Mechanical keyboard user here. Most of us use mechanical keyboards because they're a lot more fun to type on. That's it. Because if you're not having fun, what's the point?

I don't know, typing?

Else, something like Mai Tais on the beach sounds more fun, maybe it's just me...

  • but mai tais on beach don't get you money, and if you are going to type on something, its better to make sure its comfortable for you.

    • But isn't one of the reasons for using mechanical switches to be able to not bottom out, hence avoiding the repetitive shocks on the fingers? This is what I do with my tactile keyboards, and I'm actually quieter when I type quickly than my colleagues who bottom out on their cheap hollow HP keyboards like no tomorrow.

  • Mai tais on the beach don't let you signal what a cool hacker you are. When the point of a thing is signaling, normal arguments don't apply.
