[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Anyone else have other keyboard recommendations? Let me know!

Meanwhile me who hates the sound of keyboard clicking

[@angelocusipagable]

Believe it or not I type fastest on the MacBook Pro 2019 butterfly keyboard 😭

[@gnostie]

In my experience, mechanical keyboards aren't a way forward. I don't like the feel, my accuracy suffers, and I get more tired.

[@abcdabcdoops]

causes me fatigue. membrane for me

[@lbeetech]

To like blue switches, you must work alone...

[@KamilleN16]

oh dear. this might not be the video for me. I've been wanting to get k3. I have enough mech keyboards for now T_T

[@JustifyJustin]

I'm an 80s child - and these were the standard fare with XT/286 etc machines. Are they durable, definitely. Are they HIGHLY irritating? YES. I would kill someone with one in a office. Don't get the hype, but either way, these are ideally for a man-cave or solo work from home environment. It is the tech equivalent of heating fish for lunch in the office microwave.

Love of mechanical keyboards is making me learn touch typing

[@sammikumar6389]

I type faster on membrane keyboard I don't know why most people say that mechanical keyboard is better. I don't like the long travel of mechanical keyboard.

[@hmdz150]

The travel distance is not necessarily longer than membrane keyboards. Keys are registered by a slight press (in red switches) without a need to press them fully down. However, the audio feedback when pressed each key completely down is what makes the typing experience different. It signals a key press which is important to people typing fast to move to the next character without missing characters.

[@nerdhead9418]

Another stellar tech video Andrew!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Appreciate the feedback!

[@hmdz150]

I just bought my first ever wireless mechanical keyboard and wow! the typing experience and accuracy is miles ahead of MacBook’s magic keyboard or any other chiclet keyboard I have ever used in my life. The distinct sound of each key being pressed signals a single letter being correctly typed. This is important for me since I missed many keys during typing and had to correct my mistakes over and over.

[@john_jheng]

clicky clicky clicky I can only type 20 WPM now...... I'm still practicing.

[@stephenlflf3871]

If you type all day than def get a Mechanical keyboard. They feel so much better

[@QueenEchidnaaa]

I've been thinking of getting myself a mechanical keyboard and I'm definitely considering the Keychron K2. Nice video as always!

[@lemonmane69]

just get the red switches, maybe the browns but they are not awesome.

[@NikhilonYT]

I bought and returned the k2 first time and used an mx keys. recently i thought of giving it a try and trust me switching from the keys to a k2 is hard because of its sheer height. I'd much rather go for something like a k3 becaus of the low profile and Im thinking of returning the k2

[@TheTekSone]

I have not invested in a "clicky" keyboard. I want to but do not know where to start with all of the offerings out there

[@stotriyam6640]

Clicky😁

[@victorc1462]

also im curious are those just the keycaps that are low profile or switches as well?

[@choondoichai]

hi do you type the way using 10 fingers or some of them are not used at all? i noticed you are latter but you are fast. correct me if i am wrong. anyway, i really enjoy my keychron k3 v2 with optical blue switch.

[@seanelias6478]

My first mechanical keyboard was Das keyboard then recently I got Logitech mechanical keyboard, both of them are good. Might get a wireless one at some point.

[@Kevin.l888]

I originally had the keychron K4 V2 but because i sometimes deal with customers over the phones, the keyboard noise was overwhelming so im now using an MX keys

[@KamilleN16]

I still love keychron so much. I see it, I click on it ,ahahah

[@soonie411]

I think i still like the look and sound of the k2 better!! am I weird lol

[@shervin5942]

Do you have experience with the optical k3?

[@yanoiyt4749]

"clicky"

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

🏆

[@victorc1462]

I wish keychrons made a version that takes AAA or AA or sonar panels to completely get rid of wires. Any idea if there are low- profile keyboards that take aa or aaa batteries?

[@vladlabyrinth6335]

why the fk you can want this? maybe lets use aaa in macbook's also lol

[@victorc1462]

@@vladlabyrinth6335 well, i only change bats in a keyboard like once per 1-2 months, and I use rechargeable aaa bats. So once its time to recharge I just change them to fresh set and never have to use a wire. Very convenient. True wireless experience. And I ended up getting this keyboard for this very reason: there are no more wireless mechanical keyboards with replaceable bats that I know of.

When you think your 90 words per min is fast ... 🥲

[@AndrewEthanZeng]
