Not touch typing, but still thinking in QWERTY daily. You may surprise yourself is all I'm saying. It's like people who learn another language, generally they are OK with switching between them, just not super rapidly.

If I had to use a click jacket switch I would probably just go with broken-in MX blues because they sound the least unpleasant and the weighting is nice enough. With Gateron you can actually feel the click jacket sliding around inside of the housing and they feel super...chalky? That's the best way I can describe them.

As of right now one of my current boards has Gateron pro yellows installed and those are really fantastic out of the box if you don't feel like spending 6 hours lubing. Not the most consistent factory lube but gets the job done if you're lazy like me.

I got my none silent u4t switches. Still more silent than the cheap plastic crap my work provides

Been wanting Haimu heartbeat but always OOS at canon keys

I bought mine a while back off Amazon and they also came with an 80g spacebar switch! Nice little addition. The diffuser helps tremendously on south facing boards where the LEDs can be potentially a little blinding. I was little shocked how bright the LEDS were on my Keychron Q7, which is what lead to getting these.

The factory lube was great out of the box (jar), but have now been developing a little noise on a few. Will likely have to lube them after all. But still, very pleased with them.

My office still uses actual IBM typewriters for some stuff (courthouse) so i can get away with using non-silenced T1s in all my boards lol

I just replaced the browns in my keyboard with Alfion Runners, and although not “Thockless” it’s a less disruptive sounds. But still brown have nothing on blues or greens; the person that runs clickey switches in an office setting is truly chaotic Evil…

How much was it?

some ppl like that it feels more natural coz their thumbs rest on the spacebar

Lol… not going to judge but….yeah that’s unique to say the least

LOL

Try it, you'll see

You're not touch-typing on your phone though, nor are you transcribing things, so I'm not sure how big an impact the arrangement of the characters actually has.

By contrast, I type professionally, so I spend a lot of my time looking at the source material I'm entering, rather than watching what's coming up on the screen.
Having characters migrating around, on different keyboards, would play hell with that.

I didn’t spend 600$ on building my keeb just to have a drunk spill stuff on it … no thank you.

OoOooooOo ok ok I seeeee haha yeah that tracks. I do use browns as someone who works from home but actually for the sound 🤣 so maybe I’m a weirdo

Dude. This sucks. As much as I love the sounds, not everyone is about that, and this is just about the most obnoxious thing you could so with a Mech.

I feel like touch typing doesn’t make you not bottom out. I feel like I’ve bottomed out every keyboard since i’ve ever typed on

That's fair enough. I dunno, I'm not a huge typer but I've found there are enough places where I am "stuck" using QWERTY day-to-day that I never really lose it even though I'm typing on Miryoku Colemak-DH while at my home desk. For example, my phoe keyboard is QWERTY and I (for better or for worse) don't see that changing anytime soon.

Why do people do this?

Same, and then I built my own mx platform using the shell of the donor topre board and liked it more.

Lol

The keycaps are the alternate set from hhkb/Fujitsu. They used to be red and blue they are now green and blue.

I used that filco forever like since the release of the ninja lol. Solid and worked for me forever.
