 "summary": "Since two months I have been using a mechanical keyboard, a NuPhy Air60 with Moss (60gf) switches. I long doubted the value of replacing my standard keyboard, liking keyboards from Apple and Framework enough not to switch. After reading lots of love from others, I decided to try it myself.",

 "text": "The Typing Experience\nCompared to the standard keyboards, individual keys feel more intentional, you can clearly feel and hear each press (much to the appreciation of folks in the same room... *\"takkeherrie!\"*). While you may not realise it at first, this 'richer awareness' while typing adds to a rhythmic feel. It's kind of like playing a musical instrument, where different kinds of texts have their own vibe: e.g. programming with it 'sounds and feels different' than writing an email. The Moss (60gf) switches are known to maximise this effect with pronounced audible and tactile feedback.\nConclusion\nTwo months in I simply love it, it has become my main and only keyboard. I use it in combination with iPad, Vision Pro and my Framework laptop. If you're unsure if a mechanical keyboard is something for you, I can only recommend to try it yourself - maybe it clicks for you, too!",
