Re: "Is lateral key stability a thing? I feel like some..."

In: s/mechanical-keyboards

my cherry mx compatible key caps are all nice and tight (needs a tool to remove) but the switches themselves are a bit squiggly. would probably be a very expensive keyboard if they weren't though...

I just realized that my Unicomp keyboard has very little switch wiggle. And my Matias is quite wiggly in comparison. But the unicomp is super noisy. I can only use it home when nobody is trying to sleep, and not at work.

Is lateral key stability a thing? I feel like some keyboards have less “wiggly” keycaps. Because my hand position roams over the keyboard as I type, I’m always hitting keys at oblique angles, so this wiggle is a noticeable factor in my experience.
