I’ve tried to write on those things and they’re such a hassle. The loud ass “ding” throws me off every time I’m deeply concentrating. The electric ones are much better.
I’ve never actually written on one. I have played with one in a museum as a kid, but just enough to see how they work mechanically. No paper or ink involved
They do seem like they’d be satisfying to use, maybe enough to get used to the noises and accept them as part of the process. The part that I’d find annoying is correcting mistakes. Nobody’s a perfect typist no matter how much practice they get and maybe if my alternative were hand writing I wouldn’t find it so bad but when I have computers at my disposal idk if I could put up with like a 3 step process to correct a typo
The mistake can be rectified any time. Take away his typewriter, or whatever the fuck old assholes like him prefer to write on
