Yep, I totally stole this one for my list on stream >:D
I'm so glad this is a category, and slalåm is a great pick. Actually, I think the Norwegian languages all have great mouthfeel in general. There's just something about finding the right rhythm where you start hitting all the consonants just right and it's something special.
This does also make me wonder: what words have good keyboard-feel? QWERTY is so left-hand dominant! I really delight in words that use the right hand more and and alternate sides really nicely.
Point - it has a nice right-to-left rhythm and a dip towards the tail-end to spice things up!
Unknown - The back-and-forth on the N key and then a flourish of symmetry from O to W, followed up with one last friendly check-in with N :3

for mouthfeel, i enjoy a lot of german and french bc of how rough their sounds get, but on the other side of the spectrum i also enjoy dialects that relax the existing sounds. Osaka from Azumanga Daioh was one of my first exposures to the Kansai dialect, and it just rolls off the brain in a way i enjoy a lot.
I prefer ones with letters really close together, like "reset" or "dexterous" where all or most of the word is typed out with a single flick of the wrist. Also ironic that most of dextrous is typed on the sinister side of the keyboard.
Also typing minimum is like a little finger dance. Typing it feels the same way writing it in cursive feels.
Those are the names of some eldritch creatures, I’m sure of it.
Maybe someone was attacked by toxicognathes while raiding the chromatogaster’s crypt or something
