    On the point of mechanical keys, I got some Cherry blacks and man those are heavy! Still getting used to them.

      I used to use a Cherry MX Brown up until a couple of weeks ago.

      Now I use a Logitech G810 Orion Spark with Romer-G switches. They're very nice.
      Responsive, and silent, and requires has a light actuation force.

      IBM keyboards used in the 1980s used to be mechanical.

      But these were expensive to produce, so manufacturers started producing membrane keyboards to cut down costs. They just use rubber pressure domes to respond to the key press. Nobody really gave any thought to how "bad" these keyboards and as new PC users in the 90s onwards, just accepted that these keyboards were just the norm.

      The last 10 years or so have seen a resurgence in mechanical keyboards, as power PC users/gamers demand more choice in their peripherals. They simply feel better, and last a LOT longer than membrane style keyboards. There are a variety of switches available (each giving a different "feel" and experience, but "Cherry" is the original and predominant maker of the switches used in most mechanical keyboards.

      The colour of the switches (used by Cherry) denote actuation force, height, clickiness, and the types of springs used.

      TLDR; Mechanical keyboards are superior in every way, and there's a mechanical keyboard to suit everyone.
      E.g. Gamer, typist, normal PC user etc.

        Well, that's pretty most things in general - You get what you pay for.

      Yeah, I know the feeling (with a baby and a wife who hates noise). That's one of the main reasons I sold my "silent" Cherry MX Brown keyboard. The switch itself is silent, but the keycaps make a loud noise when they hit the base of the keyboard.
