Why different typewriters feel different - Type actions and force curves

[@nandi123]

Very impressive work! It would be interesting to see some metric of curve shape similarities.

Very Informative, most excellent !!

Wish I understood all the terms and engineering of this all, but I get the gist… thank you!

This is fascinating information and great presentation! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome work. More please.

*Update:* See kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHa6kp6ei8xmkNU for corrections to how the force curves in this video are displayed and interpreted. All the force curves in this current video are erroneously taken via their absolute value such that the shown starting curves for the key presses are all upside-down, reflected about the y axis, up to the cusp.

which among the typewriters, especially the portables or even the 'ultraportables', do you like the most? with the most comfortable typing feel and most responsive, good for touch typing? :) Thank you. Just wondering about the best typewriters in your opinion. I notice you type properly (with all the fingers) so there could be no other better to ask than you. :) thanks.

[@miguel0226]

The reason why I'm asking is sometimes my pinky fingers do not seem the register the 'q' and 'p' and 'z'. or sometimes they are faint in imprint so thinking of ways to improve it, whether it be skill or change of device. I don't know if that makes sense to you or whatsoever. Thank you.
