Links: LITEON keyboard - cheap keyboard, no frills, very quiet, durable. Probably uses some kind of membrane switch. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823107119 Majestouch Tactile Touch NKRO (brown cherry switch) http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=filco_keyboards,majestouch_104key&pid=fkbn104meb Good faq on the various switches http://www.elitekeyboards.com/support.php?lang=en#faq Frequently Asked Questions What is a mechanical switch keyboard? Most keyboards that either come with a computer for free these days or are purchased for next to nothing at the local computer mart use inexpensive "rubber dome" or "membrane" contacts under the keys that have a mushy feel, lack tactile feedback, and must be fully depressed in order to be detected. The result can be an uncomfortable and tiring typing experience. Mechanical keyboards on the other hand utilize an individual mechanical switch underneath each key that provides consistent actuation. Such switches are usually only used for industrial applications due to their price. The benefit of these mechanical switches is comfort, increased typing speeds, and lifetime. Mechanical switches are rated for millions of key presses. In its lifetime a high quality mechanical switch based keyboard will provide a reliable and pleasurable typing experience for a long time to come, outliving several cheaper keyboards. | ||

Also curious if anyone has used other mechanical keyboards as well, and how the M1 compares to those.

lol I buy mine for $10 at a local computer store in a bin, to be honest i can't recognize any difference between a $10 keyboard and a $100 keyboard except the $100 keyboard has a bunch of useless features | ||
