What It Feels Like to Type On
The Mechanical switches define how this keyboard feels in use. Switch choice is personal - what feels great to one typist can feel wrong to another, so it's worth knowing what category these fall into before committing. At $25.99, plastic chassis and basic ABS keycaps are expected - the spend goes into making the switches feel right rather than premium materials.
Worth noting on the MageGee Light84 Transparent specifically - reviews repeatedly flag "Transparent design" as a standout.
