I checked this Reddit link and I am glad to have stumbled upon this; never knew mechanical keyboard was a thing.
In addition to skimming through the many links mentioned there, I also went through your Blog, specifically this one. Thanks for sharing your answer and also spawning interest in me for these keyboards. :)
NICE I'm glad you are interested! I'm like, unhealthily into mechanical keyboards, so if you ever have any questions, feel free to ping me @cassidoo
on Twitter (or here), I'm very happy to knowledge dump on you. :)
Thank you! BTW I already follow you on Twitter after i attended your Vue.js session at Signal conference!! I will definitely post questions. And also I am coincidentally discussing these keyboards with my regular Waze carpool driver, who also happens to be an avid fan of these keyboards :) he too is interested in checking your blogpost

Sounds like you've used some super clunky keyboards then. There's a lot of them out there and some people love those. I recommend checking out a keyboard with MX Speed switches, or Kailh low-profile switches. They became a thing because keyboards these days are cheaply made. Mechanical keyboards fixed that, and then came customization to the nth-degree, which made people (including me!) flock to them. :)

What a small world! :D
Ohh, a few of my pals are big mechanical keyboard fans, which are you currently using?
A few! I've got:
And going to build a 65% keyboard with GMK Oblivion next. :)
Why do people like mechanical keyboards?
Whenever I use a keyboard with big, raised keys it feels so clunky. Like Iām being slowed down.
Probably just so use to the slim-line MacBook keys.
Should I be giving these keyboards a red-hot-crack?
