Throw your RGB disco lights little toy gaymer keyboard in the trash and buy a man's keyboard. Thanks.

PS It's 1985, not 1980. This keyboard is made in the same factory, with the same tooling, by the same people, as the 1985 IBM Model M. Thanks.

I exclusively type on a FreeWrite device. I then save my documents to the cloud and copy/paste them on the board using a mouse.

I own three "modern mechanical keyboards": a HyperX Alloy FPS Pro with Cherry MX blue switches, a Logitech K840 with Romer G tactile switches, and a Redragon K552 with Outemu blue switches. The Unicomp beats them all in terms of tactile feedback and typing quality. I think I might just give the others to Goodwill at this point, it's that good.

Second, the Cherry MX switch was patented in 1983. All mechanical keyboards with Cherry switches (or Kailh, Outemu, Gateron, etc clones) are using a 36 year old design. That's hardly "modern". The IBM Model M came out two years after the Cherry MX switch so it's a newer design than your "modern" keyboard. The Apple butterfly switch keyboard is modern (and also complete garbage). The Cherry MX is an antique.

To draw a comparison: rubber dome keyboards are Nerf guns, Cherry MX is a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun, and IBM buckling spring is an AK-47 with a bump stock and a high capacity assault clip.

I'm not seeing "Freewrite" anywhere on your list. What a poser.
