You don’t need a new Mac. You need a new keyboard

The useful part

If it's more than an hour or two, there's one upgrade you can make that will transform your experience in an instant: a mechanical keyboard. This simple change can step up your productivity and make typing the most comfortable it's ever been. I'd never go back to Apple's Magic Keyboard, never mind any of the thousands of cheap and nasty rubber-dome alternatives that flood the market.

How it works

• Each time you press a key, it moves downward on a spring-loaded mechanism, sends a signal to macOS, then moves back up.
• How much time do you spend in front of your Mac every day?
• Pure typing bliss As the name suggests, a mechanical keyboard is defined by the mechanical switches that lie underneath its keycaps.
• Conversely, on a standard keyboard such as Apple's Magic Keyboard, the keycap sits atop a rubber dome.
• As you push the key, it moves downward onto the dome, which squishes down and actuates the key press.

What to take from it

There are several problems with this rubber dome system. The soft dome wears down over time, reducing the consistency of its interaction with the keyboard's contact points and potentially introducing errors in your typing.

Details worth keeping

I've been using and reviewing Mac-friendly mechanical keyboards for years. It really is something you have to feel to understand.
