I'm just a girl, standing in front of a low profile Cherry MX keyboard...
My low profile board was pried from me last week. In it's place, Razer's newest Blackwidow offering. With linear yellows and a line of macros on the left side, I've had to basically retrain myself to use it.
Before I fully barreled my way onto the PC hardware scene, I was rather partial to a chiclet keyboard—now hear me out. They were bouncy and felt faster to type on than any standalone keyboard I'd previously had my hands on. Of course, I now understand that past Katie was objectively wrong, and that mechanical keyboards are superior in every way to membrane boards. And yet, as I tapped away on my Razer clicky greens , a part of me still pined for the short actuation of a chiclet board.
That is, until I finally got my hands on a low profile mechanical gaming keyboard. Little did I know this would be the start of a beautiful love affair., a desktop replacement gaming laptop that made my standard mechanical board feel utterly inferior—seriously, I felt like a fucking maestro typing away on this thing. We were in love.
Gigabyte is the same company that brought us the slimmest gaming laptop with mechanical click clacks, in the form of the Aorus 15G. With the 17X the company took it a step further with sexy. I'm talking 2.5mm bottom-out, with an actuation point of just 1.6mm.
There was a lull in my low profile love affair that saw me exploring all manner of keyboards for work—a necessary evil. While checking out 60%ers, TKL boards, and some weird, I discovered that some board's switches are hot swappable. A revelation. Once we reached that cliff edge, my partner and I fell headfirst into the enthusiast keyboard space; his obsession wandering into obscure territory with thekeyboard layout , and mine teetering between hot swappable boards and exotic gaming keypads.
