The science of keyboard design
In depth article by Amar Sagoo which examines keyboard design. As Amar points out many people spend “several solid hours” daily interacting with keyboards, so their design, or aspects of their design, are indeed a science.
One of the most-cited criteria for keyboard aficionados to prefer a certain keyboard over another is “clickiness”. The idea behind this is that a good keyboard should give you some tactile feedback when you’ve successfully “actuated” a key, and that you shouldn’t have to depress the key all the way to the bottom to be sure, as this would not allow you to type very fast. Some keyboards don’t click at all, some give a softer and others a sharper click.
