The aid that they offer to typing is that they don't actuate only when you bottom out so your fingers can more accurately determine when they have pressed a key, and you don't have to press the keys down so much. It is definitely noticeable in comparison to many rubber dome keyboards, IME, but to each their own. It is less noticeable on laptop keyboards as the travel distance is so low anyway.
* lots of mechanical keybards are awful though
- sosborn 8y ago> your fingers can more accurately determine when they have pressed a key In my own, singular/personal experience, this has never been a problem for me, even with the much maligned MBP keyboard. When the key stops traveling, you have pressed the key. Not discounting anyone who doesn't have the same experience - just offering my own.
- magduf 8y agoYou're missing the point. The whole point of a mechanical keyboard is that you don't press the key all the way down; you stop when it clicks. This is good for RSI because your finger doesn't abruptly decelerate because of mechanical bottoming-out.
