As opposed to a laptop keyboard? Definitely.

More than just laptop keyboards. Its a class of keyboard that is generally uncommon due to price but I find the extra $40 or so I'd need to spend worth it.

I'm old enough to remember a office full of 'klackers', :o
Yeah I still have one around somewhere. I do like them better than rubber domes, but I use a rubber dome.

While my fingers love the physical feedback, they don't love how tiring they are.

I can only relate from my experience and given that I'm a heavy handed typist, that combined with an IBM Model M keyboard (that big-ass scary thing with fully mechanical switching), tired my hands out after an hour or so.

The Model M's have significantly stiffer switches (iirc they have the buckling spring design which requires ~25% more force) than any Cherry MX I've ever used. But to each their own. ;) I can type on mine for hours and not notice any strain.

The Model M was a hand-me-down. I'm going to be looking for a new keyboard so I might try the Cherry.

The least force to depress switch, that is common, is a brown cherry iirc.

I believe that was so when people changed from the IBM 'Selectric' typewriter the keyboard would feel more comfortable to them.Quote from Eros on June 15th, 2011, 07:36 PM The Model M's have significantly stiffer switches (iirc they have the buckling spring design which requires ~25% more force) than any Cherry MX I've ever used.
