The switches mean less than the TIME it takes to break them in..

The ultimate investment is "usage."  not the device itself.

Reds are bad enough, broken in reds would be worse :eek:
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

You know every once in a while where you type a word/sentence and don't bottom out? feelsgoodman.jpg

I don't make it a point to bottom/non-bottom during regular typing..

HOWEVER,  on a speed run,  I BOTTOM..  because that's the most definitive way to ensure accuracy.

Aye I never really pay attention to it, but sometimes I write a sentence on reds without bottoming out unconsciously and it feels so good. No tactile feedback at all, it just feels like the words appear on the screen by mind control or some ****
