Keyboard looks cool would buy it if it wasnโ€™t mechanical

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ever tried a mechanical one? I would never go back.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I did and I switched back to the mx keys. The advntages doesn't justify the price increase for me and I prefer the aestethics of a smaller, sleeker keyboard on my desk.

But that's the beauty of a free market. We don't need "one size fits all" products, we all can have our preferred keyboards, whether that be a top-end mechanical keyboard or a low-profile traditional one :))

Sure, I'm not judging, you know what's best for you. Just a bit surprised, that's all.

Idk, I guess I'm just not as sensitive as you guys _/(0.0)\_

But I do need my vertical mouse. That is where I feel a massive difference.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What is a vertical mouse? Classic one?

How... Wait.... You like rubber domes more? Why?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Because they are silent and don't annoy me with clicking sound

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

There are mech kbs that are silent and not clicky, btw

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

The whole point of the bequiet keyboards and mice is to be quiet. You should try them!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I've watched a review on these and frankly speaking, these are as silent as non-mechanical ones

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Then pick non-clicky switches, like cherry reds or browns.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Huh? If you don't like how clicky it is, you can find other switches there are hundreds of them all with different feels some of them silent....

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

While what you said is true we need to understand tht paying more money for a mechanical keyboard to then have to modify it is very unattractive to the vast majority of customers (including me, and I use Linux).

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

What are you talking about? You can get one with your preferred switches ootb.
