Home Reference Keyboards A few years ago, a "gaming keyboard" consisted of a regular old membrane keyboard with a few fancy lights slapped on it for good measure. Now, mechanical keyboards are all the rage. Gamers have come to appreciate the responsiveness, durability and versatility that only mechanical switches can having more options on the market also means more potential for confusion. How many different kinds of mechanical switches are there, and what are the differences among them? Which brands should you look at? Consult this handy guide to find buy mechanical?Just in case you're one of the few holdouts who insist that a membrane keyboard is just fine, and you'd rather not spend so much money on your keyboard, take a few minutes to read our guide to mechanical keyboards. The short version Membrane keyboards work by sending an electrical signal between two plastic keyboards, on the other hand, work via a discrete switch underneath each key cap, like at typewriter has. This makes the keyboard not only more rugged and less prone to failure, but also more responsive and comfortable. If you're a PC gamer or accomplished typist and you don't own a mechanical keyboard, getting one could change your life in a small but significant way. How much do mechanical keyboards cost?If you're not picky about brand names, you could get a mechanical keyboard for as little as $60 — or even less, if you're willing to settle for an older model. If you go with a well-known brand, though, tenkeyless mechanical keyboards start at around $80, full-size keyboards cost around $110, while full-size keyboards with RGB lighting can range up to $ vs. TactileTwo words you'll need to know in order to get the most out of this guide are "linear" and "tactile." Almost every mechanical switch is one or the other, and the difference between the two types is easy to understand. To actuate a linear switch, you must push it all the way down, like a membrane key. To actuate a tactile switch, you usually push it about halfway down; you can continue pressing the key after that, but you can also take your finger off and move to the next key right aficionados argue that linear switches are better for gaming, while tactile switches are better for typing. I have no particular feelings on this debate, having successfully used both linear and tactile switches for both MXCherry MX switches are the gold standard for mechanical keyboards. If a manufacturer doesn't use authentic Cherry switches, you can bet that the company will do its best to imitate them. There's no single magical quality that makes Cherries so comfortable and responsive — just good, old-fashioned German engineering and switches from top-left clockwise Red, Black, Brown and Blue Cherries come in a variety of colors, but these are the main ones you'll seeCherry MX Reds are some of the most widespread switches out there, and for good reason. These linear switches require 45 grams of force to actuate. The light touch makes them a good choice for both gaming and typing. The keys are also very quiet, particularly the MX Red Silent variant, which makes them good for office environments or crowded MX Blacks are linear switches that are very similar to Reds, save that they require 60 g of force to actuate. They feel a little more resistant than Reds, and are also available in a Silent MX Browns are some of the most popular switches in gaming keyboards. Browns are tactile switches that require 45 g of force to activate. They don't make much sound, and spring back very quickly after MX Blues are "clicky" switches, meaning they make audible clicking noises every time you depress them, like typewriters of old. Some users find the noise gratifying; others find it insufferable. You won't know until you try. Cherry MX Blues require 50 g of actuation MX Speed or Silver switches are built with gamers in mind. Like Reds, Cherry MX Speeds are linear switches that require 45 g of actuation force. Unlike Reds, though, they travel only mm rather than the standard 2 mm. This theoretically lets gamers pound keys faster — helpful in genres like MOBA League of Legends, Dota 2 and MMO World of Warcraft, Star Wars The Old Republic, where skills are constantly are other types of Cherry keys out there, like the extra-clicky Greens and the resistant Clears, but those varieties are not as common as the ones listed since 2014, Razer has produced mechanical switches for its keyboards in-house. The resulting switches are responsive, comfortable and arguably more durable than Cherry keys. In my tests, they've always fallen just a bit short of authentic Cherry MX switches, but they're still a far sight better than Razer's old membrane Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2 with Razer Green switches Razer Green switches are the company's answer to clicky, tactile keys like the Cherry MX Blues. Razer Greens actuate at 50 g and make rapid-fire typewriter sounds as you Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition with Razer Orange switches Razer Orange switches are a quieter alternative to the Greens, with a slightly lower actuation force of 45 g. Orange switches are tactile, but barely make any sound, making them better-suited to office environments or homes with light Yellow switches target FPS gamers primarily. Unlike the Green and Orange switches, Razer Yellows are linear. They require 45 g of actuation force. Razer says the lack of a tactile bump will make Yellows more attractive to gamers who need to hit keys forcefully and SwitchesPhoto Logitech Logitech engineered its proprietary Romer-Gs from scratch to provide key switches that would benefit gamers specifically. Cherries, as both fans and detractors have pointed out, have always been designed with typing in mind first and foremost. A tactile, quiet switch that requires 45 g of actuation force, Romer-Gs are similar to Cherry MX Browns, but spring back a little Logitech keyboards employ either GL or GX switches, which vary in style and feel, depending on what kind you get. GL switches employ thin keycaps, while GX switches are a little more traditional. The names appended to each switch — linear, tactile, clicky and so forth — will help you determine what the keys feel, and sound, Topre Heaven Keyboard Topre switches aren't too popular this side of the Pacific, but like Spinal Tap, they're really big in Japan. Acting as kind of a midpoint between membrane and mechanical keys, Topres are unusual rubber dome switches that come in interconnected sheets. It's not exactly a membrane design, but not truly mechanical either. Still, Topre keys are quiet and actuate at only 5 g, making them worth considering if you want the lightest touch possible in something a little more durable than a membrane and KailhA lot of second-tier peripheral companies keep costs low by using Greetech or Kailh switches instead of Cherry MXs. Greetech and Kailh are both inexpensive Chinese switch brands. I hesitate to say "cheap," because both brands feel fine; they're just not premium products. Greetech and Kailh switches generally imitate Cherry colors and styles, meaning that a Greetech Red will feel like a Cherry MX Red, a Kailh Brown will feel like a Cherry MX Brown and so Das Keyboard 4C with greentech switches. If you have the money, I'd recommend going for a peripheral with authentic Cherry MX switches. However, if that's not an option for whatever reason Cherry switches are often in short supply, among other things, Greetech and Kailh make passable lineThe kind of switches you'll want depends on whether you want a linear or tactile experience, and whether you prefer quiet or noisy keys. Knowing those two factors will reduce your potential keyboard choices from dozens down to just a possible, buy a keyboard with Cherry MX switches. The gap between Cherries and competing switches is not as wide as it was even a few years ago, but there's a reason Cherry is still the best-known brand on the keyboards are expensive, but unless you insist on having the very latest gadgets, you can often save a few dozen bucks by buying a model that's been recently replaced. Since gaming companies tend to refresh their keyboard lineups every two years or so, you can get some pretty good deals on peripherals that have all kinds of switches if you're willing to forego features like RGB lighting and fancy Check out our guide on how to clean a mechanical keyboard.

Most Popular Whether you bought an off-the-shelf PC or assembled a gaming or office rig yourself, an oft-overlooked part of the computer buying process is sometimes the most important your choice of keyboard. Sure, every keyboard will let you type something and have it show up onscreen. But several crucial components decide whether that typing experience will be enjoyable and comfortable, or merely tolerable. The type of key switch is chief among them. Fail to consider which type of switch is right for you, and you could be robbing yourself of years of comfort, function, and style. This is especially crucial when you're looking for a gaming keyboard or a productivity model with mechanical switches, where a single button press can change the outcome of a match, or the key feel keep you motivated through a long work day writing up those TPM reports and tapping out endless e-mails. Indeed, a mechanical keyboard can be a daily driver that gives you joy every time you sit down in front of it. But in the last few years, the underlying technology in mechanical keyboards has exploded in complexity to an extent, driven by marketing and extreme segmentation catering to keyboard enthusiasts. With so many choices, picking the right mechanical keyboard can be overwhelming. Before you spend a Benjamin or two on the latest and greatest keyboard, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the most important part of the keyboard—the key Is a Mechanical Key Switch? A key switch doesn't refer to the actual tops of the keys you see when you look at a keyboard on your desk those bits are generally called "keycaps", but rather the actual physical mechanism underlying each key. A vast array of switch types pepper today's keyboards, but the most advanced ones are found in gaming and high-end productivity models. Known collectively as "mechanical switches," they deliver satisfying sounds, tactile finger feedback, or smooth operation, or some combination of the three. Each key on a mechanical keyboard includes an individual spring and a surrounding switch mechanism. These keys have a distinct springiness and a feel that's immediately different from the low-cost membrane keyboards that accompany most budget desktop first prominent mechanical key switch came courtesy of IBM's early PCs. Dubbed "buckling spring," this early switch technology refers to the coil spring between the keycap and a pivoting hammer. When pressed, the coil spring bends like elbow macaroni, providing auditory and tactile feedback to the user. This was the standard switch type in the bundled keyboards of the early days of computing. The basic design was further improved by the addition of an electric contact in the famous IBM Model M, which paved the way for the modern dome switch keyboard, a very different animal. The Model M lives on today in the form of several retro-styled keyboards from Unicomp, which licensed the technology.Today, a huge variety of key switches spans the keyboard market. Simplifying matters, most fall into two basic categories mechanical, and rubber dome or "membrane". While mechanical keyboards use individual key mechanisms backed by springs, rubber dome keys utilize a thin, usually dimpled sheet of rubber or silicone the membrane that provides the bounce-back force for each key, as well as providing a semblance of tactile and membrane are two of the most common keyboard types, and you’re likely to encounter a bunch of variants on your search for the perfect keyboard that don't quite fit either class. Opto-mechanical boards may use a combination of a mechanical switch and a light sensor rather than an electrical contact to register a key press, while some keyboard makers, such as Razer, have attempted to hybridize membrane and mechanical boards. We won't get into every outlier technology, but know that membrane is generally the cheaper implementation, and mechanical the premium one. We'll address just mechanical switches here, and here in 2022, the field has wholly exploded in variety and nuance. The Parts of a Key SwitchThe basic anatomy of a conventional mechanical switch is the same across all mechanical keyboards. A switch consists of the following partsKeycap This is the plastic top of the key, with the label a letter, number, or symbol printed on The keycap mounts on a vertical post, or stem, which can be slightly different in design from switch type to switch housing This is the outer enclosure that holds all the parts of a single switch contact leaves This is what registers every The coil spring creates the resistance when you press down on a mechanical key, and pushes the switch back into its resting position. The amount of resistance varies, as we'll get into below. The springs in modern mechanical-keyboard switches compress straight down, as opposed to bending as in the early buckling The slider is what pushes against the spring and breaks the connection between the metal contact leaves. Key-switch and keyboard makers and marketers! also use their own set of lingo to describe features and capabilities. Some terms you'll come across include the following Actuation Point Measured from the top of the keycap, the actuation point is the distance into the down-press at which the switch registers an input. A smaller actuation-point measurement means the key registers a press with less downward motion, in theory meaning a faster reaction time to finger This is the maximum distance a switch can depress, and is larger than the actuation Time Debouncing is a signal-processing technique that ensures only one signal is registered on a press. Reset Point The distance from top to which the key needs to rebound for the switch to be ready for another potential No, it's not a horrible keyboard disease; hysteresis is simply when the actuation point and the reset point are not the Switch Colors and What They Mean Clicky, Linear, or Tactile?The most prominent key-switch manufacturer is the German firm Cherry AG, which provides many different kinds of mechanical key switches to the industry, each identified by a different color. The Cherry MX line is the one by far most familiar to consumers, though the company also makes a huge variety of switches and similar components for industrial and other use. It is considered, by many keyboard aficionados, to be the gold standard, but that standing is certainly debatable in the far corners of the keyboard-enthusiast world. Cherry isn’t the only mechanical key-switch manufacturer, however. Indeed, far from it Some of the big keyboard makers, such as Razer and Logitech, have gotten into the switch game, and some third-party switch makers make Cherry-"equivalent" keys, as well as plenty with their own spins on Cherry classics. Logitech, for one, claims its Romer-G switches, found on many of the company's own gaming keyboards, have a longer lifespan and a shorter travel distance than their Cherry counterparts. Razer also has a bevy of different key switches available only on its further complicate things, each type of key switch, regardless of the company that makes it, typically has one of three behaviors linear, clicky, or tactile. Linear keys mean that each key press is smooth, while clicky switches feature a bump at a certain point of travel, followed by a sharp click, when a button press is registered. Because of this, they are also tactile switches, in that you feel the activation in a clicky switch in addition to hearing it. Tactile switches are essentially the same as clicky ones, though without the distinct click at the end though most still make some noise when depressed firmly.Then there is the issue of key-switch "color." Cherry in years past set the standards for what a typical key-switch "behavior" is, by coding each of its switches with a color. These colors have become, largely, the accepted lingua franca among the mechanical-keyboard set. Many of the key-switch imitation makers adhere to the same color scheme and behaviors, while some non-Cherry vendors have branched out and introduced their own colors with distinct sets of traits. Still, mechanical key switches are by and large distinguished by Cherry or Cherry-equivalent colors, which differentiate their traits, feel, and best use case. The color system is looser nowadays than ever, but when the colors are the same across brands, that typically means you can expect similar traits to the Cherry MX type of that color. A Gateron G Pro Red switch will share most of the traits of a classic Cherry MX Red, for example. Be sure to take a look at the manufacturer's website for any significant differences in switch characteristics, but these are the usual common colorsRed keys are linear keys that provide smooth presses with no clicks. That doesn't mean they're silent, but they’re usually among the quietest of all of the key colors. Yellow and Black switches also share these characteristics, though Black switches are often "heavier" in feel and offer more resistance to your finger. More about them below.Blue keys are clicky keys. The Cherry MX Blue is the classic clicky switch beloved by legions of typists and often hated by their office colleagues and roommates for the clatter they make. They’re loud, with the switches letting out a pronounced clicking noise when triggered, giving your keyboard a typewriter switches are tactile switches and are usually the most versatile. They offer much the same feedback "feel" under your fingers as the clicky keys, but without the pronounced click though they are generally not silent. Considered a middle ground between clicky and linear, tactile switches are a good choice for those looking for feedback without all the switches are best for heavy-handed typists. They have among the highest actuation force ratings, meaning you need to tap them hard for them to register. They tend to be used not in gaming or everyday work keyboards, but for point-of-sale or data-entry usage, where you want to avoid stray keystrokes but won't type for extended periods. Rarely seen are Green keys, which have an even stiffer feel and higher actuation switches are the lightest key switches you can find. Soft to the touch, the white key switch should appeal to certain accurate speed typists, but may prove too light for some gamers. They're rare, are just the most common switch colors you'll come across in the wild. As noted, some keyboard makers employ still other colors of the rainbow to define the characteristics of their brand's unique key Brands and Their Mechanical Switches A GuideAs noted, while Cherry may be the market leader in the world of key switches as well as the longest-lived trend-setter and the lingo inspirer, no shortage of competitors and copycats have sprung up in recent years to tempt your fingers. While most mechanical key switches share some DNA with Cherry switches and stems, expect plenty of differences across brands as you shop the wide world of mechanical keyboards. Here is a guide to the most MX SwitchesThe crème de la crème for most, Cherry specifically, the Cherry MX line is the most popular brand of keyboard switches—and for good reason. They’re some of the most reliable switches on the market. Cherry cut the template on which most other modern key switches are modeled. Note that Cherry makes some of its own branded keyboards they're mainly productivity-focused models, but not all Cherry-brand keyboards use Cherry MX mechanical of keyboard manufacturers use Cherry's MX line as the source for their key switches, and tout that as a point of distinction. Thus, the keyboards that use them tend to be mainstream or premium models. Here's a look at the wide range of switches you may see in Cherry MX-based consumer keyboards...The Cherry MX Reds are a top pick among gamers and enthusiasts alike, but many typists find they are too sensitive and lead to typos. The MX Blues, meanwhile, are the classic pick for writers and all-day typists; the MX Black are for error-reducing, more plodding input tasks; and the MX Browns are a happy medium for many in terms of actuation force, noise, and tactile MX Speed models have a lesser actuation point to enable quick key presses, and the low-profile switches are meant for thin keyboard designs. The low-profile switches may or may not be paired with "Speed" traits for fast reaction times. Kailh Kaihua SwitchesOne of the most prominent Cherry "clones" is the jam-packed Kailh key-switch family, made by the China-based switch manufacturer Kaihua. Kaihua also manufactures some branded switches not under its name for other keyboard makers. Many of the Kailh switches are close to identical to similarly named Cherry MX switches, and they share a lot of the lingo. Because of that, some Kailh switches are compatible with keycaps designed for Cherry MX switches. Kailh switches tend to be more affordable compared to their Cherry counterparts, so you'll tend to see them in budget-priced mechanical keyboards. Kailh makes a truly vast variety of switches, and it's impossible to detail them all here. This list below only scratches the surface of the Kailh switch portfolio...Note The "Box" variants of Kailh switches have a square rim surrounding the key stem. This added structure under the keycap boosts the stability of the key when it is pressed, but the Box design requires a compatible keycap if you are switching out Box keycaps. The Kailh ML, meanwhile, are low-profile switches geared toward thin keyboards meant for fast-twitch reaction times. Some users tend to find that Kailh key switches have a less-smooth press-down action than equivalent Cherry switches do, with a bit more perceived abrasion in the keypress; in our reviews, we have noted this on occasion. But this, and the degree of it, varies by the specific Kailh switch type. While Kailhs tend to be found in budget gaming keyboards, they also appear in some premium models like the excellent Kinesis TKO. Gateron SwitchesAnother major switch manufacturer from China, Gateron is another popular Cherry clone with a wide range of colors, including Yellow, White, and Green variants. Recognized as considerably smoother than its counterparts, Gateron switches are quite popular among keyboard aesthetes and enthusiasts, particularly for those who enjoy a clean, fuss-free typing experience. Here's a look at the common Gateron switches you may encounter in consumer gaming and productivity boards...Gaterons tend to appear in higher-end specialized keyboards that cater to the keyboard-geek set. One excellent Gateron keyboard is the NZXT Function Mini TKL. Razer and Logitech SwitchesThese two mass-market brands should be familiar to anyone who has frequented the aisles of a major electronics retailer over the years. Both make their own switches, nowadays. Here is a summary of the most common Razer and Logitech key-switch options...Razer has long been associated with gamers and the gamer aesthetic, and so their key switches are made with gaming in mind. That said, the company has branched out of late into productivity-minded models. The classic Razer Green switch is what you’ll find in most Razer products. It’s tactile and clicky, like a mix of Brown and Blue switches from other companies. Razer Yellow switches are the fastest and quietest of its bunch, and the Orange switch is tactile and silent. We won't discuss here Razer's variants such as mecha-membrane or opto-mechanical, which are interesting in their own right but are not "classic" mechanical designs.As for Logitech, the peripherals giant making both productivity and gaming keyboards has designed switches that come in two different flavors low-profile GL switches that come in the clicky, tactile, and linear variants, and its gaming-centric Logitech Romer-G keys that resemble your standard mechanical switch design. Logitech Romer-G keys come in three different color profiles. GX Blue is made for those who like clicky keys. GX Brown is quiet and tactile, and GX Red is a linear switch made for rapid button presses. Romer-G Tactile and Romer-G Linear, as well as a Pro series, round out the Logitech and Roccat SwitchesIn an effort to develop a key switch of its own, SteelSeries partnered with Kaihua to develop the QS1, a quiet and light key made for fast-paced gaming. The short total travel distance 3mm, with a actuation point helps the keys rebound quicker after bottoming out, while the light actuation force 45g and the actuation point make spamming button presses mechanical keyboards, meanwhile, make use of the Titan, a tactile, silent, and heavy switch that’s geared toward both gaming and ordinary typing. Complete with carefully tuned actuation characteristics, the Titan reduces switch bouncing thanks to high-quality components. Roccat also pairs the switches with ultra-thin, lightweight keycaps. They help to reduce the weight the switch has to push against to bounce back. Titan switches come currently in Tactile Brown and Linear Red variants. Both feature 45g actuation-force ratings and travel distance, with and actuation points, Mechanical Switch Is Right for You?Choosing the right gaming keyboard can seem daunting. Still, if you settle on a winner with switches that suit your style, it can improve your gaming experience tenfold, not to mention your everyday typing needs. Whether you decide to go with something high-end or budget-friendly, understanding key switch basics will help you choose the keyboard that matches your play then, is a cheat sheet to use against the grids of key-switch types outlined play fast-twitch type games. Cherry MX Red and equivalent switches may be your best bet. For maximum responsiveness, look for a key switch with "Speed" in the name and/or a relatively short actuation point that is, a small number is better. They may go hand in hand. You're an avid typist, like audible or tactile feedback, and don't have colleagues or family to disturb with your typing. Cherry MX Blue and equivalent clicky switches are the best place to start. They are markedly noisy, which is satisfying to some but may be untenable depending on where and around whom you work or above, but you have people nearby who won't appreciate lots of clicky noise. The Cherry MX Brown and equivalent tactile switches are a good compromise pick between clicky and quieter types. You'll get the satisfying feel under your fingers of knowing when a key is activated without quite the cacaphony. Note that some vendors offer "Silent" versions of existing key switches. These may be a variant of the switch with a damper or O-ring on each key to reduce the noise when the key bottoms out. Adding a damper to an existing switch design usually reduces total travel distance, do careful, basic data entry, but not a lot of extended typing. This is a good match for the Cherry MX Black and equivalent switches.
