I remember when I first joined GH, I didn't even have a mechanical keyboard. First IBM I bought was an M4-1, with "buckling sleeves" (aka basically a rubber dome) but it wasn't shortly after that I bought my first mechanical, a TG-3 BL84, the non-cop edition that had no trackpad. It had a rubber sleeve protector on it, which with the MX Blacks was just too much actuation force, so I removed the protector.
Then I realized I hated linear switches and got a cheap Ducky w/ MX Blues. Since then, been nothing but clicky (or at least very tactile) for me.
