I also have a unicomp, which I love, a Das Keyboard at work, and a Code keyboard at home. I have no idea about the different switches - how can you tell without buying them all? But yeah, the code keyboard is amazing, I just wish it had the USB hub like the Das does.
- veidr 12y agoAFAIK the Code keyboard only offers Cherry MX switches in Green or Clear. I bought one of each. The Clear is quieter, so I use that one at work, but it doesn't feel as good to me.
- tomsthumb 12y agoClears are 15cN lighter touch and a different switch style. Greens are basically heavy blues. It sounds like you type heavy. http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_MX http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_MX http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/an-introduction-to-cherry-mx-mechanical-switches/ http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/an-introduc...
- veidr 12y agoWell, I have noticed that I definitely do bang harder on the keyboard depending on my excitement level.( That could mean I am having an inspired moment of coding, or just that somebody has once again posted to HN about the technological superiority of the modern Japanese toilet[1].) In comparing the two Code keyboards, what I prefer about the Green version is that there seems to be this one exact point where the key is pressed. You can feel it (and hear it) and it is always the same. The clear version feels a bit 'mushier', like the point at which the key is 'pressed' isn't as precisely defined.
