Which switch is right for me?
Three questions. We suggest five switches to try.
1. How should a keypress feel?
2. How heavy?
A feather-light press: fewer than 9 nickels resting on the key would push it down. Fast and easy on the fingers, but resting fingers can set keys off.The common middle ground: about 9 to 12 nickels resting on the key. Clear resistance without tiring your fingers over long sessions.A firm, deliberate push: more than 12 nickels resting on the key. Fewer accidental presses, but more effort over a long day of typing.
3. How loud?
