@IB1, "feels better and is louder" was a convincing enough reason to upgrade to my recent girlfriend tbh

What's the benefit? I've heard people say it feels better and is louder, which isn't very convincing.

Apparently the keys are lighter and easier on the fingers and they never get stuck- also probably feels like you would be shredding through work given how loud they are

I got the Das Keyboard 4 Professional and love it. Definitely recommend it.

Its all about the feedback. Mechanical keyboards usually have to be pressed wi a bit more pressure, for which the key suddenly goes in after a clearer threshold of pressure. and also that distinct *click*.

I worked with someone who used one. A lot of data entry accompanied his modeling so it helped him.

If you want people to HEAR you working, you should go for it. Some people purposefully slam keys to sound like they are writing something important, so there's something to it

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
