I've used both membrane and mechanical keyboards in the past and find mechanical keyboards are best for gaming/light typing and membrane keyboards are best for heavy yet quiet typing.

Currently using a Filco Majestouch-2 at home and a cheap Fujitsu keyboard at work.

In a similar vein, challenging conventional wisdom, here's a question for you all...

Why would you use a straight layout keyboard rather than a curved ergonomic layout keyboard?

The human hand has this form:

Not this:

We could argue about how precisely the keyboard curve should be shaped, but clearly absolutely dead-straight has no relation to real world anatomy and is just a historical manufacturing convenience.

Many many many years ago I used to have a Microsoft curved keyboard...

No idea if they still make them/sell them..
