Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

This is not an opinion lmao just wrong take. If you don't need the time precision that is required in fast paced games; or you don't need to write fast with enough precision then laptop keyboard is viable.
If you hate the sound AFAIK you can get silenced mechanical keyboards as well
tbf it just feels better, i like the precision, i like the small travel, i like the sound of laptop keyboards better. i know your probably rocking your 200 euros custom built holy pandas lubed up THOCC keyboard or something, but i feel its just unnecessary spending on something with worse performance. OMG WOOTING 60HE INSTANT PRESS!!!!!! ZOMG!! guess what, thats just a laptop keyboard with stilts.
I have had the same mechanical keyboard for twenty years, how many contact dome abominations have you bought in the meantime?
Nah I have 20 euro keyboard from local electro shop. Basically a laptop keyboard. Non mechanical, thin buttons, etc. Thing is, it's not nearly as reliable as when I tried mechanical one. And you can get mech for far less than 200 eur I couldn't even afford that lmao.
What I'm saying is mechanical are objectively better. This is not about preference. From the "feel" standpoint I like laptop keyboards better. But when I'm coding or playing games it gets in the way significantly
Your basing your entire experience on a cheapo 20 euro bumfuck keyboard? Im sure on an actual laptop you'll quickly change your mind. Ive worked with thise types of cheap membrane keyboards before, They suck.
I do have a laptop but I need additional keyboard since I started using a second monitor in addition to the laptop because the keyboard is now unreachable comfortably. I've always used laptop keyboards before lmao.
Here I see you didn't even read my previous comment to the end lmao. Out
I did read your comment, its just your regurgitating the same exact info.
