I work with a lot of aerospace engineer type people and I've only found one guy who gives a poo poo about his keyboard (he has a model m).

I've tried all kinds of angles to see what might hook them but these people do not give any shits about dye sublimation or switch actuation.

that's a one-hour timer. it locks the keyboard an hour after you set it so you'll get up and move around. maybe one day if I do it enough Ill look like the guy on the key.

Now, y'see, this is where I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what to choose. What I'm trying to do is make a decision between tactile and linear with a comparison to dome switches because that's what I have now. After doing some more research, apparently the actuation force of dome keyboards is equivalent to 45g mechanical switches (despite the decrease in force), so I'll probably go for that.

I'm presuming that you mean that Browns are bad and that Reds are a better choice. But the guys below you say Browns are closer to dome because they have some kind of feedback. Yet I read somewhere else that domes actually have no feedback, meaning they're closer to Reds. Now I'm just confused. I know I don't want clicky switches because of the noise. How should I decide between linear and tactile?


Checking what profiles and uniformity mean I'd rather stick with the safe, standard OEM set without variable weight. So, basically what you're looking for. I guess that rules Topre out.


I was thinking I didn't need O-rings. Why do you think I should get some?

the only true keyboards languish in international shipping for months before you receive them. also halfway through the switch type you asked for is no longer an option so you settle for something you didn't even want.
