Mechanical keyboards are like cycling.Feels good, but you won't go far before your joints ache. Once you feel you're past the activation point, you don't need to press further. That's where most of the click comes from if you've got browns. On the subject of noise, your mechanical keyboard will sound much quieter to your colleagues if you can teach yourself to avoid bottoming out. It has browns, but they're quieter as they've been well used. At work I have an ancient broadcast control keyboard from Devlin that I rescued from a skip.I also have a Ducky with browns at home and love that.I love the feel but it's too loud for the office. I have a Das Keyboard with blues at home.It's much easier to avoid bottoming out with these, so I don't get that repeated jarring on my joints each time I press a key. On the other hand, I can type for days with my mechanical keyboards. My experience with Apple magic keyboards is that after a few days of typing (tech authoring / coding etc.) my fingers hurt as the travel of the keys is tiny… so I can't avoid bottoming out with every keypress. Maybe you can suggest even better options that I've found till now. So I'd rather go with the brown ones.īut before I make a purchase I decided to go and ask a community that has much more insight on that term than I do. I read a lot about the mechanic switch types (and I even bought a switch tester) and I adore the blue clicky sound and feel, but unfortunately, they are so loud that they will kill me in my office if I S use those.

I need Mac-specific keys on the keyboard as this will make my life way easier with the programs I use.įrom the opinions I researched till now, I'm wondering between Das Keyboard for Mac that has awesome reviews and Apple Magic Keyboard 2 - a standard choice for macs.I decided to put my MacBook on a laptop stand and therefore I need a keyboard.
