I don't understand this attitude. The keyboard is the arguably the most important piece of hardware you will ever use as a computer programmer; and they're not by any means interchangeable. You owe it to yourself as a professional to use professional tools -- do the research, try as many different styles as possible, never stop attempting to do better.

This is like saying a web developer needs the newest i7 processor because it "just makes you better". Except even that is more valid than the keyboard argument. If you want nice tools that's fine. I've got nothing against it, and I plan on buying many more mechanical keyboards in my life. But a keyboard doesn't change how you code, it doesn't change the real speed of your coding. It might change your satisfaction level during the day if you get caught up in that, but frankly, if you're typing so much that you need the extra precision of a mechanical keyboard to save time, you need to do something about your boilerplate code.
