Agreed. It’s one thing when you’re typing on a screen that fits in your hand, but going larger and not having any kind of feeback or differentiation between keys makes it just feel cheap and wrong to me. It kind of reminds me of my first computer in the late ‘70’s - an Atari with the plastic keyboard that wasn’t really a keyboard. I hated it. It was even worse that typing on glass because you had to push on the “keys” hard enough to get the button sensor below the plastic cover to click for it to register your input. Back then I had learned basic typing first on a non-electric typewriter, so it wasn’t so out of place to have to push hard on each key, but without having any movement like you do with a typewriter, it was just so unnatural in how it worked (or didn’t).
It’s funny how there is this subset of computer users today using new “old” mechanical keyboards, that have tons of key travel and the clickety clack sound to them. I dig the throwback appeal, but given the number of times I need to multi-task while on conference calls, I really don’t want everyone to hear me type on the call.
