Linus Torvalds Returns to Clicky Mechanical Keyboard
2025-05-13
Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, has returned to his trusty clicky mechanical keyboard after a six-month experiment with a quieter, low-profile alternative. He found the audible and tactile feedback crucial to reducing typing errors. Despite working from home, he initially blamed his recent typos on the keyboard (later shifting blame to autocorrect). Meanwhile, progress on the Linux 6.15 kernel release is proceeding smoothly, with a release expected in two weeks.
