Can anyone speak to the difference in key feel between using one of these and using one of the more traditional modern-day Model M clones (e.g. Unicomp/http://pckeyboard.com http://pckeyboard.com)? I love the idea of getting a mechanical keyboard, but can't shake the feeling that the blank keys is just something of a gimmick.

- sethco 14y agoCherry MX Blue switches are similar in feel to the Model M style buckling spring switches but have I think a slightly shorter travel and require a little less force. Cherry MX Brown switches have a lighter touch and less of a click when the switch activates. Probably you need to try them out for a while to decide which keys work best for you. I used a Unicomp keyboard happily for a few years but am most comfortable with an MX Blue keyboard now.
