That's why I have 7 different brands of switches all different types on my keyboard.

Wouldn't that make it easier for the AI?

But it's the rubber dome keys that make up his password keys. The mechs are just a distraction.

Not if you randomly jumple and replace the switches before typing each password

... or just use a password manager like a sensible person.

You're right but...which part of this exchange implied anyone trying to be sensible?

Yes, but if it was specifically trained on your particular keyboard.

Or if you want to go further, have foamed + plate mount + mixed lubed and unlubed switch + different color of switch on top of mixed brands of cherry mx, kailh, gateron, outemu and or lesser known/premium switches on single keyboard, the cost may be unusually high and need custom printed pcb.

Maybe you'll need to get use to typing on it as now comprised of various tactility and feedback feel.
