Best for you

I did a words-per-minute typing test “for fun” last week.

And I tested my speed on multiple keyboards, ’cus why not.

First, my mechanical keyboard with brown switches. I thought this would be the fastest run, not least of all because it’s a blast to type on.

Second, one of Apple’s magic keyboards from the box of not-in-use-right-now tech. I thought this would be the slower one.

To my surprise, I was faster on the magic keyboard.

And not by a little. But by quite a lot.

Even though I “feel less accurate” on it, I’m actually faster on it.

Even though many enthusiastic keyboard Redditors would say it’s impossible, I’m still actually faster on it.

Even though I kind of wanted it to be the other way around, I’m still actually faster on it.

Take-away: Use not what others say is best for you, or best for most people, with the best reviews and ratings. Use what is actually best for you.
