It is interesting to note that mechanical keyboard key switches are manufactured in different types and can be selected depending on the user’s preferences or needs. The common types include tactile, linear and clicky switches. Tactile switches incorporate a tactile feature, a bump in the middle of the stroke that provides feedback without a noticeable click. In contrast, Linear switches are keystroke switches that have a lack of tactile response and therefore are smooth throughout the whole stroke without any bump at the stop. This makes it suitable for games with quick key strokes. Clicky switches provide a tactile bump as well as an audible click making it a favorite among typists who appreciate the sound of typing on a keyboard. It is important to know these types of keyboards in order to increase productivity as well as comfort.
