Frequently asked questions

What is mechanical vs normal keyboard?
A mechanical keyboard uses individual mechanical switches under each key to register keypresses, offering tactile feedback and durability, unlike normal (membrane) keyboards which use a softer, less tactile rubber dome and membrane system.
How many years does a mechanical keyboard last?
Mechanical keyboards are known for their longevity, typically lasting between 10 to 15 years, depending on usage and maintenance. Their durable switches can handle millions of keystrokes.
What are the disadvantages of a mechanical keyboard?
The disadvantages of a mechanical keyboard include higher cost, louder typing noise, and often a bulkier size compared to membrane keyboards. They may also require more frequent cleaning due to the gaps between the keys.
What is the difference between a mechanical keyboard and a regular keyboard?

A mechanical keyboard uses individual mechanical switches for each key, offering better tactile feedback and durability. A regular keyboard, often a membrane, or rubber dome type, uses pressure pads. Mechanical keyboards are generally preferred for typing and gaming, while regular keyboards are more common and affordable.

What are the 3 types of mechanical keyboards?

The three main types of mechanical keyboards are linear, tactile, and clicky. Linear switches provide smooth key presses without feedback, tactile switches offer a noticeable bump, and clicky switches produce both a tactile bump and an audible click. Each type caters to different preferences.

How to identify a mechanical keyboard?

To identify a mechanical keyboard, look for individual switches under each key, which produce a distinct clicking sound and tactile feedback. Mechanical keyboards are generally heavier and more durable compared to membrane keyboards. They often advertise their specific switch type, like Cherry MX or Razer.

Is a mechanical keyboard good for long typing?

Mechanical keyboards can be good for long typing sessions as they offer tactile feedback and precise key presses, which many users find comfortable and satisfying. However, preference varies, and some may find them noisier or bulkier than membrane keyboards. Personal comfort and typing style are key factors.
