Frequently asked questions

Are mechanical keyboards worth it over membrane ones?

For heavy typists and gamers, usually yes, since mechanical switches give crisper feedback, last longer, and feel more consistent. If you just need something quiet and cheap for light office use, a good membrane keyboard does the job fine.

What should I look for in a gaming keyboard?

Prioritize the switch type that suits your feel, anti-ghosting or N-key rollover so simultaneous presses register, and a solid build that won't flex. Backlighting and a compact layout are nice extras, not requirements.

Wired or wireless keyboard, which is better?

Wired is the safe pick for the lowest latency and never worrying about batteries, which matters most for competitive gaming. Wireless wins on a cleaner desk and flexibility, and modern ones are fast enough that most people won't feel a difference in everyday use.
