My New Das Cherry Blue Keyboard

I now have a new Das mechanical blue keyboard (on sale). First off the click is not nearly as loud as I expected. I like the lighter touch and the audible feedback is great. I can see why people prefer a mechanical keyboard. The bad news is using a normal keyboard feels much worse now. Ignorance was bliss.

The experience is hard to describe but definitely better with mechanical. I can't say the world is changed forever but I'm please to have it. It feels like I need to use better typing posture than the sloppy hand movements I have become accustomed to using. Maybe I should say it benefits from a better key strike or encourages better key strikes. Or maybe it is all part of acclimating to the mechanical keyboard. This one does not have the wrist wrest that my old one had so is actually more tiring. I may need to find some way to incorporate a wrest but don't know what that would be yet.
