After I tried a co-worker's mechanical keyboard, I couldn't go back to the mediocre membrane keyboards. Much more satisfying to type on, and my typing accuracy improved. I ended up buying a custom mechanical keyboard called the Tex Shinobi that's made to look like a ThinkPad keyboard, and even has the mouse buttons and functioning trackpoint. Everyone who hasn't should try a mechanical keyboard, even if it's a "cheap" one.
Same ... I could never go back to those garbage ones. Yes, it's very expensive, but when I spend several hours a day typing ... it's worth every penny, AND, these things will last forever. If the switches wear out, you just buy a new pack for $15-$25 (depending on how fancy you want to get) and you have a new keyboard. Also, I did get the one that's Bluetooth 5 compliant, meaning that I can connect to multiple computers, and when I combine it with a bit of software, and you have a Bluetooth 5 mouse, you can make it so that if you slide your mouse off the side of your monitor, it'll switch over automatically to controlling the next computer. There's a product out there by Synergy that's like $19 to buy, and it'll let you control Windows, Max, and Linux computeres. Microsoft has a free one as part of the "Power Toys" called "Mouse without Borders" that works great if you just have Windows systems, but if you have mix of stuff, then the Synergy software is great. I used to have this mechanical switch where I could move from one system to the next, but it was a bit of a cuŠ¼bersome manual process, but with the Bluetooth 5 and this type of software, it's as easy to switch from one system to another as it is to slide from one screen to the other.
