That says a lot, and it makes sense too. The advantages of a mechanical over a regular membrane board really can't be denied. Compared to a regular rubber dome keyboard (which is what most consumer grade boards are) each key on a mechanical plank houses a complete switch underneath it with its own housing, spring, and so on. This gives you a much crisper and precise typing/gaming sensation compared to a rubber dome board, because the latter uses a sheet of rubber that's laid out over the circuitry of the keyboard with a little dome underneath each key. Said dome depresses when you press a key, causing the top of the dome (which is coated with a conductive material on the inside) to make contact with the circuitry to register a key press, but that whole process can feel mushy, imprecise, and unsatisfying. The gif on the right is an illustration (source: HyperX) of how a mechanical switch works. The beauty with this (and another one of the major advantages) is that there's a whole variety of switches to choose from, each with their own distinct characteristics and feeling. We've got an entire library article dedicated to the most popular switches on the market right now, so if you're interested in learning more about the differences between those you can always go read up on that. So we've established that a mechanical keyboard gives you a much more precise and responsive user experience with tons of options to fine tune said experience, but the advantages do not end there. Mechanical keyboards last way longer, too. Most regular consumer boards are rated for anywhere between 1 to 5 million keystrokes, while Cherry MX switches (the most popular mechanical switches) are rated for about 50 million, with a lot of other brands going even higher than that. So while a mechanical keyboard is a pretty large investment at first it should outlast plenty of rubber dome keyboards. Additionally you can also pick from a wide variety of different sizes and layouts with mechanical boards. As you'll see further down in the article a very popular size is the TKL (tenkeyless) keyboard. Most games don't make use of the numpad so in the interest of saving space you can just leave that off and save yourself some desk real estate to swipe your mouse around. You can also go even smaller if you don't need/want the arrow keys. It can go the other way too; if you've got a big desk and you want to get a full-featured keyboard with a comfy wrist rest, extra multimedia keys, macro buttons, and so on you can get that too. The possibilities are nearly endless, so no matter what your individual needs and preferences are: there's gonna be a mechanical keyboard out there that fits you like a glove. In short: if you're asking us you should go with a mechanical keyboard. It might be a bit of an investment at first, but if you take care of it it'll last you for years and years to come while giving you a comfortable, pleasant, and precise typing/gaming experience.
