Edgar Matias is one of the big proponents of mechanical keyboards. Matias, the company he founded makes mechanical keyboard as on might have guessed. For a long time, he sought out the ALPS switches to supply his keyboard business. The ALPS switches were used in the older Apple Mac extended keyboards. Those keyboards where extremely popular. ALPS has stopped making these switches, so Matias made his own, while improving the original design.
In the interview, he explains a few things about mechanical keyboards and rubber dome keyboards in general. He also had a neat Q&A on Reddit. This makes me want to try out the Matias/ALPS type of mechanical switches next.
