Anyone have experience with Gateron switches, specifically in regards to longevity? I've had an Anne Pro 2 with Gateron Reds for the last ~2 years (bought it used, though it appeared to be very well cared for) and have had multiple occasions where I sit at my computer in the morning, and a new switch starts acting up (occasionally chattering, but more recently, requiring a lot of force to actuate). Last week, it was right shift, and today it's H. I usually just tap the shit out of it 'til it starts behaving again, but my previous keyboard, an iKBC Poker 2 with Cherry Reds, never had these kinds of issues, and I used and abused that thing non-stop for several years straight, and would still be using and abusing it if the micro-USB port didn't rip clean off the PCB along with all it's pads. I never had any kind of issues with actuation or chattering on that board.

I think it might be right about time that I give repairing my Poker 2 another go. I would replace it with another Poker 2 if I could find one with MX Reds for a reasonable price, but I mostly see them with MX Browns (blech).

Colorful #keyboards make for better coding I think! This is my lovely #AnnePro 2 with Gateron Browns I connected up via Bluetooth to start banging out a new #python script.

This script will be a couple of firsts for me; first time using #pandas (I've intentionally dodged it for years), implementation of a #GUI with #PySimpleGUI, and generation and editing of #PowerPoint files.

Wish me plenty of luck and very few bugs!

Doing an edit for the first time with both my new camera and #kdenlive 19.04.2. New video on my #AnnePro coming soon. If I get it done tonight.

Last year I bought the #AnnePro for $90, flash forward the AnnePro2 is on Ebay for $45.

I... Might have to get the 2... For some reason.

Got my custom backlit #Gnome and Oops! keys from Max Keyboards.
