    tbf it just feels better, i like the precision, i like the small travel, i like the sound of laptop keyboards better. i know your probably rocking your 200 euros custom built holy pandas lubed up THOCC keyboard or something, but i feel its just unnecessary spending on something with worse performance. OMG WOOTING 60HE INSTANT PRESS!!! ZOMG!! guess what, thats just a laptop keyboard with stilts.

      just unnecessary spending

      I have had the same mechanical keyboard for twenty years, how many contact dome abominations have you bought in the meantime?

      Nah I have 20 euro keyboard from local electro shop. Basically a laptop keyboard. Non mechanical, thin buttons, etc. Thing is, it’s not nearly as reliable as when I tried mechanical one. And you can get mech for far less than 200 eur I couldn’t even afford that lmao.

      What I’m saying is mechanical are objectively better. This is not about preference. From the “feel” standpoint I like laptop keyboards better. But when I’m coding or playing games it gets in the way significantly

        Your basing your entire experience on a cheapo 20 euro bumfuck keyboard? Im sure on an actual laptop you’ll quickly change your mind. Ive worked with thise types of cheap membrane keyboards before, They suck.

          I do have a laptop but I need additional keyboard since I started using a second monitor in addition to the laptop because the keyboard is now unreachable comfortably. I’ve always used laptop keyboards before lmao.

          Here I see you didn’t even read my previous comment to the end lmao. Out
