I use a keyboard with mechanical switches too; mine is about seventeen
years old just because I like it so much and I have a collection of
them for next time I spill my drink on it. But from the review (read it
in full) I get the impression that the force they're talking about is
*way* more than you'd find in your average clicky keyboard. There's no
way your average well-designed mechanical keyswitch keyboard will wear
someone out in a minute; the force required must be extraordinary!
