Title: KeyboardCo's Bruce on 'the subliminal appeal of mechanical keyboards'
Post by: wsjudd on Thu, 11 August 2016, 15:31:33

Our fearless leader Bruce recently starred in a video on 'the subliminal appeal of mechanical keyboards' that was produced by tech pub legends TechRadar. It's a nice look into the mind of the man behind The Keyboard Company, and its continuing focus on mechs.

If you haven't seen it yet, take a look -- we've linked it below. How many old school keyboards can you spot, and which is your favourite?

Great video!

I'm surprised there aren't any comments in this thread.

I used to use Dell membrane keyboards, before I rediscovered mechanical keyboards.  I have subsequently used all sorts of mechanical keyboards, currently an SSK.  It has made a difference to how a feel at work.  Sometimes I'll type more than I have to just to hear the clicking :)

I'm surprised too! But thanks for changing that :-) I reckon I type way more with a mechanical too; there's something about the tactile and aural feedback that makes you want to keep going, faster and faster until it's a thunderstorm of clicks and clacks :-)

I know what you mean.

Another reason why I have a few keyboards with different switches, so I can swap them around and enjoy the different sounds and feels (except for MX reds - they are way too light for me).
