Key switches are irrelevant...
Layout is more important...

keyswitches are absolutely relevant if you're talking about ergonomics.
I agree on everything apart from Segoe being a viable alternative. I hate that font. Seriously.

Did we just describe Jwaz?
I would take a serif on uppercase I for differentiation between lowercase l anyday. I have trouble with Roboto in this regard as well. There is a very slight height difference, with the lowercase l being a bit taller, but I have to stare and compare either one to other letters.
Wasn't there already a thread about fonts? Anywhoo, everyone knows Garamond is the best font ever made and also sometimes Inconsolata depending on what you're working on. Courier is good for script writing (in fact, some places won't even look at your script unless it's formatted and in Courier.)
There are way too many fonts around. After a while they all look the same to me anyway.

i like a few others in this thread really like the look of old vintage typewriter typefaces like courier. i am currently writing all the thank you letters from my wedding with an old IBM Selectric III and it is the bees knees.
I like Sans Serif.
Hating Comic Sans is now as tired as using it.
And soon pointing this out will be just as tired.

Here's the thing.. You're having fun, sure.. that's fine, but would you say you're making an objective evaluation of the typeface in that case...Show Image(http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131108034917/winx/images/d/df/Onion_head.jpg)
Surprising that Microsoft keyboards don't use Comic Sans.
Holy, you're right. I just see 'bocoose' when the brightness on my iPad isn't really high..

It can be confusing, but for clarification a 'font' refers to a specific size and set of characters in a typeface (eg: Garamond Bold 12pt), although in digital we no longer have separate point sizes. A 'typeface' refers to the design of the style itself (eg: Garamond Bold), but is often seen used to refer to the type family as a whole if there is one (ie: if there are multiple styles), eg: Garamond.
Neat little tidbit I picked up from reading on the history of types: 'uppercase' referred to the upper half of the typesetter's font case (a box where the metal type was stored) containing the capital letters. Likewise 'lowercase' contained the non-capitalized characters.
OT: I think Helvetica is a perfectly great typeface. It's overuse is the only reason it can be tiresome. All typefaces have their purpose.
