Good god, that is what I like to see!
How much did that run ya?

Blord has that old keyboard an then a 100$ MX Revolution mouse. Hahah

What the heck are you guys talking about here? I can't understand it. Aren't all keyboards based on some 'mechanical' 'mechanism' that is the button you are pressing?

I think they mean the old, non laptop, style keyboards that were just loud and annoying to type on IMO lol

They are a different type of keyboard with a mechanical switch that engages, you can choose whatever switch you like. I personally like the ones that make an audible click with a tactile bump, the Blue ones. Others, like the reds, for example, have no clicking noise and are completely smooth to depress. Normal keyboards, like in laptops and others have a little rubber nub under the key that presses down. IDK if im explaining this well, heres the wikipedia page: Keyboard technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anyway, they feel suuuuper nice to type on and i cant really stand typing on my old keyboard that i dedicated to my PS3(its either dome switch or membrane, its the kind YOU have), or any other keyboard in general

Most keyboards sold today are full-travel membrane type keyboards. If you take a flathead screwdriver to the keys in your keyboard you'll see that there's some rubbery squishy membrane below the plastic key that provides the spring action for the key.

A buckling-spring keyboard, on the other hand, has a very distinct "click" to the press of each key, even if the key is pressed slowly and softly. The spring is compressed until it reaches a buckling point, at which point the pressure on the key gives way. It's a very nice, mechanical feeling that doesn't feel cheap.
