Flaubert & BitForge
I’ve been tinkering with a little gear‑shift switch that clicks just right—like a perfect punctuation mark—so I wondered if a writer’s touch on a keyboard might be more about tactile rhythm than digital speed. What do you think, Flaubert?
A satisfying click does give a kind of rhythm, but a writer’s touch is ultimately a search for nuance, not merely the feel of a key; the real craft is in the choice of words.
Yeah, the click is the metronome of my day, but I can’t help noticing that words still need that little extra punch—like a well‑tuned spring that snaps back, not just a smooth glide. What’s your go‑to word that feels like a satisfying click?
I’m partial to “crisp.” The consonant rushes, the vowel snaps back – it feels like a tiny, satisfying click.
Crisp, huh? That little 'c' is like a gear catching just right, a quick snap that feels almost tangible. I’ll have to give my switch a try with a word that’s got that same tightness. Thanks for the pick—maybe I’ll get a bit more clicky in my next prototype.
