cheap one and some keys felt lighter than others and I have to say I totally love the feel of these lighter, soft and silent rubber domes. While they are soft and somewhat mushy, the typical rubber dome depress, when the rubber bends and you clearly feel the actuation, made double tapping quite clear and typing was kind of nice for me. Especially because I play Unreal and Unreal Tournament '99 still, the double tapping always sucked on the Ducky.
Ok, the above text is rather uninteresting, my question is basically, are there quality gaming rubber domes you'd suggest?
Things I'd like to have:
- backlit is a must (would love it if you could change the color)
- middle-size keys (no idea whats the correct way to call them, but what I mean are the keys that aren't as flat as the notebook keys and aren't as tall as the classical old keys)
- quality (consistent feel, less shacky keys, overall well built)
- simple/minimalistic design (not one of these giant sci-fi gamer boards with tons of keys and over the top shapes. I demand a simple black and flat rectangle case, similar to the Ducky Shine)
- media keys (don't really need macros, but an additional row of separate media keys abover the F1-F12 would be good, am really tired of the key combo on the Ducky Shine, volume is most used and the only one unreachable with one hand
but also activating the lights each time you boot/wake up the PC is really annoying).
Wonder if there's such a thing out there.
