Tell me you are a psychopath without telling me you are a psychopath.

My wife LOVES her Kailh Box Navy switches but good lord she starts writing an email I need to leave the room lol.
29Maybe that's exactly why she loves them. Every thought about that?

Am I the only person who doesn't like that clickety clack sound of mechanical keyboards?
17Im fine with the sound but I largely prefer membrane keyboards to the touch. Low key travel, soft touch
2Nope, I don't like the sound either. I didn't like it on the model M on the IBM PS/2 either.
1I'm right there with you.

Are mechanical keyboard people an evolutionary offshoot of dice goblins? They're both drawn to the clickyclack at the heart of it.
9Better go with browns, same clicky feeling, less noise. I'm using red switches right now, but I like browns better.
8MX Clears.
3Team brown checking in ⌨️🤎
3Came to say the same. Thockety thock.
2Zeal Zilent v2 62g are like MX Browns but better.
Brown's tactile is a little too little for me. Wanted blue's tactile but with the silent of browns. So I went Zilents.
2I'm a green sadist. If my co-workers aren't complaining then my keyboard's not loud enough.

you know what I do like me some mechanical keyboards but I recently switched back to a run of the mill scissor switch keyboard because I think I like low profile keys more. Now I know there are some low profile mechanicals out there but I'm not sure I care enough to spend the money to get one. I think I'll give this one a go for a while, maybe I'll switch back later
7I couldn't warm up with mechanical keyboards for that reason, even the low profile ones were way too much travel for my taste. Cherry has recently released mechanical scissor switches, but the keyboards with them are very expensive.
3I'll never forget my Logitech UltraX that served me for 8 years before getting it's space bar support broken.
2The second rule of mechanical keyboards is you don't spend money to buy a mechanical keyboard. You spend more money to build a mechanical keyboard.

I use box jades at work, and just ignore all the dirty looks.
7I switched from an IBM M13 to a Tex Shinobi with box navy a few months ago. It is not as good as buckling spring, but good enough - and the more compact keyboard, full programmability and the better trackpoint make up for it.
I initially tried Cherry MX Blues, but they're horrible. Never understood the Cherry hype in the 90s, and still don't understand it now.
6Ayy, another Tex Shinobi user. Sweet.

I love box jades. The perfect click.

The more tactile, the better I say. The clickity clack is just an added bonus.

I started out with blue switches years ago and they were obnoxiously loud, so I switched to reds and used those for a long time. Though, I kinda got tired of them and decided to give the Keychron banana switches a try several months ago and I'm absolutely loving them. They have a light tactile feeling, but they're much quieter than Cherry browns. And a huge bonus is that Keychron keys are hotswappable, so if I get any bad keys or feel like switching to a new type, no having to deal with soldering to replace them.
7I love my model M
6I learned to type on a manual typewriter (quite a long time ago) . I've never been able to type on those membrane keyboard that only depress, like, a nanometer. Mechanical with a long keystroke all the way.
6Membrane keyboards also just feel mushy. Add to that the general poor quality of most of them makes a very poor keyboard experience.

Browns represent
1Cherry MX reds baby, been using them since they came with my Corsair k95 and absolutely love the feel
1Kailh box royals baby! Get the beefiest tactile feedback and avoid the high pitched noise.
1Browns FTW.
