Yes! If one's typing "correctly" on a mechanical keyboard, they would hear/feel the click and very little clack -- otherwise they're jamming the keys down with more force than needed.
Of course, some people enjoy mechanical keyboards simply because they just like... jamming the keys down as hard as possible and hearing loud noises, I support? And we all do that sometimes, I guess. But... that is definitely not the point of those mechanical keys.
- DanBC 9y agoTo be fair it depends on the keyswitches used, and the keys you trained on. I learnt to type on real mechanical typewriters, where some considerable force was needed. It's taken some time to relearn gentler typing.
- mclehman 9y agoPersonally, I just keep scaling up the springs in my switches. Started standard, then went up to 85g, sitting at 180g with 250g switches waiting to be put into a board. No gentle typing required and I never bottom out strongly while typing.
