Banging my head against the wall…

Not because of anything going on, it’s just a lyric from the song on spotify… somethings just never change.

So I think I might have a problem… It started in the summer of 2020 and it’s just been slowly escalating to a point now where it’s pervasive.

The issue ask?

Mechanical keyboards… specifically all of my computers now have them and when I type on a membrane keyboard I openly bitch about it at work.

It started simply enough, Keychron K2 that all the tech reviewers were into at the time (and if you watch their videos many are still rocking K2 boards or something similar from Keychron). I then got a “gaming mechanical” keyboard.

What makes it gaming you ask? Why the RGB when you type on it of course.

I then got two more boards… this time both logitech for work. One at home and one for the office when go in. Both are Logitech K8xx series keyboards… they are cheap enough and I’m not spending MX money on stuff for work. Of the two I really like the K845 better, it’s a bit slimmer and lower profile on the deck but has full size keys.

Which got me noticing tall my K2 was when I used it to type (and the distinct lack of a number pad) that I started looking for new keyboard for home and well the Keychron K7 is seeming to fit the bill. I don’t know if I’m loving the RED switches vs the Browns I have in everything else (the K845 is also RED and doesn’t feel as stiff as the K7).

So I now have more mechanical keyboards then I do full time use computers in the house… so yeah….

But of all the problems to have it’s better then turning yellow like a Simpsons character.
