it's utter horseshit as far as I'm concerned. some dumbass must have thought that this is the proper way to type since cherry switches actuate before bottoming out, and then keyboard autists starting parroting that for whatever reason ("I'm a better typist than you" ??). I've never seen anyone give any sort of explanation, and when trying to type that way myself I've found it to be really painful because my wrists tense up so much


BUT that being said I recently got a keyboard for work with MX browns and found that often I do sort of naturally end up typing without always bottoming out. my kb at home has MX blues. so idk it's weird whatever type however you fuckin' want I guess

speaking of that new keyboard...it's an iKBC KD87, has really nice laser etched PBT keycaps and now suddenly my quickfire rapid at home kinda feels/looks like poo poo and now I want a new board for home but I'm a little unsure what switches I want now and ohhhh gently caress here I go down the gross geekhack keyboard autism hole :(

i have a non-buckling spring model m lying around that actuates only if you bottom it hard

it is even louder than the model m and actually quite nice to type on

i just realised loose cherry mx switches (and 100 unit baggies of chinese mx knockoffs even more so) are really loving cheap for reasonable quality momentary switches

i will order a whole shoebox full of the things to use as pushbuttons in my random rear end electronics projects

Person who never used topre: 'they're just rubber domes, cherry MX is better"
Person who can't type dvorak: "you just learned it so you could tell everyone you're vegan"
Me: "gently caress i just jizzed all over my 400 dollar keyboard"
