Just wondering.

I’m wondering which one to get for myself.

Thanks!

    I currently have a mechanical one, I like these more but I gotta say that even the linear ones (which as far as I know are the quietest) are fairly noisy. Oh and they are also generally more expensive.

      I see. I just find them easier to move my hands over them.

          Look up mechanical keyboards and linear keyboards on Google or Yandex or Bing. There are those with bulky buttons and those with smooth services (non-bulky keys).

              Typing in general. Switching from one key to the next. Weirdly enough, sometimes I find it hard to have my fingers brush over the keys and then press down.

          Having a mechanical and non-mechanical corsair keyboard, the non-mechanical keys feel tighter together, stiffer, and feel like their getting in each others way while pressing them. The mechanical keys feel more individualized, softer, the key presses feel like they have plenty of space. As you’re moving your hand over the mechanical keys, the keys have a slight give, the ridges of the keys feels more pronounced. The mechanical keyboard feels bigger and more spacious despite having the same footprint.

    I far prefer mechanical, specifically linear switches and keyboards with nice solid frames and typing feel. I’d even buy another one to use at work if it wouldn’t annoy the hell out of my coworkers.

    Mechanical is a much better keyboard but you’ll pay for it. You can find a fairly decent non-mechanical keyboard for maybe $50 or you can spend twice that much or more for a mechanical. The benefit is that its smoother, more tactile, more reliable. If you can afford a better keyboard then get one.

    Mechanical specifically an Anne Pro 2 with Gateron Red switches

    They’re incredibly smooth and soft without the springy feel of other linear switches. I feel like I can type faster because mechanical keyboards actuate before bottoming out.

    Non mechanical. I generally choose keyboard based on how it feel to press the buttons, and mechanical never feel good.

      Plus, sometimes it’s hard for my fingers to switch keys.

    Personally I like mechanical keyboards more just because of the tactile feeling of the keys and I like the clicky noises, also they tend to feel more robust. Pro-tip: get a 3/4ths keyboard instead of a full one, it saves you some cash and desk space. The ones I’ve tried are Keychron A2 and my current HyperX Alloy (I loved my Keychron one until I accidentally spilled orange juice on it and killed it). My current one works fine and I have no real qualms with it other than that the key mapping is really unintuitive if you use a Linux based system, but that seems to be true for most keyboards tbh. They both cost around 70 euro, so make of that what you will. If you decide on a mechanical keyboard be mindful of the switches in it, as they are optimised for different types of usage (like gaming or long-form and frequent writing). Also be aware that switch quality is brand dependant so you need to do a little research of you want to be sure they are up to snuff.
