Well that makes me happy! I guess another question I have, we also seem to be moving towards these really streamlined and minimal designs, for example almost everyone I know would rather have a tiny scissor switch or some sort of infrared sci-fi keyboard, how will mechs adapt to fit into those kinds of roles? Or do you think that mechs being different from those keyboards is the appeal?
no... slim compacts are just gimmicks... for the n00bs...

The things I would do for an ergodox. . .except pay for one. . .
Do you think that there is a possibility of a more compact mechanical switch in the future? How long do you think cherry's reign over mechs will last?
Mechanical keyboards will never die. They are like the Terminator.
They last forever--or at least until you submerge them in molten steel.

Spoiler:
Chuck's blood gets into a vat of plastic which were made into new GoodGuy dolls, and his soul reincarnates in a new body..
Akin to how new terminators made from the Original Terminator metal would become repossessed with the Original Terminator's soul
WHICH does happen... because that terminator IS recreated in the future... and was sent back for exactly such event to cycle..

Yes he does.. because he's a sufficiently complicated machine.. "a learning-computer" Show Image

Since when does a "learning-computer" have a soul? It's still just GIGO. A soul is the "ghost in the machine", the thing that trains the neural network, outside of the system by necessity. It cannot come from inside the system.
Back on topic, mechanical keyboards will outlive most of us. Just think about how tough a Model M is and how nice it feels to use. They'd survive an apocalypse and inspire the creation of computers again, just so people can use them.
