A Hollow Click

I strode past the edge of the mousepad and kicked a stray plastic keycap. Clack. It slid across the smooth desk and bounced off a heavy mechanical keyboard. Amusing. I stepped onto the spacebar with one foot, testing the resistance beneath my heel. The spring groaned, sinking under my weight before snapping straight back up with a sharp metallic clatter. Heh... stiff, but thoroughly obedient. I planted both feet across the switch and stood tall, letting the faint blue backlighting cut across the desk. Not a bad throne for an idle evening.
