What are keyboard switches?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ever freaked out after one of the keys on your keyboard fell off? If you\u2019ve tried putting it back, you would\u2019ve noticed that the keys are held in place by a box-like mechanism. These are your keyboard switches, commonly referred to as key switches. These key switches are the reason why you\u2019re able to type complete sentences and carry out your favourite \u201cControl C\u201d, \u201cControl V\u201d functions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each key switch has metal pins on the bottom that are in direct contact with the mechanical keyboard\u2019s printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB is basically the brain of your keyboard that contains all the knowledge needed for computer functions. The keyboard switch is activated when you press a key. The switch then sends electric pulses through its metal pins and informs the PCB on what to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the best type of mechanical keyboard switch?<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are mainly three types of <\/span>keyboard switches<\/span><\/a>: tactile, clicky and linear. Depending on manufacturers, there can be some slight differences in these keyboard switches. Apart from the aesthetics, they also vary in terms of sound, feel and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
