    Maybe it's just me but I love the keyboard on my Lenovo Y545 (front-load like the Alienware) You don't have to press the key down a bit before it has any effect, the instant it moves, the action happens (moving, jumping, etc.). I like the certainty of knowing at the exact instant that it will actuate instead of pressing down a bit before it goes

      ​@@ferretforrent1144 And that is still a size so insignificant to a corporation the size of Dell that they won't even think twice. And, in reality, of that 13.4 million, only about 1/10th to 1/15 watch the videos on average. Which is already a number so small to a corporation the size of Dell that any negative effect it's likely to have is within a rounding error. And, let's face it. Of that...say, 0.9-1.8 million viewers, only a small percentage of them are in the market for a computer or laptop during any one particular year. And, between that time frame and the sheer number of videos, the majority of those people will pretty much just remember, "Huh, LTT does a lot of videos about Dell" rather than any particular detail.
      Pretty much the worst consequence that will happen out of this is that the PR rep that sampled the device to LTT might get reprimanded or fired. Otherwise, Dell really just doesn't care. For every 1 person that learns anything of value from this video, there's thousands that will just go to Dell to buy a laptop because there was one that was cheap and because Dell is a huge manufacturer, so "they have to be good, right?".

      Technically, no it cannot.
      A sentence should cover one idea/thing/part. By contrast, a paragraph should contain how the idea/thing relates to the wider context. (speaking in the broadest sense of what those words can mean)
      Therefore, whenever a paragraph is one sentence, it's actually a badly-written and underdeveloped paragraph. It's incomplete.

    Thing is, I've always enjoyed thinkpad laptop keyboards even after trying out mechanical ones. Sure, they are not as good, but they are a close second for some reason. I really do not see a reason for mechanical switches to be used on laptops. Having said that, I would love to one day be able to feel no difference when using a full size standalone mechanical keyboard and a laptop keyboard.

    7:30 I don't think the actuation point on the graph is correct. The graph suggests the force required increases gradually, then increases suddenly to the point of activation, before dropping off again. Surely the required force would increase - let's say linearly - up to the point of activation, then drop suddenly as shown. (I'm ignoring the increase in force up until it bottoms out).

    I'm pretty sure it is hard making a slim mechanical switch for laptops since they also still have to fit everything else.
    That being said, I'm not sure why everyone is raging over mechanical switches, I don't really feel any big difference between the two and some keyboards even feel the same.
    But that is just me, I understand why keyboard enthusiasts would care, because keyboard enthusiasts know and has more experience with the finer details that I don't have experience in.

    I appreciate your application of ISO 9000 management standards. It's frustrating to have an employer who smacks you down (or just fires you outright, in my case) for showing a gram of initiative.

      @@marcusmeyer3266 Unfortunately since I use one of those gaming keypad things (currently using the Tartarus V2) I don't have any other options unless I went with a second-hand product. The only other option from Razer is one with analog keys which would mean no tactile actuation point which, having used things like the c64 keyboard, is not something I'm going to put up with since I know I'd get absolutely no use out of the analog capability.
