And me over here using the same Natural Elite membrane keyboards for work since the turn of the millennium. My only keyboard enthusiasm is for the key layout that I'm used to when coding. 😄

I did buy a Logitech wireless whose switches are described as "Linear Tactile Clicky" which feels pretty nice, but I only use it for the odd input for my Bazzite gaming machine in the living room.

Could someone explain to me the appeal of custom mechanical keyboards?

I still have one of these on hand for when I need peripherals on my file server or I'm working on someone else's PC (don't like touching other people's crud). For a membrane keyboard I think it's actually fairly nice. If I end up getting another keyboard though it will be getting donated to someone.

That said mechanical keyboards have a much better feel to them and are more customizable so you can get exactly what you want.
