Do you read code while sitting on your hands? Or do you perhaps print out code before reading it?
When I read code, it's not a passive activity. I'm navigating and searching. Sometimes I bring up external documentation. In short, I'm interacting with my computer. For me, reading code requires typing.

If you spend as much time navigating as reading or analysing you have an organization problem. > In short, I'm interacting with my computer. For me, reading code requires typing. I can concede that when debugging one must press keys to make the ide progress through code however I find spending $100 to comfortably press a key every few seconds wasteful. Managers, on the other hand, might benefit of good keyboards if they spend most of their time writing emails back to back.
