People who type on loud clacky keyboards in open place workspaces are psychopaths. The keyboard is not balanced on the desk as well, so it rocks when being smashed by its user, adding to the wall of sound.

mechanical keyboards are fucking fantastic and do not belong in the workplace
unless you're all devs and insane anyway
so many hugs
