In praise of the mechanical keyboard

Or maybe it's a result of people not thinking about keyboards much? Technology evolution is driven by profit from a solid userbase, and right now the userbase is fairly small, so there isn't much extra money for R&D.

While there may not be much evolution in switches, there is a lot of recent evolutions in keyBOARDs.

Some examples: two new versions of the ergodox announced more or less simultaneously:

ErgoDox Infinity https://www.massdrop.com/buy/infinity-ergodox?mode=guest_ope...

ErgoDox EZ https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ergodox-ez-an-incredible-...

My whole point is that mechanical keyboards owe their existence to people thinking too much about keyboards :)
