Why would you be pressing down on the keys anyway? Just remove the caps so you can ACTUALLY clean the keyboard.

Birds love a deep clean!
This might just be my keyboard specifically, but I broke some of the caps doing this and had to special-order replace them.

the kb is almost always usb or wireless these days. just disconnect it or flip its own switch
They should add an MP3 player style "Hold switch" on all keyboards

I bought an expensive mechanical keyboard. It is the bane of my existence.
Oversensitive little princess that needs its precious little keycaps polished every other week to stop it from double tapping itself, and when that doesn't work you have to program it not to hiccup, and yet it still does.
Never used to have this problem with the cheap plastic ones I used to buy.
Dont buy into the mechanical keyboard fad. It's a scam for idiots like myself who think pretty LEDs will solve their nonexistent problems.
Your mistakes was buying for the leds and not the switches. I have one with mx cherry blues, it is built like a tank.
I got banana switches. Gutter shite.
I have a mechanical keyboard and have double click issues. I just kinda press down the keys really hard until they stop double clicking...
Is there a software solution for this? Like something that prevents double clicking by filtering keyboard inputs? ^for^ ^Wayland,^ ^on^ ^Linux?^
