Why do people say that clear switchs are for programming?

[sClass]

I see a lot of people here and other sites say that clears are the best for programming. Why is that?

[demik]

proof of people saying this?

[CPTBadAss]

A lot of people say Blues are for typing. Doesn't stop me from playing games on them. It's just personal preference.

Just best for any kind of typing "imo" due to the tactile feedback. This is why they're horrible for gaming, again "imo".

It's just personal preference.

Edit - Awww I totally thought this was page 2 of the ergo clear thread

you're still typing tho.

Probably because they feel great to type on but not continuous typing, like for long essays, rather for something with intermissions.  That's because bottoming out on them is tougher than on lighter switches, but the actuation force is fairly light.  So doing bursts of typing is not very tiring, especially if you don't bottom out, whereas continuous typing might be fatiguing.  I definitely like stock Clears a lot for general purpose typing of intermittent sort.

Hype surrounding Code keyboard?

Ok thank you. Seemed like people just like them more but didn't know the reason why.

They don't give you special coding powers, like if you paint your calipers red you get +20hp?

You know what else is good for programming? Keyboards.

I also heard if they are connected to a computer they work even better!

that's bull.  don't hate on wireless

People have often wondered what mx switch was best for programming. An intuitive approach to overcome this quagmire is the evaluation of systems. The design of clear switches is such that they have an increased coefficient of inductive coupling. Despite the fact that futurists continuously hypothesize the exact opposite, clear switches depend on this property for correct behavior. To mitigate issues caused by inductive coupling, keyboards such as the code keyboard will often include special capacitors known as "decoupling capacitors." At the peak of inrush current, these decoupling capacitors will excite electrons with a spin of s=1/2.  These electrons then induce a magnetic dipole moment which interacts with the typists own neural network, locking the spin of the neural electrons to S_n=(1/2)^-. The notion that electrons interact with the synthesis of simulated annealing is always considered theoretical. Whether electron spin lock will have a net positive or net negative impact on the subjects brain waves tends to follow a gaussian distribution.  Although, these unstable experimental results could be caused by gaussian electromagnetic disturbances in our mobile telephones. Certainly, this is a direct result of the analysis of extreme programming.

I agree. Honestly, I hate those marketers who try to create hype

For example, the all awesome Das Keyboard with blank keys or the CODE keyboard for programmers.

To me, buy the switch testers, or borrow your friends's and see if you like the switch or not. For my personal pref, I like Red for programming

Do you know any testers that have clear switch's. Can only find ones with red,blue,black,brown,green.

I agree too.
Personally, I think the stock Clear should be only used for POS system.
It should not be used for any coding.
Ergo Clear is ok but not stock Clear please

where did you hear this?!?!?!

I beg to differ! I love my stock clears for programming. Hell, I love them for everything.

Team Stock Clears, assemble!

No but really, some notions tend to get very exaggerated.  There's nothing wrong with typing on stock Clears--it's really not that tough, especially if you don't bottom out--which is not too difficult on Clears.

are people that hate stock clears also people that always bottom out?  cause i could see where the hate is coming from then

Why use more force than you have to? 
Seems like if you had enough finesse to not bottom out, you'd probably want the lighter ergo-clear anyways. Want to try them out sometime personally.

As others have pointed out, it's mostly preference. If you find MX Clears comfortable/satisfying to type code on, then it's "great" for programming -- for you. It also depends on your typing style, whether you bottom-out or not.
