I went through the cherries and never found one I liked remotely as much as the Model M, so to each their own.
Ironically the only thing I found that I liked as a replacement was the Apple keyboard, and that couldn’t be more different.
- chrismorgan 8y ago(I assure you, it could be much more different. Ever tried a rubber keyboard? Not rubber dome, rubber. Flexible keyboards, roll ’em up and take ’em with you—or toss ’em if you prefer, they were awful to type on. I haven’t got the foggiest idea why they were a thing for a couple of years about thirteen years ago. My school got a bunch of them for a year or so. Or touch keyboards, they’re also much more differenter than Apple keyboards!)
- jghn 8y agoGood point, I admit I was being facetious. An even further one would be one of those "keyboards" which project a keyboard image on a table! I can tell you why I like the Apple keyboards, including the newer butterfly ones. As much as I loved the Model M i never used it correctly as I always bottomed out the keys instead of relying on the tactile feedback to know when to stop. As a result what I really want to feel is the satisfying thunk at the bottom of every keystroke. Something about the travel distance and feel of those Apple keyboards is just close enough to comfortable that it became good enough.
