Mechanical Keyboards A Comprehensive Guide
Mechanical keyboards derive their name from the mechanical switches used in each key. Most other standalone keyboards use rubber domes to suspend their keycaps and carbon pads to complete the circuit when you press a key. This setup (which mirrors a TV remote button) can feel mushy and imprecise to type on, and can wear out relatively quickly. Mechanical keyboards replace those domes with a metal spring and those pads with a metal leaf. A precision made plastic stem rides on the spring and closes the circuit by pushing the flexible leaf. Cherry MX keycap sets provides a more precise feel as well as greater longevity. It also allows for extremely customizable switch parameters, including spring weight, actuation point, tactile feedback, and more.

While the industry long ago left behind the buckling spring switches used in the Model M, the modern equivalents provide the same quality and tactility, while also supporting expanded sound, resistance, and actuation depth options. This makes it possible for both off-the-shelf and custom-built models to be tuned for practical typists, hardcore gamers, or productivity experts.

All of these technical variables might seem intimidating at first. That's why we've put together this guide to help you understand the various components that go into a board, how those components affect your user experience, and which options might be right for you. Whether you're planning to buy a pre-built, entry-level mechanical keyboard, or you're going to dive straight in and build your own custom-designed model, read on to learn everything you'll need to know about cases, circuit boards, mounting plates, switches, and keycaps.
