And then I use this low-profile mechanical keyboard called the Low Free Flow 84, which is just the most glorious-sounding keyboard I've ever heard.
I know there are a lot of connoisseurs of mechanical keyboards that will probably contest me on this.
This is too talky or too clicky or too clacky or whatever.
But for me, the Low Free Flow 84 is just...
at the light that I did not even know existed, which is so funny because, I mean, I've been programming for a long time.
Mechanical keyboards have been a thing for a long time.
And the keyboard, when you look at it like this, it just kind of, it looks plain.
It doesn't look extravagant, but the tactile sensation you get out of pushing those keys, the talky sound that you hear when the keys hit the board, it's just sublime.
And I'm kicking myself that I was in this Mac keyboard
bubble for so long that I wasn't even in the market to find this.
I knew mechanical keyboards existed, but to be blunt, I thought it was a bit of a nerd thing that only real nerds that were much more nerdy than me would ever care about.
And then I got out of the Apple bubble and suddenly I had to find everything again.
I had to find a new mouse.
I had to find a new keyboard.
I had to find everything.
And I thought like, all right, let me give mechanical keyboards a try.
And I gave quite a few of them a try.
The Keychron is one of the big brands in that.
I didn't like that at all.
I tried a bunch of other keyboards.
