They offer no tangible benefit and are only popular because pseudonerds are impressionable faggots who seek to be validated by other pseudonerds.
>NKRO No single piece of software requires more than 6KRO which most membrane boards support.
>They're durable Fuck off, I can buy 3 keyboards that would last me 15 years and still save $100.
>They operate better The time it takes to push a key down can be measured in microseconds. There's no speed increase. In fact, blue switches require you to fully release the key to reset it. (Making them garbage for gaming. If you have MX Blues for gaming, kill yourself).
I type just fine on membrane boards, so does 99.999% the rest of the population.
>You can customise them Nice pussy deflector, loser. Nobody is impressed by your fucking keyboard.
I went from normal to mechanical a year or so ago and will never go back to a normal board. I went with a linear switch and it just feels so much better than a membrane type when typing.
Jason Rogers
they're also easier to clean should the need arise. Even a cheap chinkshit mechanical is a better choice than any membrane board

Jordan Ramirez
>I'm not gonna mention any serious points Please do. I'm not OP but mechanical keyboards seem like overpriced crap, I'm genuinely curious as to why people buy them
Jordan Gutierrez
Why not get a old cheap mechanical?

Fedora is a buzzword you use when you don't like something but have no real justification so you try to shame people by association with something we all believe is cringy. Probably works alright on no self esteem omegas
Lucas Russell
Whats your problem? If you aren't willing to spend that much on a keyboard you don't need to do it. I will do it. The typing feeling is much better. The build quality of my K70 RGB also. Its made of metal. Why should I return to shitty rubberdome unless I wanted a sleek transformer laptop for mobile use?
I have MX Browns on both K70s, for best typing feeling, but also gaming.

mechanical keyboards are/were the first salvo of outdated tech nostalgia have you noticed the strong increase in CRT threads lately? I guarantee by the end of 2019 beige cases will unironically be back in style. probably with all sorts of stupid shit like physical key locks and there will be increased demand for coil style wires vs straight
Noah Peterson
>coil style wires vs straight this is already the case lol
Gavin Reyes
how many fedoras do you have?
Wyatt Howard
I asked them and all I got were some unverifiable claims about lower latency

Nice try, mr roccat employee

>easily customizable and diy'able Customizable as in you could take a keyboard and slap on your preferred switches with little soldering (or sometimes none) if you wanted to. It's also quite possible to make your own special snowflake keyboard with mechanical (or similar) switches. Often mechanical keyboards are programmable. >simply comfy to type on I would say mechanical keyboards are a notch above good membrane keyboards (like Thinkpad ones). Is it worth 40-100$? Judge yourself.
Joshua Lee
Roccat has mechanical keyboards in four different switch types.
I was gifted (didn't ask for it) a keyboard with what /mkg/ will tell you is one of the worst switches out there (Romer-G). After a whole life of using membrane boards (and not some $5 pieces of shit either) the difference is like night and day.

They feel better to the touch. How about that one?

I don't care about mechanical, but I doubt there are split ortholinear programmable membrane keyboards.
Eli Johnson
there's a difference if you use it a lot and it's more noticeable after a while when the membrane keyboard starts to feel like shit. It's nice to own and use nice things, that being said I would never carry around the one I use at home or go mental getting a shitton of keycaps or other over the top stuff. But I rather use mine (pic related) than the shit logitech membrane keyboards you can find on my desktop work computers at the office.

nuh-uh, the difference between a mushy membrane keyboard and tactile mechanical is all in your head, nerd!

your mental illness needs treatment, you are on a gook character knitting and drawing board in the technology section, calling people virgins while using a fucking Z on random words and this "XD". Why did you stop taking your meds?

>They're durable
Switch durability ain't what matters, it's the paint. Had this £16 Zalman PoS for the last 5 years, still works and has always been comfy for my typing. Paint started wearing off after 2 years though and this is the state it's in now. I want to see if it'll last long enough for all the paint to wear off.
