5 min readReplacing mechanical keyboard switches can be a straightforward process if you follow the right steps. Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary tools, such as a keycap puller, a soldering iron, solder wire, and replacement switches.First, unplug your keyboard and turn it upside down to access the underside. Look for any screws or clips that hold the keyboard casing together and remove them using a screwdriver or by pressing the clips gently.

6 min readA mechanical keyboard is a type of keyboard that uses mechanical switches underneath the keycaps to register key presses. Unlike traditional rubber dome keyboards, which use a rubber sheet or dome-shaped switches to register inputs, mechanical keyboards use individual mechanical switches for each key.At the core of a mechanical switch lies a spring-loaded mechanism. When a key is pressed, the keycap pushes down on a switch, compressing the spring inside it.

8 min readCleaning mechanical keyboard keys is fairly simple. Follow these steps for a thorough cleaning:Prepare for cleaning: Start by turning off your computer and unplugging the keyboard from the USB port. This will prevent any accidental key presses and ensure safety during the cleaning process. Remove the keycaps: Gently pull off the keycaps one by one. You can use your fingertips or a keycap puller, if available. Take care to detach them with even pressure to avoid any damage.

7 min readA mechanical keyboard is a type of computer keyboard that uses individual mechanical switches for each key. These switches consist of a spring-loaded mechanism that registers keystrokes when pressed. In contrast, a regular keyboard, also known as a membrane keyboard, uses a rubber dome or silicone membrane layer under the keycaps to register keystrokes.The main difference between a mechanical keyboard and a regular keyboard lies in their design and the technology used.

4 min readMechanical keyboards are often considered better for typing due to their tactile feedback and enhanced typing experience. Unlike traditional membrane keyboards, mechanical keyboards use individual mechanical switches under each keycap. These switches provide a unique clicky or tactile feel when pressed, allowing typists to receive physical feedback with every keystroke.

7 min readIf you want to make your mechanical keyboard quieter, there are a few options you can try:Install o-rings: O-rings are rubber rings that can be placed on the stem of each keycap. When you press a key, the o-ring softens the landing impact, resulting in a quieter typing experience. Add dampeners: Keyboard dampeners can be installed under the keycaps. These foam pads help absorb some of the sound generated when a key is pressed, reducing the noise significantly.

5 min readA mechanical keyboard and a normal keyboard differ in their underlying technology and the overall typing experience they offer.A mechanical keyboard utilizes physical switches underneath each key. These switches are generally made of high-quality materials like metal, which gives them durability and a satisfying tactile feedback when pressed. When a key is pressed, the switch registers the keystroke instantly, making mechanical keyboards more responsive and accurate compared to normal keyboards.
