Is a mechanical keyboard useful?

Hello

 

I use my pc for graphic design, 3D design, rendering, animation, and movie making and some gaming.

 

Is a mechanical keyboard useful for me?

For gaming, yes. For all that other stuff, no, you won't benefit. If you have some extra cash to burn then invest in a K70 or G710+, if gaming matters to you.

Its nice just to have a better feel.

Does the quicker responce and all that matter?

IMO no, thats why im on a 1998 mechanical keyboard

It's mostly just a luxury item.

There is no translatable performance benefit between a membrane and mechanical keyboard with similar features except switches. Mechanical keyboards are more comfortable to type on, and tend to be built better because they are on average more expensive. People say one benefit of mechanical keyboards are that they have better build quality than membrane keyboards.... and they should, they cost 50 to 100 dollars more! 

 

I've been using the same ducky for 3 years and while i've had urges to get a smaller 60% keyboard, I probably won't need to buy another keyboard for a very long time.

More expensive but they feel a little nicer to use.

Depends, how fast can you type on your current keyboard?

Subjective man!
