    They do seem like they’d be satisfying to use

    No, not really, you need to use some strenght, so your fingers start to hurt like hell after short while and you need literally develop calluses for it to stop. And idk what even happens after years of work, but i bet it’s not pleasant considering all professional typewriters i met had hands looking like harpy talons.

    Overall the main pros of this contraption is that it is faster and more legible than handwriting, but it’s completely inferior to computer writing in all aspects except not requiring electricity to work, and that’s also why no one except total nerds and 100 year old fossils use them anymore.
