minus-square@Jimmycakes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink-6•11 months agoThey can just go back to dome keyboard that don’t make any sounds. Mechanical keyboard hype is overblown.
minus-squaredelcakelinkfedilink6•11 months agoThe article addresses exactly this suggestion. Remember, the attack model proved highly effective even against a very silent keyboard, so adding sound dampeners on mechanical keyboards or switching to membrane-based keyboards is unlikely to help.
minus-square@InfiniteStruggle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•11 months agoWhat about a touchscreen keyboard? The layout wouldn’t have to change, and there needn’t be any sounds at all. I know it’s shitty but for high security purposes like on a bank terminal or something, shitty but secure trumps nice but insecure, right?
minus-squareAltolinkfedilink5•11 months agoMight be for you, but for whatever reason my brain really, really hates the tactile feel of rubber domes. I’ve also always had strong issues with certain textures/tactile feels in general
minus-square@ludwig@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•11 months agoYeah, rubber domes suck. They are way too mushy. I hate how the actuation force changes a lot during a key press.

Ai has gone too far!
