They leave no doubt when you\u2019ve pressed a key, and many people type faster and more accurately because of it.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re also better for your health, especially if you\u2019re a heavy typist. They have longer travel that requires your fingers to move through a greater distance to complete a keystroke, requiring less force.<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself typing for hours at a time, you\u2019re much less likely to develop strain injuries using a mechanical keyboard.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"whattolookforinamechanicalkeyboard\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Look_for_in_a_Mechanical_Keyboard\"><\/span>What to Look for in a Mechanical Keyboard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few things you should weigh up when choosing a mechanical keyboard.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"selecttherightkeyboardlayout\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Select_the_right_keyboard_layout\"><\/span>Select the right keyboard layout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the most appealing things about mechanical keyboards is that there is so much variety. That starts with the keyboard layout. You choose whether to include function keys, cursor keys, a numeric keypad, and more.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you might want dedicated media keys or programmable macro keys. You may need a numeric keyboard, or prefer the smaller size of a keyboard without one.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the main keyboard layouts used by mechanical keyboards:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>100% or full-size, typically 104 keys, including the alpha block, function keys, cursor keys, numeric keypad.<\/li>\n<li>80% or TKL (tenkeyless), typically 87 keys including the alpha block, function keys, cursor keys.<\/li>\n<li>75%, typically 82 keys including most of the keys on a TKL keyboard combined into a single block to be more compact.<\/li>\n<li>65%, typically 68 keys including just the alpha block and most cursor keys.<\/li>\n<li>60%, typically 60 keys and the alpha block only.<\/li>\n<li>40%, typically 49 keys made of a minimal alpha block layout where many keys serve two functions and require the use of a second key.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this roundup, I\u2019ve assumed most developers prefer lots of keys on their workhorse keyboard and recommend 100% or TKL. However, if you prefer something more portable, most keyboard manufacturers offer a range of sizes.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"thechoiceofswitchesdeterminesyourtypingexperience\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_choice_of_switches_determines_your_typing_experience\"><\/span>The choice of switches determines your typing experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many developers agonize over the choice of mechanical switches, because this makes the greatest difference to how your keyboard will feel and sound. While you may find the descriptions below helpful, you\u2019ll make a much better choice if you can find a way to test the different switches in person.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the more popular brands of mechanical switches and the main switch types that are available.<\/p>\n<p>Cherry MX Switches (used by Corsair, Kinesis):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Red switches are linear<\/li>\n<li>Brown switches are tactile<\/li>\n<li>Blue switches are clicky<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/switchandclick.com\/gateron-switch-guide-budget-friendly-and-smooth\/\">Gateron Switches<\/a> (used by SteelSeries, Keychron):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Red and yellow switches are linear and quiet<\/li>\n<li>Blue and green switches are clicky<\/li>\n<li>Brown switches are tactile and gentle<\/li>\n<li>Black switches are linear and gentle<\/li>\n<li>White switches are linear and quiet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/switchandclick.com\/outemu-switches-are-they-good\/\">Outemu Switches<\/a> (used by Redragon):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brown switches are tactile<\/li>\n<li>Blue switches are tactile and clicky<\/li>\n<li>Red and black switches are linear<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.logitechg.com\/en-au\/innovation\/mechanical-switches.html\">Logitech<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.razer.com\/\">Razer<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hyperxgaming.com\">HyperX<\/a> make their own range of mechanical switches.<\/p>\n<p>Some companies, like Razer and Gateron, offer optical switches. They\u2019re faster because they communicate keystrokes using infrared light rather than an electrical contact. They\u2019re ideal for gaming, but probably don\u2019t offer any real benefit when coding.<\/p>\n<p>So far, we\u2019ve just described the switches. The actual keys that are attached to the switches are called \u201ckey caps\u201d, and they can usually be switched out as well. Many colors and styles are available if you want to personalize your keyboard.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"highprofileorlowprofile\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High_profile_or_low_profile\"><\/span>High profile or low profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most mechanical keyboards use high profile keys with long travel, meaning that your fingers need to move further to press the keys down. These make it less likely to encounter repetitive strain injury.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re used to normal laptop keys, it may take time to get used to this. As a result, Gateron, Logitech, and Razer all offer low profile mechanical switches. These come midway between high profile switches and laptop keyboards.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"programmablekeysandmacros\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Programmable_keys_and_macros\"><\/span>Programmable keys and macros<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many developers want to personalize their typing experience by creating macros and alternate keyboard layouts. Some keyboards, like the Corsair K100 and Logitech G915, offer additional keys that can be used to trigger your macros.<\/p>\n<p>And although there are plenty of scripting and macro applications available, many mechanical keyboards come with their own software:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Razer Blackwidow Elite: Razer Hypershift software<\/li>\n<li>Corsair K100: iCUE application<\/li>\n<li>Kinesis Advantage 2: SmartSet programming engine<\/li>\n<li>SteelSeries Apex Pro: SteelSeries Engine<\/li>\n<li>HyperX Alloy Elite 2: HyperX NGENUITY software<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, a small number of keyboards, such as the Logitech G915, come with onboard memory to store and run your macros directly from the keyboard. You can then rely on your macros to work no matter which computer you\u2019ve plugged your keyboard into.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"weightmaybeimportanttoyou\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weight_may_be_important_to_you\"><\/span>Weight may be important to you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your keyboard is just going to sit on your desk, then weight won\u2019t be an issue. But if you want a portable keyboard, it may be one of the deciding factors.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the weights of the keyboards included in this roundup, sorted from lightest to heaviest:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keychron K1: 2.1 lbs (0.95 kg)<\/li>\n<li>SteelSeries Apex Pro: 2.14 lbs (0.97 kg)<\/li>\n<li>Kinesis Advantage 2: 2.2 lbs (1.0 kg)<\/li>\n<li>Logitech G915: 2.26 lbs (1.025 kg)<\/li>\n<li>Redragon K556: 2.60 lbs (1.18 kg)<\/li>\n<li>Corsair K100: 2.89 lbs (1.31 kg)<\/li>\n<li>HyperX Alloy Elite 2: 3.31 lbs (1.5 kg)<\/li>\n<li>Razer Blackwidow Elite: 3.69 lbs (1.67 kg)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"wiredorwireless\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wired_or_wireless\"><\/span>Wired or wireless<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most mechanical keyboards are wired. This has benefits, such as less latency, resulting in a more responsive experience. It also means you\u2019ll never have to charge a battery, and that could be an issue given that most mechanical keyboards are backlit.<\/p>\n<p>If you use your keyboard with the same computer at the same desk every day, there&#8217;s little downside to using a wired keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>However, some companies do offer wireless mechanical keyboards. We only include two in this roundup:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Logitech G915 (30 hours battery)<\/li>\n<li>Keychron K1 (10 hours battery)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These keyboards can also be plugged in to your computer and use USB bus power. To maximize the battery life when using them wirelessly, you may wish to dim or disable the backlight.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"extrafeatures\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Extra_features\"><\/span>Extra features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many keyboards offer additional features, such as a wrist rest or detachable cable.
