My solar-powered wireless USB keyboard kicked the bucket this week and I want to give the mechanical keyboard stuff a shot. My use case:
- don't give a shit about gameing
- primarily use OSX and sometimes linux
- programmer
- needs full num pad
- ideally no Bluetooth, wired is OK
I'm mostly interested in the tactile quality of it, and how maintainable/ easy to clean it is. Not so much power gaming optimizations and all that malarkey.
If anybody has good/bad experiences I would love to hear about them. I don't really know what to look for in a "good" mechanical keyboard.
@cooler_ranch you're welcome!
yeah, there is a subtle difference between the tacticle bump and the linear switches. some places also sell switch testers so you can try all the varieties to see which matches your feeling and sound needs.
Let me know if I can help more. I've been falling down the rabbit hole of mech keyboards for a bit now and I'm happy to share info
