I was so eager to view the fabled fax machine, and unfortunately I played this at full volume on my speakers in the office today... To atone for my carelessness I must now face hours of awkward silence sitting at my desk, reflecting on my mistake. |

Description
Keyboards are electro-mechanical devices used to interface with other devices known as personal computers which are used by humans to speed up computation. Therefore, keyboards are classified as human interface devices.
I encountered a possible defective key switch issue on my hand-assembled split keyboard. To kick off the debugging marathon, I did
sudo pacman -Syu
which then broke my laptop keyboard too. Therefore, I as a human(hopefully) am now currently unable to interface with my personal computer entirely.I resorted to shuffling up the switches on my split keyboard, during which I received a phone call. I made the wise decision of taking the call and ended up making the problem worse by forgetting which switch(es) were defective. I must now therefore replace the entire set and pray that this is not a PCB matrix issue; if so, then RIP me.
The key switch happened to conveniently belong to my
Ctrl
key, which is one of my most beloved keys given that I am an unfortunate Emacs doomer.Due to my keyboard-driven workflow, this is an urgent gating issue. It not only hinders my ability to review PRs, but it also affects my quality of life as I live out of Emacs. It also humbles me to remain with code and think twice before venturing into circuits.
To Reproduce
Expected behavior
My keyboard must stop not working so I can continue running into more bugs.
Screenshots
Additional context
This issue was created from my fax machine.
