Agree with everything but the mechanical keyboard. Logitech and Steelseries make membranes keyboards with the reliability of mechanical switches. And they type so smooth and quiet like a laptop. It's personal preference and I like both. I am a very heavy, fast, 3 finger one hand 2 on the other typer. I can go 70 words a minute all randomly like most computer nerds and hit very hard. I can put a mechanical keyboard through it's paces and it's very loud. So part of me likes the membrane keyboards for my personal style. I'd love to test several keyboards side by side to determine which I prefer.
Speaker of AB testing side by side. I own a Cherry Red Coolermaster and a Steelseries Apex Membrane. I should AB them and see which I prefer. The coolermaster shit the bed due possibly to a drink spill, so It's sitting in the box.
