| Anyone else here prefer just a good old fashioned chiclet style keyboard? I've tried mechanical keyboards before and they don't appeal to me at all. |

| I preferred kv-300h for a long time, but recently got recommended lofree flow (underrepresented low profile stock niche). Now thinking about it sometimes. High-profile feels like a lot of work for fingers, unless you learn to avoid bottom-out. Gosh, even thinking about all these mkb nuances again makes me want to just kv-300h. |

| You mean Membran Keyboards? While there are membrane keyboards which feel half decent when new, they degrade very fast and especially uneven depending on key usage Thus I generally dislike them |

| ▲ | wruza 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | Reading mkb community forums for a long time I can tell that this is either self-assurance or blind eye. Switches and mkbds break all the time and some people tend to make/use quick replace whole-switch mounts, which then creates alignment issues etc. I use three membrane chiclet keyboards since around 2018 that have no wear signs apart from plastic desaturation of a package. There are good models and bad models, regardless of a type. | | |
| ▲ | homebrewer 11 hours ago | parent [-] | | Can you name those durable models? I went through a lot of KV-300H because they felt nice, but don't live nearly as long as even a cheap mechanical: I grind through one in a year — by the end of which it looks like it was worked over with sandpaper, and some buttons stop registering key presses. | | |
| ▲ | wruza 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | Nope. But I’ve read some reviews on the recent kv-300hs which stated they may have been “downgraded”, or it depends on a region/factory. Despite that I bought another one this spring in a local hw store for a new workplace and it doesn’t feel any worse yet. |

| Chiclet like the Apple one? I could never get used to its extremely shallow feel. But I do agree that mechanical isn’t necessarily better than alternatives. |
