Mecha

I’ve been using mechanical keyboards again for about three years now, after having used them in the 80s and early 90s (that’s all there was then).

They are faster, more efficient and less tiring. They are a completely better typing experience. Far superior in every way.

This article covers the basics fairly well.

The browns are quieter than the article makes them out to be, though. They keyboard they’re in matters, too — I have two keyboards with brown switches and one is quite a bit quieter than the other.

I haven’t done any formal measurements other than a few probably-inaccurate typing tests, but my typing speed I’d estimate is 20-30% faster with a mechanical keyboard with probably 50% fewer typos.

Recommended in every way.
