So why did you go for a mechanical keyboard if you're fine with a laptop keyboard?

I ask because to me the point of a mechanical keyboard is that you want more feedback/certainty on your keypress than an ordinary desktop keyboard gives.

If you don't notice the difference between a desktop keyboard and a laptop keyboard, then what does a mechanical keyboard add?



I wanted a programmable keyboard, and more keys, and a custom one does those things very well. Also, it was fun to build, and hopefully one of these days I'll finish the writeup on how I built it.
