Before becoming the Number One Keyboard Expert on The Planet I was lonely and unfulfilled.  NOW look at me!

You left off today's strange Korean chick icon. Glad to see brother ripster back, though I do miss glasses chick.

- to get closer to the 100% key hit, you press harder, and therefore stress your fingers.

This it what I dislike most about rubbers.

Um... you have to do the same thing on mechanical keyboards,,, to hit confirm,, you bottom out.

The only difference is travel is 1mm shorter for activation

Huh??  I get a nice CLICK at half way down on my mech boards. Even the Cherry reds activate at halfway. Once I get the feel for where 2mm is, I no longer have to hammer down hard to ensure a good key press. I prefer the clicky keys for the feedback though, even though I am getting a feel for where that point is.

With rubbers, I have to hammer HARD, and all the way down. If I don't bottom out I don't know whether or not I'm succeeding.
