Completely disagree. "Hunt and peck and mash the keys using their biceps"? Way to paint anyone with a different opinion as cavemen. ;-)
I used to be in your camp (started with the original Microswitch MIT-AI Lab keyboards decades ago, which are the best mechanical keyboards ever made, bar none), but I've become very fond of the thin Apple keyboards (and Apple laptop keyboard), which I find quite comfortable for fast typing.
The main thing is the short throw and light touch needed to produce letters with less finger movement and strain. (Just the opposite of what you posit with your biceps comment.)
- wyclif 16y agoI think you're reading too much into it, I wasn't using hyperbole and certainly wasn't painting hunt-and-peck people as cavemen (or women). I was just pointing out that touch typing uses less of the forearm and more finger movement.
