For gamers, mechanical keyboards are preferred for their tactile feedback, better response and accuracy, and the removable mechanical switches in many models allow them to have more control over every keypress’ sound and register. In fact, modifying mechanical keyboards has become a hobby in itself for a lot of tech enthusiasts – spawning many DIY modification tutorial videos on YouTube and dedicated online discussion forums.

However, mechanical keyboards aren’t just for gamers. Programmers, writers and other office workers who type for hours on end find that mechanical keyboards provide a much better typing experience. And thanks to RGB backlighting and customizable keycaps, they’re more fun to use, too. Mechanical keyboards are considerably more expensive than the most common membrane keyboards, though – owing to the sturdier build quality that allows these keyboards to last for years and offer customization options.
