Just reporting:
Today I finished the 2 week trial with
MX Blue. I still hate them. I managed to type fast with it and the solution was easy: pound the hell out of the keys, bottoming out fiercely. Otherwise, very often my finger would get stuck at the tactile point, greatly slowing me down.
And I've just started testing
MX Red. I'm about 10 minutes using it.
It's unbelievably light and smooth. For some reason during the period I was using blues the cats stayed out of the room. At the second I switched the keyboards, they
came back, and I'm wondering if they were simply hating the high pitched noise from the MX Blue.
I've just typed a text at 120wpm, effortlessly. It looked like I used 10% of the effort. With blues, 120wpm was a sound fest (high pitch + fierce bottom outs) and very mentally and fisically demanding I should say. I really had to be "in the mood" to type above 110wpm with MX Blue.
I can't believe how nice are those Reds. Maybe the fact that I've hated blues so much certainly is influecing my judgment. But I don't care, now I can type ultra lightly and the key gets registered no matter what, and the typing is just flowing. And I'm not bottoming out everytime; and when it occurs, it really feels like a cloud. The cloud joke was no joke. :biggrin:
