It hurts because it's kinda true ;)

@rl_dane I mean, the click is nice, but mostly I like not having to buy 4-8 keyboards a year.

@dmoonfire

You actually wear through keyboards that fast?

@rl_dane Yes and no, but mostly yes. The keyboards they gave me at work started squeaking after a month, the letters are worn off by month three, and usually some key rips or starts to stick somewhere between the second and third month.

Plus, the kids are hard on the keyboards in a food/liquid type of destruction.

When I last tried to guess what I was doing, it was around 750k strokes/month between fiction, non-fiction, and programming. Though, I don't have that kind of time (the second child really killed my free time) but some of those habits are there given how long my responses are on social media. :P

Even with a mechanical keyboard, I seem to be replacing them about once every nine months.

There is a reason Cherry Blue keyboards are banned in the office. :D I was told it sounded too much like a gatling gun starting up and it got worse when someone said something stupid and not based on reality (I response with wall of text way too easily).

@rl_dane I may also have a "little" excessive force when I type. :P

@dmoonfire

My buddy @dfloyd888 really sounded like he was trying to shoot down a Zero or something when he typed. XD

Of course, I haven't seen him in like 25-30ish years, so maybe he's quieter now.
