Programming Throwdown Episode 83 Teaching Kids to Code. Take it away, Jason.

Hey everybody, so something pretty interesting happened.

I knocked over a bottle of Coke, and Coke went absolutely everywhere. This was about a week ago.

Completely ruined my keyboard that I bought a long, long time ago. And so I went on Amazon. I found out the keyboards are way cheaper now.

I bought a mechanical keyboard.

Actually, I don't know, like I bought a mechanical keyboard way back,

but either I just forgot or I wasn't paying attention.

But basically there's colors for the switches.

And the color doesn't just mean, because at first it was like cherry red and the keyboard's black.

It didn't make any sense.

But basically, the colors correspond to how the key feels.

So if you have cherry red, that's the softest setting.

Basically, the softer the keyboard is,

kind of, at least in my opinion, the better it feels,

but the less you're sort of, let's say, guaranteed

to press the button.

So you know, if it's really hard and it makes a big kind of click sound,

like I think the blue mechanical switch does this. It makes a big kind of click sound when you press. That to me is kind of annoying, but it looks like you know that you press that key. Like there's no in between. So I chose, I think there's brown, which is in the middle. I chose cherry red and i love it i think it's great i mean i haven't

had an issue actually it took a little bit of getting used to so you know in the beginning like

sometimes i wouldn't totally hit the key but at this point now like you know i i haven't had any

issues and i like the way it feels and so it's a lot cheaper so that's kind of what I'm what

I'm typing on right now so I didn't know for a long time about I guess are called mechanical keyboards
