What helped me reset was learning to draw from another perspective. I took Dan Roams "The Back of the Napkin" to learn drawing for business and workshop documentation, then expanded that into other areas. That shift helped to ignore the urge of "my hand just uses line work like always"

They now switched to a windows laptop. Still no success. The Gen Alpha started to get impatient and starts tapping on the laptop screen on every icon available.

Neither of them reads anything. The Gen Alpha just looks for videos and complains about so many text in the installation screens and the boomer just randomly clicks around and asks if they have to pay anything because they just accepted a license agreement.

Honestly no real difference for most mechanical keyboards, as they can adapt to both windows and Mac. Many prebuilds even include extra Mac key caps (keychron, iqunix, ..).

Here's an overview of some popular ones (see PDF there): spkeyboards.com/blogs/produc...

Others unfortunately are proprietary and only used by one keyboard manufacturer.
Mount styles and the switches they fit
The keycap mount refers to the molded plastic piece on the underside of each keycap that allows it to attach to the keyboard switch.

Pull out one keycap to check the mounting style, or look it up online, many manufacturers have the info on their sites & specs for the keyboard.
