Mechanical Keyboard r/mk

So pretty. I still don’t even feel like I deserve to have this on my desk, if that makes sense.

I love keyboards. They provide the tactile feedback that makes using a computer just feel a little bit special, and a great keyboard really enhances the experience. I bought this Qisan Magicforce 60% with the matching ten-key so that I could (finally) invert the ten-key the way I like it. It’s a fantastic board, and a joy to type on. The Gateron blues are perfect in every way. I seriously cannot gush enough about this keyboard. I have annoyed literally anyone who will listen to me talk about it, and I’m not even sorry.

I use the ten-key with my left hand, so that I don’t have to lift off the mouse, and sitting with my left hand cross-body to use the ten-key on the right side of the desk was super awkward. This feels so much more comfortable and natural than I would’ve thought. I expected a little learning curve because the position of my left hand is completely different, but there really wasn’t any. I highly recommend trying it this way.
