Not just that, I think that having vastly-different keyboards at home vs. at work increases keyboarding errors in at least one of those locations. I have a Model M at home, but an Apple keyboard (I think a model A1243) at work. I'm working on ordering a WASD keyboard with Cherry MX Clear switches, in an attempt to get things more similar (the office environment I'm in doesn't work with the noisy Model M).
- MisterOctober 8y agoI've used Model Ms / unicomps extensively and like them plenty, but I switched to Cherry in part because they're a little quieter without sacrificing too much feedback. I routinely work late into the night at home without disturbing the family [much!].
- gh02t 8y agoEh, you get used to it. I swap between a Kinesis Advantage, a compact with Reds, and a laptop keyboard, which are all about as different as possible and my typing speed and accuracy is about the same on all three. I actually score slightly higher for typing speed on the crappy laptop keyboard from doing speed tests. Comfort is a completely different story though and I vastly prefer typing on the Kinesis. Being the most comfortable for the task is important when it comes to avoiding RSI.
- ghaff 8y agoI used to be pretty hardcore about having the right mechanical keyboard everywhere. But now I work a lot of the time on a variety of laptop keyboards as well as the mechanical keyboard on my iMac and I pretty much make do. like my mechanical keyboard but even when I'm working from home (i.e. much of the time), I end up working on my laptop in a variety of locations around the house.
