Mechanical keyboard may not have been designed with gaming in
mind, but they are now practically synonymous with it. After all,
they’re more durable and reliable, and the different switch types mean that
there’s probably something for everyone. And even if all that didn’t matter,
the longer travel distance and tactile feel they offer make them simply
more enjoyable to type on than mushy membrane switches.
Still, these switches – including everything from Cherry MX to variants
like Logitech’s Romer-G and SteelSeries’ QS1 – are not without
their weaknesses. Metal contacts wear out, and poor
implementations of debounce time can either
result in high latencies or repeated key presses.
