Reply to comment by JaggyJeff in Mac user tried Mechanical keyboard and also create his own keyboard (link in the comment section) by kishiki18_91

Yes. Linus just like to perpetuate the “Apple fanboy” stereotype for clicks. Damn near every developer I know uses a MacBook Pro for work

Well, I am a developer too and I know quite a few too. Almost none of those working with Macs use a custom mechanical keyboard or even an off-the-shelf one.

Not much need for it on a laptop, but I have a Q2 at the office for when I’m on external monitors. It’s also important to note that this hobby is pretty niche and a majority of mechanical keyboards are mass marketed toward gamers. You get Hermés or Herman-Miller in the keeb game and management with drop stacks though

The fact that one uses/manipulates a tool several hours a day with a liking of technology and the mechanical keyboard remains niche? What is wrong?
