Relevant to my interests, but this seems an awful lot like submarine marketing. (The article, not the submission here.)
pstadler•4mo ago
What is submarine marketing? Asking as a non-native English speaker.
gs17•4mo ago
It means it's an article paid for by a PR firm and subtly benefits one of their clients (while the topic of the article is true, or at least not an outright lie, and not obviously an ad).

I ended up switching to Keychron keyboards and found that the stabilizers do make a big difference in feel and in my own accuracy. I'm still looking for a good design that lets me put a drop-cap key where the Capslock (I've got Control there) key goes.

"Mechanical keyboards" like these are not very mechanical. I've overhauled Teletype machines with real mechanical keyboards. You can only press one key at a time, because the encoding mechanism pushes back if you push two keys at once. When you press a key, it briefly locks down during the scan cycle, then releases. Typing is speed limited, and it's like playing a piano at a constant rate.

An original IBM Selectric keyboard has the same lock-down properties, but allows one-key rollover. Nobody replicates that, although the Selectric was once held up as the gold standard of keyboards.

Rattles off a bunch of products, says “these are better”, doesn’t go into any electromechanical, acoustic, or ergonomic discussion of why this may be so. Then blames the reader for installing them incorrectly if there’s no obvious improvement. Never actually delivers on the premise on the headline.

Seems like snake oil

snake oil? in the mechanical keyboards fandom? couldn't be true!

jerlam•4mo ago
I think you're supposed to use the snake oil to lubricate the switches.
