When people get nerdy about clickiness, I always worry that they're optimizing for the wrong thing. Maybe getting this tactile feedback right does allow people to type faster, but how does it interact with RSI?
For me, small, fast movements seem to be a bigger problem than larger, slower ones. Long key throws might slow me down, but they do seem to be easier on my wrists.
- phaedrus 18y agoThe clicky keyboards just feel right. Really though the issue is that soft keyboards were chosen only for lower manufacturing cost - we nerds saw something that was really good (clicky keyboards) go away and get replaced with utter crap to the point that you can't even buy a good keyboard anymore in most stores. That's the real issue - that solidly manufactured stuff got replaced by crap - that has people so touchy about the issue.
