What Is a Mechanical Keyboard? Simple breakdown (vs regular keyboards)

So what is a mechanical keyboard (vs a regular keyboard)? Here’s a simple breakdown!

Mechanical keyboards are computer keyboards that use a physical switch underneath each key, rather than the cheap rubber membranes found in most β€œregular” keyboards. These keyboards feel & sound different from common keyboards. You can even customize the look, feel, sound, size, and more.

  1. Just heard about mechanical keyboard and questioned, “mechanical keyboard? What? Is there a diffrence?” And well, here i am after watching the video, great information, but unfortunatly i dont like that clicking noise that much, especially those large keypads, i only want to use the flat ones as they just feel nicer to move on. Either way thanks for this great explanation, tho i now need knowledge about membrane keyboards

  2. Dude, I have loved that same logitech illuminated keyboard for about 15 years. I makes me sad to watch you smash it. After it’s long life, some keys are starting to glitch and cleaning it is quite difficult. But, please don’t smash functioning hardware. Someone else could use it.
