This video features me typing on four different mechanical keyboards.
The first keyboard is my trusty Filco Majestouch Minila Air with Cherry MX Brown switches. It's a very compact Bluetooth keyboard which does not sound half-bad (in my opinion).
The second keyboard is a custom-built keyboard based on the Magicforce 68 chassis. It has a programmable PCB, clipped Cherry stabilizers and Kaihl Pro Burgundy switches. I also added a sheet of damping foam to the chassis in an attempt to suppress the resonances. I think overall I prefer this keyboard to my other keyboards.
The third keyboard is a good old Cherry G80-3000 with Cherry MX Black switches. It is not a bad keyboard per se, but it has several annoying traits, for example, it does not support N-key rollover (only 2KRO) and the switches are really scratchy.
The final keyboard is my vintage NMB Hi-Tek 725 Series 2 keyboard which has linear white "space invader" switches. I really love the typing feel of this keyboard, but its ancient layout makes it unusable in the modern day and age.
