i have this wild hypothesis that people who prefer linear switches are fearful of coming into contact with objects and thus resultant of their fingertips touching the keycaps their brain suggests that a sufficient amount of contact has been made, owing to a pathologically established paranoia of object-interference, as opposed to that of a more tactile user, who establishes that the switch has activated when it has actuated and responded with a delicately nuanced interposition, not when the actuator has become sufficiently fearful of his contact with the keycap situated atop the switch, which exists dually as a cognizable object of action potential and abject horror.

discuss!

I have a suspicion that preference for tactile switches is a symptom of deep-seated insecurity; the tactile-switch user requires the reassurance from tactile feedback with each keystoke, lest his feelings of personal inadequacy convince him that he is simply not good enough to have pressed the key successfully. Linear switch users, on the other hand, have confidence; they know that they have the strength of character (and of finger) to press a key down far enough to activate it, and thus do not require the same constant affirmations.

I suspect you all live sheltered lives thus giving you the ample free time to discuss such great inconsequential matters.
