D: You shouldn't be bottoming out Cherry MX Reds, they should be actuating with a very light touch! And what feedback on Reds, there is none is there? They do actuate with a very light touch, but I intentionally bottom them out anyway. The feedback is from the keys bottoming out. Any additional feedback (bumps) makes the keys feel dirty/broken to me, so I stick with linear switches. +Mirumir 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1299822-mechanical-keyboards-is-it-just-a-gimmick/page/2/#findComment-597446994 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I I have an Apple keyboard at home. Coding on it is an absolutely miserable experience. Microsoft has actually MOSTLY made mechanical keyboards - starting with their original Natural Keyboard. The successor (Natural Keyboard Elite) was also mechanical, their 6000 and above keyboards are all mechanical (both wired and wireless); this applies to the individual AND Desktop Set 6000 and above; however, the 2000 and 3000 series mostly are not mechanical. Not ALL Apple keyboards bite; the Apple ProBoard (standard with the iSight models of the PPC-driven G5) is one of the better standard keyboards with any computer - Apple or otherwise. The hate on the wireless keyboards (even, if not especially the 6000 and above series) isn't because they aren't mechanical (because they are) - it is due to wireless lag and they have interference issues with some motherboards (notably ASUS).

I think you might be confusing what makes a keyboard mechanical. The Natural Keyboard and Elite were membrane keyboards. Pretty sure the 6000 series are the same.
