What’s the difference between mechanical keyboards and normal keyboards? Why do pro gamers prefer mechanical keyboards?
In: Technology
Mechanical keyboards are mostly about the touch really. There are different standards for the key switches so you can consistently buy keyboards that feel a certain way. Many people think that in general mechanical keyboards feel better than the membrane ones but it’s purely subjective.
Also membrane keys tend to suffer more degradation over use, resulting in some keys softer than others on old keyboards.
Another diference is that mechanical keyboards usually support a higher number of simultaneous key presses, which may appeal to some pro gamers. You can still find membrane keyboards that are good enough in that matter though.
