Keyboard looks cool would buy it if it wasn’t mechanical

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 21 points 1 year ago

Ever tried a mechanical one? I would never go back.

[-] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I did and I switched back to the mx keys. The advntages doesn't justify the price increase for me and I prefer the aestethics of a smaller, sleeker keyboard on my desk.

But that's the beauty of a free market. We don't need "one size fits all" products, we all can have our preferred keyboards, whether that be a top-end mechanical keyboard or a low-profile traditional one :))

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Sure, I'm not judging, you know what's best for you. Just a bit surprised, that's all.

Idk, I guess I'm just not as sensitive as you guys _/(0.0)\_

But I do need my vertical mouse. That is where I feel a massive difference.

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

What is a vertical mouse? Classic one?

[-] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

this is mine:

Nice, thanks.

How... Wait.... You like rubber domes more? Why?

[-] Igilq@szmer.info 1 points 1 year ago

Because they are silent and don't annoy me with clicking sound

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 15 points 1 year ago

There are mech kbs that are silent and not clicky, btw

[-] cptdi5a5ter@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

The whole point of the bequiet keyboards and mice is to be quiet. You should try them!

[-] RidderSport@feddit.org 4 points 1 year ago

I've watched a review on these and frankly speaking, these are as silent as non-mechanical ones

[-] Don_alForno@feddit.org 1 points 1 year ago

Then pick non-clicky switches, like cherry reds or browns.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 7 points 1 year ago

Huh? If you don't like how clicky it is, you can find other switches there are hundreds of them all with different feels some of them silent....

[-] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

While what you said is true we need to understand tht paying more money for a mechanical keyboard to then have to modify it is very unattractive to the vast majority of customers (including me, and I use Linux).

[-] Don_alForno@feddit.org 1 points 1 year ago

What are you talking about? You can get one with your preferred switches ootb.
