Controversial Opinion: I Am Enjoying Typing on a Cheap Logitech Business/Work Keyboard More Than My High-Price Mechanical Keyboard

[artemis789]

Hi folks.

Just posting in the "Gaming Peripherals" sub-forum with a bit of a controversial post.

I've been running mechanical keyboards for the best part of 15-20 years.

I have tried what I feel are the "classic" switches, in this order:

• Cherry MX Black switch with O-rings.
• Cherry MX Brown switch with O-rings.
• Cherry MX Red switch with O-rings.
• Cherry MX Blue switch. No O-rings.

Filco is the brand I favour, and I would recommend that brand to anyone starting out with mechanical keyboards.

Just recently, for work purposes, I have "downgraded" to a cheap Logitech mass-market keyboard (Logitech K120).

My experience of it? My typing is quiet, quick and efficient, and I can hear myself think. Typing feels comfortable. I can type while video calls are "live", without disrupting the call. I don't miss the "clack" at all.

I will be sticking with the cheap membrane keyboard, and will treat it as a "consumable" item, as the marking on the keys will inevitably wear. Even then, it is affordable.

In certain respects, I feel that I have now left the "rabbit hole" of mechanical keyboards.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has abandoned their mechanical keyboard, and their thoughts on doing so.

All the best.
