The sound of my mechanical keyboard is a small part of why I like it.
It’s mainly the feel. Mmmm… clicky clack.
I like the audible feedback that I pressed the button along with the tactile feedback. This really helped me with the fatigue strain in my fingers as I no longer press the button all the way down at full strength.
- Step 1: Purchase IBM Model M 104 keyboard and USB adapter for work
- Step 2: Test it out writing code/documentation/long winded email
- Step 3: Wait for boss to respond to co-worker complaints about it
- Step 4: Suggest it was done to improve productivity and if they are unhappy with it, suggest a WFH schedule instead
- Step 5: WFH and enjoy your clicky click as intended

South Park Gnomes would like a word with you on a more profitable model…
Am i the only one that likes quiet keyboards?
Nope. I think clicky switches are awful and disrespectful in shared spaces.
Remember when typewriters were a thing? How did anyone survive?
Fans have an annoying constant whirrrrrrrrrr noice.
Switches have a interactive clikclak that lets me think I’m an angry crab snapping at someone thats annoying me.
It’s all about feel. Mechanical keyboards just feel so very good.
edit: Actually, I’m wrong. It’s also about sound. There are silent mechanical keyboards. They just aren’t of the Lethani.
And to add on: improved precision when typing. My WPM honestly improved once I started bring my lubed Holy Panda board to work and forwent the membrane keeb my work provided.
Fans = noise Clicky keyboard = voice of god
I like the feedback from clicking. A bit like listening to your own voice, not because I like it, but because of feeling present in reality.
Same as sitting near an open window, listening to the street and the wind and maybe rain.
I used to live in a single storey, converted barn and I loved hearing the sound of the rain on the roof. Your comment took me right back to that
Yeah, why do some people like listening themselfes talk?

If the pc is too loud you cannot bask in the glory of the clacks.
Alas, streaming means I have to use quiet switches now.
But most “gaming” switches are most silent… Usually more silent than membrane keyboards even
I’m Autistic, i need me some Linearity.
There is a place and a time to be loud.
I feel attacked.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
I use silent tactile switches im not pictured here.
Still too loud.
