Are mechanical keyboard people an evolutionary offshoot of dice goblins? They’re both drawn to the clickyclack at the heart of it.

I learned to type on a manual typewriter (quite a long time ago) . I’ve never been able to type on those membrane keyboard that only depress, like, a nanometer. Mechanical with a long keystroke all the way.

Gork OP ,

Membrane keyboards also just feel mushy. Add to that the general poor quality of most of them makes a very poor keyboard experience.

you know what I do like me some mechanical keyboards but I recently switched back to a run of the mill scissor switch keyboard because I think I like low profile keys more. Now I know there are some low profile mechanicals out there but I’m not sure I care enough to spend the money to get one. I think I’ll give this one a go for a while, maybe I’ll switch back later

AaronMaria ,

I couldn’t warm up with mechanical keyboards for that reason, even the low profile ones were way too much travel for my taste. Cherry has recently released mechanical scissor switches, but the keyboards with them are very expensive.

I’ll never forget my Logitech UltraX that served me for 8 years before getting it’s space bar support broken.

The second rule of mechanical keyboards is you don’t spend money to buy a mechanical keyboard. You spend more money to build a mechanical keyboard.

I started out with blue switches years ago and they were obnoxiously loud, so I switched to reds and used those for a long time. Though, I kinda got tired of them and decided to give the Keychron banana switches a try several months ago and I'm absolutely loving them. They have a light tactile feeling, but they're much quieter than Cherry browns. And a huge bonus is that Keychron keys are hotswappable, so if I get any bad keys or feel like switching to a new type, no having to deal with soldering to replace them.

The more tactile, the better I say. The clickity clack is just an added bonus.

Get one of the old school boards with solenoids in it to simulate a type writer. There isn’t a better feeling, or louder, typing experience.

Maybe that’s exactly why she loves them. Every thought about that?

I use box jades at work, and just ignore all the dirty looks.

I switched from an IBM M13 to a Tex Shinobi with box navy a few months ago. It is not as good as buckling spring, but good enough - and the more compact keyboard, full programmability and the better trackpoint make up for it.

I initially tried Cherry MX Blues, but they’re horrible. Never understood the Cherry hype in the 90s, and still don’t understand it now.

Gork OP ,

My wife made me get rid of my IBM Model M clone because it was making just a bit too much of a racket.

Could literally hear it from across the house.

IBM Model M clone

Want to try with an original?

Also, surprising you kept the wife, not the keyboard.

Apparently there are some Cherry MX sets from 30 years ago that are still working today. So I guess part of it is longevity, part nostalgia.

My m13 is from 1994, and I have non-trackpoint Model Ms going back to the late 80s, all working perfectly fine.

Did you use potato flour?

FinnFooted , to foodporn in My version of gluten free Latkes

If youre gluten free, I just made this cake and it was amazing. The only part that must stay consistent in proportion is the eggs, almond flour, and baking soda. I couldnt find almond flour, so i made some by grinding blanched almonds in a food processor (sliced almonds are usually blanched). After that, I actually added cocoa to make it a chocolate cake. It was a perfect cake texture.

klemptor , to foodporn in My version of gluten free Latkes

Go applesauce or go home.

(They look good!)
