Every heavy typist and marathon gamer knows that avoiding sore hands comes down to one thing: a decent keyboard. And that works best with a mechanical keyboard. That's why getDigital offers a wide choice for every requirement and preference. From keyboards with a loud click to ergonomic designs loved by writers and blank keyboards for real pros with no legends on the keys, every enthusiast finds the right one here.
How mechanical differs from an ordinary keyboard
Press a key on a mechanical keyboard and you clearly feel that the keystroke has registered. You feel the actuation point and, depending on the model, hear a more or less pronounced click. Our popular Das Keyboard comes as Clicky with Cherry MX Blue switches and as Soft Clicky with Cherry MX Brown switches. Blue switches are tactile with a loud click, a dream for writers. Brown switches are tactile too, but quiet: a good middle ground for typists and gamers, and ideal for offices where you don't want to disturb colleagues.
Robust, durable and a pleasure to type on
Mechanical keyboards are far sturdier than rubber-dome models. The solid, heavy case gives stability and a low-vibration typing feel, and their construction means they last a very long time. Many models offer n-key rollover, recognising several keys at once, handy for gaming and shortcuts. A mechanical keyboard is also one of the best gifts for programmers, and our computer science shirts make a fine companion.
