Mechanical Keyboards.

Does any one use these and would they recommend them? Just looking for some user opinions on here

This is a very vague question and there are a ton of threads about opinions on mechanical keyboards.

Generally, I would say that banging your fingers on a mechanical keyboard is much more satisfying, and accurate, than a membrane keyboard.

I really like them and would recommend one with Cherry switches. You can get different types of switches eg quieter louder etc (differentiated by colour) to suit your taste.

As above, read the other threads for more info

Thank you for the link, that's great stuff.

Having just brought my first mechanical keyboard I have to say I wouldn't go back to anything else.
I'm even thinking of buying one to use at work.

Just got one today and I think my £10 dell is easier to type with but I may get to like it, it does feel nice.

I have heard they take a while to get use to but are really worth it from what I've read.

They're really great once you get used to them. Now I've changed to one, I don't think I can ever go back to a normal keyboard!

If you are really used to membrane keyboards topre switches may be more your thing. You will get used to typing on a cherry keyboards reasonably quickly

They are quite different so will feel strange at first but I am sure that given a few hours you will find the positive engagement action of mechanical keys easier and more accurate

Looks like I'm going mechanical then.
