    Tell me you are a psychopath without telling me you are a psychopath.

      Im fine with the sound but I largely prefer membrane keyboards to the touch. Low key travel, soft touch

      Nope, I don’t like the sound either. I didn’t like it on the model M on the IBM PS/2 either.

    The more tactile, the better I say. The clickity clack is just an added bonus.

    I started out with blue switches years ago and they were obnoxiously loud, so I switched to reds and used those for a long time. Though, I kinda got tired of them and decided to give the Keychron banana switches a try several months ago and I’m absolutely loving them. They have a light tactile feeling, but they’re much quieter than Cherry browns. And a huge bonus is that Keychron keys are hotswappable, so if I get any bad keys or feel like switching to a new type, no having to deal with soldering to replace them.

    Better go with browns, same clicky feeling, less noise. I’m using red switches right now, but I like browns better.

      Zeal Zilent v2 62g are like MX Browns but better.

      Brown’s tactile is a little too little for me. Wanted blue’s tactile but with the silent of browns. So I went Zilents.

      I’m a green sadist. If my co-workers aren’t complaining then my keyboard’s not loud enough.

    you know what I do like me some mechanical keyboards but I recently switched back to a run of the mill scissor switch keyboard because I think I like low profile keys more. Now I know there are some low profile mechanicals out there but I’m not sure I care enough to spend the money to get one. I think I’ll give this one a go for a while, maybe I’ll switch back later

      I couldn’t warm up with mechanical keyboards for that reason, even the low profile ones were way too much travel for my taste. Cherry has recently released mechanical scissor switches, but the keyboards with them are very expensive.

      The second rule of mechanical keyboards is you don’t spend money to buy a mechanical keyboard. You spend more money to build a mechanical keyboard.
