Even worse, it didn't use Cherry red switches, and it looked like crap. Where were the bright red LEDs, macro shortcut buttons, and elaborate wrist-rest?!

- Aardwolf 14y agoCherry red, the linear ones? Why not Cherry brown or blue?
- koralatov 14y agoReds appear to be preferred by the hardcore gamers that buy those monstrous gaming keyboards. I think it's because they're lighter, and also because they're linear.

- Symmetry 14y agoRight. Reds are linear better if you're going to be pressing keys and holding them down, as for moving in an FPS. But Browns, are better if you want a single keypress event registered, as for using the keyboard to type.
- jlgreco 14y agoBlues make great "area denial weapons" to keep people out of your office. Typing on cherry blues sounds like someone typing on a regular keyboard very angrily. ;)
- mwill 14y agoI honestly can't tell if this is a legitimate conversation or a parody! : P But seriously, I spent the longest time assuming that the talk about better keyboard were exaggerations or placebo effect deals, until I started using the MBP keyboard, which just felt significantly better than anything I'd used before, sort of satisfying. So I've got an open mind now, and am planning on hand-me-downing my apple wireless to a friend in need. Does anyone have a specific recommendation for a keyboard for programming that might be a decent replacement?
