A chiclet membrane to go over your non-mechanical keyboard, it’s like double hell.

Sounds like typing on a keyboard made of Jujubes.

Actually, my giant mechanical Blackwidow keyboard is way easier to use than my laptop when my nails are long.

How can it be easier to use keys with traditional keyswitches? You’d have more key travel.

I’ve switched out keycaps to make them comfortable for me. You can customise them. I find it very hare to type on a laptop keyboard for a long time and it fucks up my posture.

I’m not a fan of the long nails because it hurts my insides.

Also fecal matter and bacteria are stored in abundance under long nails.

This thing costs about the same as one good set of nails

Typing with long nails is the embodiment of “beauty is pain.”

The pain is real, but the beauty is subjective.

I will never forget when I had to help a coworker with her laptop, she had long nails that had worn grooves in her keyboard keys.

She typed on her nails, the sound it made was terrible.

Ew. Most people I’ve seen w/ long nails type with the pads of their fingers, with absolutely terrible typing posture.

It’ was a status thing. Those with manual labor jobs usually can’t have long nails, so long nails means they’re above manual labor. So the rich in the past did that, and now everybody wants to do that so and it becomes a beauty thing.

A solution to a self inflicted problem.

And? Nearly everything is a self inflicted problem. You could just lay down and stop bothering, so why don’t you do that?

Do I like long nails? Hell no. Does it affect me if somebody buys this keyboard to type and have long nails? Also hell no.

Ergonomic chairs are also a solution to an often self-inflicted problem. Mainly doing all kinds of things to your body when you’re young that you don’t realize you’ll regret when you’re older.

Are ergonomic chairs a bad thing?

Long nails can look pretty, and while I’m sure this would help people with long nails, I think it would just give me an RSI or just be differently frustrating.

No thanks. I’ll paint my short nails so I can—you know—use my hands. And that’s free.
