Plus it has a rainbow backlight that makes it gay! hexbear-gay-pride

I had been using a membrane keyboard that was so worn out sometimes I had to press a key twice. Now the keys glide effortlessly. faded

It's just like playing the piano; speed comes from reducing tension in the fingers to allow the tiniest muscle impulse possible to accomplish the required motion, and having sticky keys makes things much more difficult because it raises the the key's "activation energy" (chemists' terminology).

My only disappointment is that I was hoping for even snappier keys. I once used a mechanical keyboard that was as loud as a typewriter. Apparently there are a whole variety of switches out there---again like a piano in that you can tune the "action" to your preference. It says I have "Outemu Brown" switches for whatever that's worth. Any switch stans out there? What are my options?

    They're linear, which means there's no tactility on press until you bottom out.

    IMO reds aren't actually that mushy compared to MX* browns, they feel smooth more than anything.

    *MX brown clones like the Outemus feel better than MX browns in my experience
