Mechanical keyboards feel better than membrane, but switch choice changes everything.

Switch Types

  • Linear: Smooth, quiet, best for gaming.
  • Tactile: Small bump, great for typing.
  • Clicky: Loud click, satisfying but office-unfriendly.

Layouts

Full-size, TKL (tenkeyless), 60%, and 75%. Smaller saves desk space; full-size keeps the numpad.

Top Picks

Keychron Q1 for customization, Logitech G915 for wireless gaming, and Keychron K2 for everyday typing.
