I was listening to the latest Maximum PC Podcast, and one of the hosts on it got *****ed at for loud typing when another host was trying to talk.  His response was "sorry, I have a mechanical keyboard"  Then shortly after he got *****ed at again even though it sounded to me like he was typing as lightly as he could trying not to bottom out.

The curse of the mechanical keyboard user is solved by this carpel tunnel educing device!
