Mechanic keyboard

[Arwanell]

are mechanical keyboards really that great?

everyone says they have them and love them

even on youtube all techies have them

 

i currently have Razer Arctosa and its membrane (i got it from friend)

it's very good, but i was thinking of buying mechanical one

I had an Arctosa and switched to K70 from corsair... mechanicals are da ballz!

They are really awesome.

They last longer, they feel comfortable to type with, and the best thing about them is there is a switch for everyone.

Yes. When 989347893486 people love something, that's usually an indicator.

 

Another (even bigger indicator) is you probably HAVEN'T heard someone say: I hate mechanical keyboards.

If they have, it's probably because his/her grandma died while they were typing on it (or a like-scenario) and just hold it against the item.

 

 

But yeah man.. I absolutely love mine. There's nothing to not love about mechanical keyboards.. They're designed better looking, gaming focused, with better materials, much sturdier and harder to break, they have most of the features and.. oh yeah.. They feel great, mechanically.

If you're happy with your membrane keyboard then it's fine. Mechanical keyboards tend to feel more direct, whether tactile, clicky, or super responsive. (like my reds, but want browns)

They are certainly a luxury, but if you want a nicer feeling typing experience mechanical offers greater feel and there are many switch types to get the perfect keyboard

 

That said, for gaming uses it doenst make that much difference

The only downside to mechanical keyboards that I can think of is that they are usually much more expensive than membrane ones.

If you want to go balls to the wall: K70 RGB

 

If you want to go to the wall with something other than your balls: K70 Non RGB

I do have one problem with k-series non RGB keyboards. The led's on them aren't exactly the longest lasting. My k95 looks like it's got the pox, there's so many dead LED's

Red switches, are very light, low actuation pressure with minimal needed movement. Brown's are probably the closest tactile switch to reds. They add a tactile "bump" at the point of actuation.

My advice to anyone thinking of buying a mechanical keyboard is try before you buy. See if you can find somewhere with a variety of switches, try them out, pick the one's you like best, then choose a keyboard that has the features you want, and supports the switches you like.

IMO it's far more important to have switches suited to you, than pretty colours.
