The greatest attraction of MX is that the selection of keycaps (pimpmykeyboard PBT keys are awesome) and compatible clones. The biggest drawback is that it's a pretty big and tall key. I hope ML becomes more popular as an alternative.
- metaphor 8y agoAgreed. It always baffled me that for all the prosumer Cherry MX keyboard options on the market, they all top off with the same style key caps as if injection mold engineering was a lost art. Something like the utilitarian ergonomics of a Logitech K270 coupled with Cherry ML switches would be a dream.
- Lanrei 8y agoHaven't you heard about the new low-profile cherry MX switches? Also Kailh choc switches are much better than Cherry ML.
- FullyFunctional 8y agoI appreciate the pointer(s), but lack of good keycaps is a major demotivator for me; I find the key cap almost as important as the switch (SA "Ice Cap" in PBT is therapy for my fingers). EDIT: wording
- Lanrei 8y agoI have Ice Caps - they sure are warped. Personally I'm looking forward to KAT profile, as well as MDA (with readable the legends) and MT3. I would expect you to be interested in DSS and the new SA-P from SP.
- CarVac 8y agoKailh low profile switches are getting decently popular, and they even offer clicky ones. They're not MX mount compatible though. Cherry also has new low profile MX mount switches too. But all of these sacrifice travel.
