You can find this pattern again and again. How many redditors say 120fps is essential for gaming or absolutely require a mechanical keyboard?
I don't get the mechanical keyboard one, though. I am fine with any keyboard, I just like my mechanical keyboard at home. Just like I am fine with any chair, but ideally I would have a chair I like at home.
120fps I have no experience with, but I would imagine it's closer to video quality. Once you're used to watching everything in 4K, probably it feels frustrating to watch a 1080p video. But when 4K did not exist, it was not a need. I actively try to not get used to 4K because I don't want to "create the need" for it :-).
I love my Aeron chair. I've had it for fifteen years and it's still in great shape.
I used to have chronic back pain. Getting good ergonomics at home really put that to bed.
I suggest not worrying too much about that - been using a big 4K TV with lots of 4K movies for a long time now and SD content is still as watchable as ever.
For framerates, especially in an interactive context, this is what happens though in my experience. But it also really depends what happens on screen - more movement needs higher framerates to feel smooth.
For jujutsu, it's fine on your own computer, but you probably have to use git in the CI or on remote servers. And you probably started with git, so moving to jujutsu was an added effort (similar to dvorak).
That's not a problem, just switch to Qwerty when you use a different computer. For me at least, it's not hard at all to switch between Dvorak and Qwerty.
Sure, but you had to learn both. And what benefit did you get from learning Dvorak?
I feel the same with jujutsu: I have to learn it on top of git, and I don't see a lot of benefits from knowing it.
More comfortable typing, less wrist strain, etc. It's just a better layout.
Same deal with jj vs. git. I've learned git. I've used it for 15 years. I'm proficient with it. I'm sure jj is better - but I'm not sure it's better enough to be worthwhile.
Those don't fit the others - they don't really require the user to adapt or are more complex in any way but are just nicer versions of the standard.
Marketing made up this story about linear switches being for gamers. So now every mechanical keyboard needs to make unnecessary noise and offer extra resistance for harder bottom out or you're not a serious typist.
But that's not inherent to the keyboard. Linear switches are not any louder than cheapo office high-profile membrane.
Gamers want mechanical keyswitches with no click at all. (Cherry brown I think)
The most popular type of switch is brown because it's essentially a linear switch that is not marketed towards gamers. It's just sad.
Low profile scissors are a compromise. They are tactile but it's for once functional as it compensates for the obvious lack of travel. The result is a mediocre but still above average experience. You can type fast on them but with more fatigue than high-profile linear.
Marketers want you to believe there's at least three different distinct switch types for different purposes because they want to sell you the same keyboard twice or thrice. But in reality there's linear and stupid. And some of them make unnecessary noise. Some of them make really sweet nostalgia noises like Alps switches but it's still a worse typing experience.
There really isn't any reason not to choose one except for price - and that's a fair consideration if you're fine with rubber domes or other alternatives.
