I tried to do the Authentic, Painstakingly Constructed World, and it was only hindrance. I ended up with more notes than story by about 3:1.

I don't think that ratio is uncommon or undesirable, at least not when you're serious about worldbuilding.

do mechanical keyboards make a difference when typing words? does it increase my WPM (words per minute, thats like Actions Per minute)

Raised mine from 105 to 115. The clicky sounds are great, but if you live with other people it'll probably drive them batshit. More than that, though, typing on a mechanical keyboard FEELS wonderful.

Do you normally wait until you've finished a long work to edit it or do you go back every now and then and rework it?

The answer's going to be different for everyone. For me personally, if I stop before the first draft is finished to start tinkering with it, I'll never finish it at all. I have to get the whole story down, THEN edit and rewrite and distill and refine.
