Now there been lots of hype about mechanical keyboards but people mostly brag without actually trying it themselves. Is there anyone here who can speak from PERSONAL experience that mechanical is better and why? I am aiming for G510 so far which is not mechanical. But I am confused cuz of all this hype. | ||

Well, I think everyone who have tried a mechanical keyboard will assure you that it is way better. Why ? It provides better comfort, simply. The feeling of typing is very different, and for most users, better. (it takes a little time to adapt). In my opinion : if you want to put some money in a keyboard, buy a mechanical keyboard. I've always found that expensive membrane keyboard don't worth it. If you don't care that much about some optional macro keys, and other gadget, there is no reason to put money in a gaming membrane keyboard, because you will have the same feeling as a classic 20$ Logitech or even a 15$ Dell keyboard. The price difference is in the design and, like I said, some useless stuff. So... if you want to put money in a keyboard, I advice you to get a mechanical one (there are some different feeling of typing, because there are some different switches which are not the same at all, you should read this guide or this one). If not, just buy a good classic Samsung DT 35. | ||

 As a matter of fact I went for g510 cause it has 3 in a row on the left side. Is there any other good mechanical alternative with 3 rows of G keys? | ||

For busy office environments or areas where noise is an issue then membrane is better | ||

I am actually using a cherry g80-3000 with white switches and so I can tell from personell experience that mechanical switches a superior in feeling and durabilty compared to rubber dome ones. I also have two old G15 Keyboards lying around which I used before and actually really liked. If I use them now to setup another PC for example, they feel really terrible. Just give it a try. | ||

I find it better than membrane keyboards. The feeling of a mechanical key is different, but in my opinion the difference is not that big. I bottom out keys so things like "bumps" or "clicks" are irrelevant to me. I am using Cherry MX brown keys and can barely feel the "bumps" they provide. They are there, but I have to concentrate to notice them. I feel as if I am typing faster and I think that's because the keys are a bit lighter and they snap back really fast. I am still getting used to typing on a mechanical keyboard, because the switches are just a little bit smaller than those on my old, membrane keyboard. That little difference per key adds up and I very rarely hit the button next to the one I wanted to press. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I would advise you to test a mechanical keyboard before buying one, preferably testing different switch types. I find it hard to translate the feeling of typing on a mechanical keyboard into words, but I hope my response is beneficial to you. P.S. If you are going to spend a lot of money on a keyboard, get a mechanical one. They are without a doubt of higher quality than membrane keyboards. The only reason I see for not buying a mechanical keyboard is if you really don't like the feeling of typing on why. That's why I advised you to test before you buy. For the price of a G510s I found a mechanical keyboard with macro keys made by TTesports - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823162023 | ||

I know it's worth but since I'm not addicted to mechanical keyboards yet I can save money by still being satisified with shitty rubber domes. | ||

If I had to go with a mechanical keyboard I would want to most sober looking mx brown keyboard. Can't find anything like that for cheap and I'm not the guy to spend money on something which I already have. ^^ i'm such a cheap person wtf | ||
