6 myths about mechanical keyboards that are no longer true
For better or worse, the "mech keeb" community is still a niche one, so there are many more people outside of it than the ones in the know. So, a regular PC user might still have some misconceptions about mechanical keyboards that are far from the truth.
These myths range across all aspects of mechanical keyboards, from the look and feel to the sound and price. Perhaps the only silver lining we have is that most of these myths are super easy to debunk, so people don't have an excuse to stay uninformed any longer.
It's always interesting to me, no matter what the technology, so many people tend to get hung up about issues that existed when it launched, and those perceptions stubbornly persist. Yes you can buy really cheap membrane keyboards, but the experience is not the same, and a better keyboard is going to last you a long time. Both a keyboard and mouse are intensively used with a computer, so you may as well be a bit more discerning when choosing them. I've realised over time too that RGB colour lights are not the biggest thing (unless you want to set certain shortcut keys in their own colours) but I really do value backlit keys to see them clearer (I do visual typing not touch typing).
