Thanks for this!
I’m always about two-plus years late to things that everyone else seems to know about (ie., 2023: “I’m gonna start a bullet journal!”) but I’ve always wondered what the big deal is with mechanical keyboards. I get it now. Thanks for breaking the topic down into an accessible way for noobs. This is an evergreen video and I’m so glad I found it.
