I'll just say: you can definitely practice enough with any kind of keyboard switches and get your muscle memory up to a point where the clicky feedback doesn't really give much of a benefit. Surely when it comes to raw speed, the tactile feedback is negligible. But I'm sure it has a large impact on typing fatigue. I've noticed with the choc switches that my fingers are much less tired after work. There is very little travel. And the ergonomics of a column-staggered split keyboard are amazing.
Well… membrane kbs suck. Once you’re into mechanical, yeah it’s a question of preference and familiarity.
Finding what works for you is part of the fun, though.
Matter of opinion. I kind of like them in a way.
Choc switches on my Voyager are (low profile) mechanical switches. 🤷♂️ Just not clicky. I also have a WASD V3 keyboard with Cherry silent reds. They were aight, I guess.
