I admire the dedication of some keyboard enthusiasts, but I cannot share their passion for customizing every single switch. I enjoy a good keyboard, with a satisfying mechanical feel, a colourful LED display, and a sturdy base. But spending hours disassembling and lubricating each switch to achieve the perfect sound? That is beyond my level of patience and interest. I can appreciate the difference in sound quality, and I can tell when a keyboard has been fine-tuned. But I would rather use my time for other things.
Keyboard nerdom and tuning is an art form, just not the art form for me. :) #keyboard
@gpowerf And here I am with a default Dell keyboard. The mechanical ones are way too high for me, physically. I own one and I hate it. ;)
@trinsec I know what you mean, I had to readapt to mechanical after only using laptops.
The two extremes can be bad, Apple used to do some super short travel ones that were just unusable. I returned one of those MacBook Pros with super short keyboard travel because frankly, I could not use the thing!
@gpowerf If there's mechanical keyboards that's very flat, and affordable, I might want to take a peek at it. Don't know of any though.
But yeah, I like keyboards with flat-ish keys. I can type on a laptop just fine (provided they're normal sized keyboards, probably tenkeyless but that doesn't matter).
I don't like the Apple style flat keys though, where the keys are definitely seperated from each other and the keys are 100% flat. I like the keyboards where the keys still touch each other but have a slanting bevel on the edges.
