I Finally Bought in to the Mechanical Keyboard Craze
There’s NO going back now
I said I wouldn’t do it. I said they’re a gimmick. I said they’re overpriced. And maybe all that’s still true.
My coworkers, of course, swear by them. I’ve heard for yers how much more comfortable they are to type on.
But after buying one and using it for a bit, wow. I have some thoughts. Especially as someone who types all day everyday.
For most of my life, I’ve used your standard, typical scissor switch style keyboard. Most recently, the Logitech MX Keys Mini. The MX Keys is nice, but this?
I didn’t expect this.
Picking out my first keyboard
Every time I go to Micro Center, I’m always drawn toward the keyboards. I’ve always loved all the cool options. You have huge, brightly colored keyboards, and you have tiny, simple, plastic keyboards. Something for just about everyone and his brother.
Just about every time, I’d walk past that section, I’d have to stop and try out a couple of keyboards just to see what I could see. Never actually buying one. I mean, they’re cool, but they’re very expensive. Many well over $100. Ouch.
