The Northgate Omnikey Ultra is still the most powerful keyboard, and I would use it if it fit on my desk

the actuation on the white alps is far superior feeling IMO than blues. i wonder what the closest cherry switch is? greens maybe?

The at101w barely counts as mechanical. It's like they pissed in the switches

I like mine.
I have a white one with a UK layout.
In retrospect quite a good idea, because it has saved me from many stupid keycap purchases (none of the ones I like have ISO enter keys)

Haven't done much remapping, and I usually just use one layer, but it feels nice to type on and I could probably bludgeon someone with it in a pinch

My coworker got a mechanical keyboard and hearing the constant loud clacking all day makes me want to murder. Who's problem is this? How do I ask him to type quieter without sounding like an autist? NOTE: I have headphones that I wear all the time but they only slightly muffle the background noise because I don't listen to music

Come to realize that the sound of a mechanical keyboard in use is actually the most beautiful music there is

It depends, if his coworker is your typical hunt-and-peck office drone typist, it can be pretty infuriating to listen to

But the fast, efficient keyboard chatter of a properly trained touch typist is music to the ears, yes
