If you don’t like the people you work with Cherry MX Blue 🙂 ---

Was doing some more research yesterday and discovered this is in fact a mechanical switched keyboard as well. It uses Cherry MX Brown switches, it has a option to turn on a generated clicky sound that the Cherry MX Blue provide. This is now the keyboard I must get, you do have to retrain yourself but I think it is worth it in the long run. ---

There is no way I would put that monstrosity on my desk. Maybe in a different line of work, definitely not for me. I like the straight keyboard style, no bulge, bend ergonomic shit. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mechanical-keyboards-worth-it/219035.md?page=1)
