|
||||
For a long time, I’ve had one of those Microsoft ergonomic keyboards with the split-hand layout.
|
||||
It worked reasonably well for me; I haven’t ever been terribly picky about my PC peripherals.
|
||||
Although the hardware still works fine, it’s developed an unfortunate shedding problem.
|
||||
The foam handrest is covered in this thin pleather-type skin that comes off in little pieces.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
I didn’t really want to give it up as long as it still worked fine.
|
||||
I tried to remove the foam, but the keyboard is quite resistant to being opened up, and there's no clear way to remove just that.
|
||||
I eventually got sick of having these little pieces of plastic whatever sticking to my hands all the time.
|
||||
I started dreaming about getting a new keyboard.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
Since it’s something I’ll use every day for work, I wanted to get a keyboard I enjoyed using, maybe one that was a little stylish, even.
|
||||
So I thought I’d give mechanical keyboards a try.
|
||||
They’re supposed to be more fun to type on, and they tend to have an aesthetic edge on non-mechanicals.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
I did a good bit of searching and research, and I learned a bit about mechanical keyboards along the way.
|
||||
Some boards are hot-swappable, which means you can change out the switches without soldering.
|
||||
Switches are the part of each key that actually detects your keypress, and they come with different mechanical actions, coded by color: e.g., red for linear (smooth action), blue for clicky, and brown for tactile (I think that’s somewhere between the other two).
|
||||
I wanted something on the quieter side, so went with red switches for mine.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
I knew I didn’t need hot-swapping, nor did I need backlights for the keys.
|
||||
Ruling out boards with those features meant I could find one I was happy with at a really good price, relatively speaking.
|
||||
Best of all, I was able to find one in a special retro color scheme I found really appealing.

|

The keyboard arrived a few weeks ago now, and I’ve just been more happy with it the more I’ve used it.
|
||||
It feels so nice to type on.
|
||||
The action is so smooth, and it only takes a light touch to trigger a key, so I can really fly on it, especially with keyboard shortcuts.
|
||||
</p><p>
|
||||
Best of all, I really like the way it looks.
|
||||
It’s fun to look down at it every so often while working and see this cool, aesthetic rectangle.
|
||||
I do think having nicer things for my everyday office use probably has a bit of a positive impact on my attitude, on the whole.

|
||||
Do you own a mechanical keyboard?
|
||||
What kind do you have?
|
||||
What kind of switches?
|
||||
What color?
|
||||
How do you like it?
|
||||
Do you have something else you use every day that delights you?
