mechanical keyboard vs normal

[TimZy]

Hello guys,

 

I have heard a lot of good things about mechanical keyboards, but I´ve also heard that they type quite loud which I don´t like. (I Skype a lot) I have  seen this keyboard, which which has fast reaction time because the keys aren't that high, Roccat Isku FX Multicolor gaming. Is a mechanical keyboard a lot more different than a normal keyboard?

The typing experience is different on a mechanical keyboard. Most people like it over normal keyboards, but some don't. If you don't like loud keys, you can pick up a keyboard with the CherryMX Black switches.

Try them out before you buy if you have the opportunity

All chery mx switches are louder than normal membranes/scissor switches if you bottom out.

I bottom out, I hate mechanical s, membranes are comfortable (Chiclets ones)

Cherry MX blacks are still pretty loud! I would go for Cherry MX Browns with O rings.

I was referring to the switch. Not people bottoming out.

that's true. But most people do bottom out that will be coming from membrane. To yes I would suggest O rings perhaps that Logitech one.  Logitech G710+

 

Also ask these guys about anything and They'll answer I'm like 80% sure

but still brown switches on there own aren't suppose to be loud as well, and also Reds don't either if you were talking about switches on there own... out of the MX series only blues on their own are loud D:

Have you tried Topre Switches ? I haven't but they are supposed to be like a mix between (feel wise) mechanical and membrane.

 

 

In essence, the Topre switch feels first like a refined rubber dome and second in some ways reminiscent of some mechanical-contact switches such as the Cherry MX Red and Cream Alps.

Are the blue MX's much louder than normal keyboards? I'm thinking of buying the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013, good choice?

MX Blues are many multitudes louder than a traditional membrane keyboard (In my experience, the loudest of all the Cherry MX Switches). I'd recommend going for a Ducky instead, or something from CM Storm if you're more budget oriented.

MX Blues are very loud (in comparison to non-mechanical). I'm typing this on Blues right now. It's currently 11pm and I'm trying not to bottom out my presses because the tactile "click" is loud enough to be heard in the next room if it's dead quiet let alone a full press. I'm using a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013. The Stealth Edition uses Browns which are a bit quieter.

They aren't good for family households + late night gaming. E.g. Me right now.

Needless to say, they're amazing to type on when you go hard.

I love to type on my Filco Ninja blue switch. After a few months, I realize that my mechanical keyboard is precious. There is difference when you go to mechanical keyboard and switch back to membrane. So far from my experience from using them for several months. It seems like I only go back to membrane and rages when I playing a serious typing game and FPS gaming. In my opinion and feelings, if the money isn't bothering or hurt you each time stabbing the keys down on the metal plate and planning to buy new mechanical keyboard in the future, then go for the rough use. This is only my experiences when using the mechanical keyboard vs membrane. Membrane is just cheap and I like to rage press it freedomly anytime I want .

The typing feeling is just different. Usually it takes time to adjust if you are using a mechanical keyboard for the first time, but once you get used to it....in most cases people just don't want to go back to using membrane keyboards. Also, mechanical keyboards last. They're sturdy and durable. Sure they are more expensive, but you'll probably just buy 1 for the rest of your life OK maybe not that long, but at least for many years
