Used to slap my spacebar like it owed me money, now I tap it with one finger
Two years ago I typed like I was mad at the keyboard. Full palm slam on the spacebar, loud enough that my roommate in our Columbus apartment asked if I was playing drums at 1am. Then my old membrane board died and I switched to a board with brown switches, and the sound changed into this hollow thock that made me actually listen to what I was doing. Around March I noticed my left thumb was sore, so I started tapping the spacebar with just the tip of my thumb instead of mashing it flat. Weird part is the click got quieter but way more satisfying, a clean little pop instead of a wet slap. Now I sit at my desk and pick out single keys just to hear them, which my girlfriend says is not normal behavior for a 34 year old man. Anyone else change how hard they press once they actually started paying attention to the noise?

Did you try lighter switches too, or just change how you press?
