I find it would be nice to be able to tab , backspace and arrow key a bit faster. Not sure how much a mechanical keyboard would help there though.
While I agree in principle with planning, I often find that it's easier for me to write and refactor a bunch of times rather than try and get it perfect first time. So being able to type faster would give me slightly less friction per refactor.
- quaunaut 14y agoPossibly. It might just be a difference in approach- I figure out the right way the first time, then generally make small revisions afterwards for the sake of performance. You would be able to do those things faster- but when I say that the difference would be minimal, I don't know how to stress it enough. Professional Starcraft players frequently will tell you that until you're operating at above 150 actions per minute MINIMUM, you're not gonna get a damn thing out of a mechanical keyboard that you couldn't from some normal trashy piece. But, there's nothing wrong with splurging and getting yourself something nice if you just want the satisfaction. Admittedly, there is something just nice about using one. I think they totally end up justifying their cost for myself personally, in the same way that driving a nice car just makes you feel a little better. It isn't that it drives that much better(it does, just not by a huge margin), it isn't that the seats feel more comfortable(same), and it isn't that it looks nicer(often I think they don't). There's just something satisfying about hitting that level of luxury. But that doesn't make it entirely wise economically, or a requisite, whatsoever. It's just nice. And that's okay.
