It's that the market for mechanical's is expanding DAILY hence the manufacturers aren't stupid to ignore this current situation.Prelim wrote: ↑mech isn't "old school" anymore... everyone wants laptop keyboards these days, arghhh![]()

MX has become a brand more than a model of keyswitch :/Daniel Beardsmore wrote: ↑Why on earth is it called "MX"? I guess this is like Mac OS X, where it's stuck at X forever as the version number has itself become a name. I guess "MX" now means "a keyboard switch" instead of denoting a series. I vote for MZ personally.
While this is true, I always thought that the X in MX stood for the cross contact switches, and these are still part of the new design.Daniel Beardsmore wrote: ↑Why on earth is it called "MX"?

Which is ironic, considering that Cherry managers decided to ignore a lot of stuff so far.Elrick wrote: ↑ It's that the market for mechanical's is expanding DAILY hence the manufacturers aren't stupid to ignore this current situation.
Gold crosspoint goes back at least as far as the mousetrap switches, for which they made a low-current version with sharp contacts for (I assume) higher pressure to offer the best guarantee of passing a small amount of current. Gold crosspoint was then used in the M4/5/6/7 type, M8, M9, M10, M11 and finally MX and ML. I wondered if "X" meant "10", but that was disproved after switches in between M9 and MX were discovered, although M10 isn't known and M11 is extremely rare.Halvar wrote: ↑While this is true, I always thought that the X in MX stood for the cross contact switches, and these are still part of the new design.

i'm no stranger to slouching behind my keyboard....Findecanor wrote: ↑ Myself, I prefer to slouch back on the chair in front of the keyboard and sometimes with my feet up. I have been told that slouching would be better for the back than a bad upright posture. However, for that position to be ergonomic for my arms and shoulders, I can't have a keyboard that is too high above my knees. That is a big reason why I don't use my Kinesis contoured more.
