Maybe? I've never touched one and I'm not rich or idle enough to buy into an entirely new paradigm. My desk is the size of a coffin as well, so I've got to fill it up with something. Might as well be a huge keyboard that sounds like a box of staplers falling down the stairs.
My experience is like a mirror opposite; nearly all mechanical keyboards are less than 100%, and my productivity would nosedive if I had to hunt and peck numbers.
You might not be wrong overall, but I thought it was funny that my anecdote is fully the opposite.
Yeah fuck buying things for life - I am now buying things for death
