I'm using a mechanical keyboard to type this (Rosewill RK-6000; imitation Alps keys, somewhat like Cherry Blue). It is fine, but not a revelation. I have the same reaction to my wife's keyboard with Cherry brown switches. I find it especially disappointing that a key can register on my keyboard without a click and a click can happen without a registration (these problems don't seem to happen with the way I type).
Considering amount of typing I do, keyboard is very important for me. I use Topre Realforce keyboard (capacitive key). It's the most expensive keyboard, but my wrists would not have lasted this long without it. I can accept the hassle of external keyboard with laptop... if the laptop has 16GB. On my Slackware machine, my ram usage is 8GB (out of 16GB total). Firefox-31.8.0esr alone is using 4GB! That leaves 8GB for VMs. -- William
