You’ve finally made the decision to buy your first mechanical keyboard. Congratulations! I hope that you’ve made a good choice, and you’re ready to make it the best keyboard you can possibly have!
Whether you’re just starting out or a mechanical keyboard vet, you’re probably looking for a few things. In this guide, I’ll be going over a few things that you need to be aware of. I’ll cover some general stuff, some more specific things, and some of the popular mechanical keyboards that you’re more than likely to see out there.
General Considerations
It’s always a matter of preference. You should also take into account your budget and what you need. Do you need to get your money back? Is it a limited budget? Do you know what you’ll be using it for? Do you have a hobby?
Are you going to be using your keyboard a lot?
Keep in mind that it’s how you plan on using the keyboard. If you’re going to be using it a lot , then you’re going to need to be aware of your typing style. Typing for long periods of time is really going to do damage to your wrists and fingers, so be sure to remember that.
If you’re using your keyboard maybe once or twice a month, then you might want to get the cheaper, more durable keyboard. But if you’re using it a lot, then be sure to get one with durable, reliable key switches.
In Redington, you can find a huge variety of keyboards.
