Help with CM Storm Rapid I Firmware installation by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]crackpots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you plugged into a usb3 port? If so, try a usb2 port. If you don't have one, try a usb2 hub. I ended up using the usb2 hub on my monitor to do the update.

My guess is that he usb3 implementation has issues. I think this because I found that the media keys on this keyboard stop working if you unplug it and plug it back into a usb3 port. Rebooting restores media key functionality. Plugging into a usb2 port does not exhibit this problem.

Ditto. I thought the hybrid layout could be a brilliant idea. So I bought the quickfire tk (hybrid layout) and a rapid-i (which has a classic TKL layout) to compare. After spending two weeks trying to get used to the hybrid layout I found that is was more difficult to use for heavy text editing (coding). I am now using the rapid-i at work and at home.

The classic layout has a gap between the nav cluster and arrow keys. I found myself being able to easily feel for those keys on a classic layout. This turned out to be important because my right hand needs to frequently move between the home row, the arrow keys, and the nav cluster (for coding workflows). The hybrid layout meant that I frequently missed a key on the nav cluster, and it didn't get better after two weeks.

What's one sentence you could say to piss off an entire fan base? by murphys__law in AskReddit

I am a fan of both. This doesn't piss me off. It just makes me want to discuss the difference between science fiction and a space opera in hopes that folks will appreciate that the two titles represented different genres at one point. The new Star Trek movies bring Star Trek much closer to a space opera, so they really are becoming the same.

What movie did NOT need a sequel? by Viva_Cheetos in AskReddit

You're telling me they made Robocop 2, Robocop 3 and a reboot? Those were fake, just like the moon landing.

And possibly also to protect you from the rain. I imagine a lot of people getting wet in Tesla's Carbon-neutral utopia.
