Best praise vs top criticism for Matias Tactile Pro

Best Praise

+13 pts

“I'm a big fan of Matias switches and anything Alps. I use the Tactile Pro with my Mac mini at my desk and love the Matias switches and the 3 USB ports in the keyboard. So, I bought the Tactile Pro mini for use with my laptop. I love the fact that the keycaps show the additional symbols you can type when you hold down the Option and Shift+Option keys. These designs are pretty old. I hope Matias comes out with new models that have USB-C and are programmable.”

“ >I think the heavy weight zael clickeez are the loudest I've ever heard The original full size Matias Tactile. It's not just a loud switch; I think the whole keyboard is designed to amplify the whacking. I live alone and the thing is still too damn loud.”
