Really? That’s surprising. Are you just indifferent about the clickiness?

I definitely aren’t as fanatical about them as most people, I don’t mind using non mech keys. But I definitely prefer using a nice mech keyboard when I have the option.

What kind of mechanical keyboard?

Sure, my razor one is kinda crappy, but I’ve used a very nice one at a friend who did the build your own thing.

Keychron is pretty good for entry level. I highly recommend the C2 Pro with brown switches for office work

That’s a matter of taste. I like them slim and quiet.

You know you can get quiter mech keyboards? Also sometimes people put O rings on the stem of the key to dampen the sound. I don’t think there are any slim mech keyboards- though there are nice small 50%, 60%, 65% and 70% keyboards

Edit: here’s what a 50% keyboard looks like, pretty cute right?

There’s one of the Cherry DW 9500 i have now, with their new slim switches and for two times the price. But i was satisfied with this one and it’s not worth the effort for me with dampening.

Do I need a mechanical keyboard if my typing speed is around 60 wpm? I don’t type fast, which is why I never saw the appeal of mechanical keyboards

Well a mechanical keyboard could help you type a little faster actually. I think the primary appeal of them is that they feel nice to type on though. Another reason people buy them is because they’re good for playing games competitively such as CS:GO.

Thanks. I was looking at this boring looking keyboard (a look which I personally like, I’m ashamed to say): https://www.amazon.com/Perixx-PERIBOARD-428-Mechanical-Keyboard-Backlighting/dp/B08F3V93KS

I like low profile keyboards, and don’t like the sharp noise from blue switches. This seems OK. What do you think?
