Have you ever typed on a non-gasket mounted metal keyboard?

Starts to physically hurt after a while.

Logitech isn't all metal. It's plastic and metal.

I mean like a 4 pound block of aluminum like an NK65

yeah maybe the difference is just very subtle. I was using a G513 and I'm pretty sure the keys are mounted on a plate of aluminium, the rest of the keyboard was probably plastic.

Yeah the rest of the KB is the thing here. Plastic has flex. I typed on Logitechs and know that they feel fine.

I had an NK65 for about 2 years and it would just hurt my fingertips after a while of use, because I bottom out and the keys would slam on an unmoving block of aluminum.

Think of it like tapping your fingers fairly hard on your desk top for 6 hours straight.

I like it, but like everything else in this hobby, it comes down to preference. I tend to prefer a hard bottom out. Probably related to my preference for tactile switches.
