The second I need change to accommodate my hardware, is the second that hardware is replaced....

Of course I am typing this is on an mechanical keyboard with Cherry Switches, which is the only way to type




The DataHand has magnetically held keys. If you press them too gently, they don't move at all, so there's no chance of pushing them a bit but them not registering.

When you push hard enough to move them, they pass through an optical sensor and then can move a lot further, so there's effectively no equivalent to keys bottoming out, or the feeling of jamming your finger into a hard surface.

It's such a good design to invert both those problems and make them non-problems, I'm a bit sad I haven't seen it anywhere else on a more common style of keyboard.
