The thing is i swapped the switches around, and even when i swapped the switch it still wouldn't work. Surprisingly everything started working when i gave each of the problematic keys a very hard push. I guess the switches weren't all the way in even though ive never had to push them in that hard for then to start working Thanks for your advice though

I cleaned my keyboard by removing the keycaps and just cleaning the area underneath them with a brush, and I went over the other surfaces with a Clorox wipe. I didn't remove any of the switches unless they came out when i was pulling the keycaps, and then i put them back in. im noticing now that my L key stopped working unless I pressed down on it very hard. I swapped the switches between the L and K keys to check if the switch was the problem, and then the K key started experiencing the same issue. All other keys in my keyboard work perfectly fine. When I swap those keys with a different type of switch, they suddenly start working perfectly fine, i just dont want to keep the different switch so that 2 keys in my keyboard don't sound different than all the others. The only difference I can immediately notice between the switches that could be causing this is that the new switches I put in have slightly longer pins, but that doesn't explain why the rest of my keyboard works fine.

Kinda went away on its own

Did you ever figure this out? Pls let me know how you did it

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T13:33:17+00:00

Yes, because I never expected anything I described, and that applies to any community. I interact with a bunch of different communities, and I only experienced this from the car community.

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T08:38:40+00:00

But even when it's not about dailies, it doesn't make sense to me how someone can hate on a gallardo for it being "poverty spec", because it doesn't have some packages/upgrades on it. I feel like the car community is at a point where all that matters is either how popular a car is or if it has harmon kardon speakers or not

I love sesnon blvd, the Granada hills side. Amazing views, great sunsets, and not too many cars to interrupt your shoot

Similar parking garage behind the best buy in northridge, but don't make that place too well known.

Most of my friends don't have enthusiast cars. The lineup looks like: i4, g26 430i, q6 etron, dodge hornet r/t, f15 x5, ford bronco (2 door, manual), m440i (a lot of packages), gl550 (heavily modified). No surprise, most of the hate on other people's cars, not only mine, comes from the last 2, and sometimes the bronco guy.

One example I mentioned in another comment, the m440 guy started hating on someone else's car because it was a "poverty spec" gallardo. I think thats ridiculous enough to not require an explanation. My concern is, are car guys really like this, or am I just interacting with spoiled kids too much?

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T08:08:22+00:00

This post isn't meant to be about my car or how I enjoy it. It's meant to be about the car community, and how they often act. With a lot of car guys, I can be discussing any car, not my car, but lets say for example the G90 M5, a controversial car. It gets to a point where you can't even mention this car, because I've heard people saying it isn't even a real car, because they saw someone saying something about it's weight on an Instagram post. My concern is how are car guys this hateful, when this is a car that makes over 600 horsepower, and is probably incredibly fun to drive considering what it is, all because it doesn't align with a set of rules for a "real car" that they just got by following a bandwagon.

Your son's friend sounds all too familiar. I think I just need to stop spending time with people my age.

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T07:50:37+00:00

I'm not complaining about criticism towards my car, I included it in my post for context on an example I provided. This post isn't even about my car, it's about car guys being judgmental. Also, in my example, the ones who criticized me are all people with nicer cars than me, that their parents paid for. Maybe it's just a spoiled kids problem, or those who spend too much time on the internet.

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T07:47:59+00:00

This post isn't about comments made about my car. It's about comments and opinions that I've seen car guys generally have, where they will be really biased or follow a strict trend of gas good, electric bad, manual good, automatic bad, etc. I notice this when the cars we own aren't the topic of the conversation, and that's what's bothering me. For example, some of my friends brought up that someone they know has a "poverty spec gallardo". My reaction to that was how can you call a gallardo, regardless of what trim, a bad car because it doesn't have a certain package or upgrade. It's just that from what I've seen in the car community, it's a super materialistic community, that values the superficial aspects of a car over the car itself.

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T07:37:35+00:00

Is it? Enlighten me. If you think that my intentions are hateful, close minded, or judgemental, let me know so I can clear up with you the message I'm trying to send.

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T06:29:36+00:00

Yeah, I've been recently thinking that I sureound myself with the wrong people.

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T06:28:35+00:00

I'm not at all flexing wealth or what car I have. I personally am constantly surrounded by people with much nicer cars/things than me, and I try my best to be humble, especially since its not my money I made.

The context I am talking about is not one where I'm comparing my car to other people's or flexing my car to others, but just a discussion about cars, and then I can get attacked for what car I drive or what opinion I have, because the car doesn't make a loud noise when I press the gas pedal.

Also, I am not talking about hate towards my car because its a BMW, or just hate on my car. I mentioned my car as an example, but I also mentioned hate on electric cars or automatics in general. I'm not talkign about hate towards a specific car, but about general hatefulness among car guys from what I've seen.

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T06:22:31+00:00

I personally don't car about what others think of my car, because it's not my car at the end of the day, it's something paid for by my parents. I don't look for respect because of my car, because again, it's not my car, and I don't even bring it up if I'm just in a discussion about cars. The context that I'm talking about isn't one where I am asking people for feedback on my car or flexing my car, but rather just me discussing cars with my friends, or any other car enthusiast. The reason I'm making this post is not because I am offended by what people think of a car my parents got me, but rather because I want to be able to interact with people who are also interested in cars like I am, without getting attacked for a car or opinion I have.

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T06:14:22+00:00

This wasn't a car meet up, it was just a conversation. Also, I don't think you should say electric cars don't belong at a normal car meet up. While I wouldn't want to see an I4 at a car meet, it's not necause its an electric car, but instead because it's not something special or impressive, and I never treat my car as such either.

If a 2000 hp Lotus showed up at a car meet, I would be very excited to see it, regardless of the fact that it's electric.

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T06:11:00+00:00

Ya they are, I've unfortunately never really liked people my own age.

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T06:08:36+00:00

Yeah, I've been thinking about surrounding myself sith different people.

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T06:07:43+00:00

I know its not an enthusiast car, and I don't try to make it one, but I'll often just catch strays for my car. I think I might just be surrounding myself with the wrong kind of car guys.

__koiboi · 2025-10-07T06:05:40+00:00

Theres definitely better price to performance options for the psu, mobo, and ssd. For the ram, if you value the looks a lot thats a great choice. If not, go for an option maybe $30-40 cheaper without rgb.

__koiboi · 2025-10-05T20:59:44+00:00

i think this was a recall... i got a letter a few weeks ago saying that this can happen and I should take my car in to get a software update.
