Cherry was the cheap alternative to Alps switches, which were the most commonly used switches after buckling spring.

And once Cherry got pretty much a monopoly on mechanical switches, they are now charging more for those switches than an ALPS one, which has become a lot rarer. ALPS is still popular for mice though.

... but they aren't the monopoly anymore and instead of splitting hairs about longevity and consistency, people should rather embrace the fact that there is variety in the market of Cherry MX style switches now. Some of them even surpass Cherry MX in terms of type-feeling.

i was five when my grandpa died. he was a typewriter repairman. never knew it until 2002ish where i had the highest WPM (in middle school) on modern a computer/keyboard, and my dad told me about him. apparently grandpa was a hunt and pecker, and never serviced computers. but he did "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" quicker than I ever could. it was his last test before finishing a job

Wait, Cherry got their start on Amiga keyboards??? You learn something new every day!

Just picked up an IBM Model F AT. Awesome board!!

when my wireless keyboard with touchpad got ruined by coffee spill, I did a lot of research for my next keyboard, and wanted a mechanical keyboard. and finally went with a simulated mechanical keyboard with backlighting, by Red Gear. :) like said, the feedback of the keys pressing feels really good

Love u linus!

Awesome research guys..

Amazing, I love the video

This video is very brief (in a dubious way) about everything in general. Beam spring switches existed since the early 70s, and typewriters were converted for computer use since the 60s. The earlier buckling spring used capacitive sending rather than direct contact.

No joke. I've always been curious about this

Can you do the history of the cell phone? it seems like a good series to start. Almost as good as the factory tours in LTT. FYI mobile phones go back to when we cracked the human genome and boy bands roamed the earth alongside the majestic stone temple pilots.

No mention of QWERTZ? Would've been nice to know why that layout is fairly popular as well while having mostly the same letter layout but all the symbols at different positions.

Thank you but there are a few things you missed (I know , I was there). The IMSAI 8080 had a keyboard cable that was very thick because every mechanical key was a switch. There was no serial interface. A large connector with 50? connections sent the discrete signal to a transistor causing it to go high or low. /// The membrane switch was better than the mechanical but were popular because they were cheaper ($$$). The were supplanted by the Hall-Effect switch. ///The connector was a Large (1/2" cylindrical) 6 pin (Serial comm@ 5VDC) going in the 90"s. Then PS2, Then USB, then wireless.

You missed a couple of amusing elements - The original 'PC' layout keyboard had 10 function keys grouped on the left, so things like the ever popular alt+F4 were a simple muscle-memory command. The upper levels of IBM, surprised at the popularity of the PC, decided they should be running things. One of their first ideas was to give the machine a proper keyboard, y'know like a teleprinter with the function keys along the top, giving rise to the shift+alt+left elbow method of working. Some of the better ideas died the death as machines came with a keyboard, notable integrated pointing devices. At one time I had a Keycat board with a (IIRC) 3" track ball in place of the numeric keypad. Brilliant for graphics working (and games) but they used a 25 pin serial connector. The IBM Trackpoint keyboard is still available (although only the two-button version) and it is unquestionably a superbly built board with excellent keys (and not requiring a mouse saves a lot of desk space) but it is pricy by my standards (I still want one). The best upgrade for the modern super-cheap scratch pad with its 'click here at random' feature (as used on portable entertainment devices) is a strip of old computer case bent into a U shape to slip over the thing to prevent it messing up your work (I used to just turn them off but one came to life unexpectedly and damn near cost me a weeks worth of work).

what was that glorious looking keyboard before the optical switch graphic?

Would like to hear the history of the different keys' functionality - that is, when where they introduced

4:45 nice pillow back there

Doritos crums? Nono, a hot soldering iron falling to the wrong side is more dangerous for my keyboard

I wonder what Techquickie will be like in 20 years.

3:40 The IBM model M still had a membrane under the switch

I would like you to make a video of AVX and AVX2 (talking about processors) to explain what it is and if it is really important and for what is it 🤩 hope you consider it

0:40 there are discussions about this. One theory is that it was influenced by telegraph operators when translating Morse "The code represents Z as ‘· · · ·’ which is often confused with the digram SE, more frequently-used than Z. Sometimes Morse receivers in United States cannot determine whether Z or SE is applicable, especially in the first letter(s) of a word, before they receive following letters. Thus S ought to be placed near by both Z and E on the keyboard for Morse receivers to type them quickly (by the same reason C ought to be placed near by IE. But, in fact, C was more often confused with S)."

There have been a few attempt to prove and disprove the reason for the layout, but generally it's believed that it has nothing to do with the mechanical function of the typewriter because there's no proof of that whatsoever. It's most likely an urban legend that came from the original reason being lost

When linus doesn't mention alps(*triggered*)

Damn thats some set-up 6:07 for a quick shot :P

You need to add captions to the video!

QWERTY became common because those early typewriters were much higher quality than anything available at the time, so they sold well and people got used to the layout. Changing the layout would've meant retraining people who were used to it, which would've meant a massive loss in productivity (in a time where everything was done on paper), so they had to stick with the layout

@4:39 Better quality does not necessarily mean something special. Praising Cherry MX switches for longevity and consistence is like praising MC Donalds burgers for having consistent and adequate quality. Cherry MX switches are the Big Macs of keyboard switches. They are above average in all categories but excellent in none.

Yeah!

i enjoy feedback. can't stand laptop flat boards, I need a bit of elevation (keep your keyboards legs in the stand position~) the weirdest keyboard i used was a flat gel one thats gimmick was it could fold and you could clean spills off of. it was fine because i didn't buy it, and it never went wonky or anything, i just prefer a standard keyboard with 10-key on the side. gosh i miss phones having physical keyboards

Since they came out with quiet keyboards I have never wanted one of the noisy mechanical things ever again!

Everyone's talking about Max at 4:44 but they all miss out on the yoko body pillow lol

Good video

I want a Keyboard like the Left-Handed one that is curved!!! Are there any like that today??

Most keyboard in 1980s and early 90s were either mechanical (ALPS, Vintage Cherry, NMB Space Invader) or very high quality membrane with various mechanism that is far better than plain dome like Mitsumi KPQ this one use buckling sleeve, their linear variant is KPR which instead of buckling sleeve it use spring. Mitsumi also use PCB in their KKQ and KKR keyboard. Keyboard they later came with dome with a slider like BTC, Fujitsu Peerless, and NMB Keyboard quality start to decline when Windows 95 came out with a plain rubberdome not even a dome with slider either although some did still come with dome with a slider like NMB. But in 2000s NMB stop producing keyboard with Dome with Slider and now NMB is very similar to Silitek which also now similar to generic Chinese rubberdome in everything from feels and sounds. Even a modern mechanical keyboard kinda all the same. Example Outemu, Gateron Blue both are like Cherry MX Blue all similar in design and sounds although this is getting better.

3:15 skip to this time to know keyboards in the 70s

wat is the 66 macro key keyboard called?

No Alps, Topre, or Hall Effect?

When alot of people argue QWERTY vs DVORAK, they seem to forget that a basic ABCDEF layout might be alot more useful for non-typists.

Laptop sleep sensors don't use a reed switch, they are using a hall effect sensor.

Whismerhill Gaming ghosting is when a keyboard cannot compute more then a certain amount of keys, so if you pressed too many at once, some of them would not work.

A guess there was no time to mention the failure that was the butterfly keyboards that were common in MacBooks until 2019 or so.
