in regards to low profile mechanical switch keyboards

personally i never tried these low profile, unless you want to count my boring laptop chiclet keyboard xd....

for mkb i prefer the regular high profile sculpted keycaps. It's not totally flat

tbh when i started out on high profile sculpted mkb keyboard, i too was a bit intimidated. but i've since gotten used to it.

in fact, i purchased a leather cushioned wrist rest to go with the mkb. it made typing on the mkb even more comfortable.

but i can also type without it, although instead of on the wrist rest, i rest my elbow on the table instead while my palm/wrist is elevated in air typing. to me it's not that uncomfortable, but i recommend a wrist rest.

This is probly a paid promo piece, so take with a grain of salt. still interesting read, also optical switches, i don't doubt they are WAY better than rubber dome keyboard. And they probably have an edge over the standard mechanical switches, because it makes use of optical technology for better responsiveness

jay's review of the Logitech G915 Wireless Gaming Mechanical RGB Keyboard. says he overspent on it



a 2nd opinion


wireless, low profile mkb

with roughly 30 hours continous usage battery life.

Which Mechanical Keyboard Switches are BEST? Blind Test!











my own vote is cherry mx brown

i liked cherry mx red for linear because easy to type on. but it lacks tactile feedback, and at times it feels like the actuation is too light, that i may accidentally actuate. this is why between that and brown, i prefer browns better

some of those on the blind test, i never tested myself, so not sure about those. but interesting how they scored higher than the mx reds and mx blues

i like cherry mx brown because it has tactile feedback. with linear, you are mostly bottoming out, is good for gaming.

but if you don't bottom out, then tactitle is best, because it has the bump feedback to remind you, that you actuated.

because these days i no longer look at the keys while i type. instead i type by feel, and the tactile feedback reminds me that i actuated the key, making typing more pleasant and sure



anyway just wondering, did anyone here try the Logitech G915 Wireless Gaming Mechanical RGB Keyboard ? is wireless mkb a thing to be taken seriously?

the normal mkb with cable, if you have desk Grommets, the cabling should be safely tucked away that way. but if you don't yes it can get a bit messy having cables.

my worry about wireless for keyboard is if that is a security risk somehow, whether typing can be intercepted using keylogging for wireless devices.
