I tried various mech keyboards, and in the long run, I don't think they're any better than say Logitech k120 or Apple Wired keyboard. Actually, I love the Apple Wired keyboard, I wish there was a variant with non-Mac layout, or perhaps in dark color.
The biggest issue I have with mech keyboards is how tall they are. It instantly makes my wrists hurt because I haven't used such tall keyboards since the 90's. I prefer to lay my hands almost flat on the keyboard. Although I've been using a keyboard with low-profile Kailh switches lately and it's pretty nice to type on.
- cliftonk 8y agoi found a low-profile kalih switch keyboard and it's the first of around 10 mechanical keyboards that im not returning. https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switches-HV-KB390L/dp/B0722GG88M https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switch...
- megaman22 8y agoThe biggest thing for me is that a mechanical keyboard will usually be full sized and have the classic IBM layout. Non-mechanical keyboards are all over the place, with often undersized keys and weird nonstandard layouts, so it's really difficult for me to work on them with my sausage-finger hands.
- CarVac 8y agoLaying your hands flat is just asking for making your wrists hurt in the long term, no matter what board you do it on.
