Was ist eine mechanische Tastatur?

Eine Tastatur kann man als mechanisch bezeichnen, wenn sie für jede Taste mit hochwertigen, federbetätigten Tastenschaltern ausgestattet ist.

Mechanische Tastaturen scheinen erst seit ein paar Jahren auf dem Markt zu sein. In Wirklichkeit reicht ihre Geschichte mehrere Jahrzehnte zurück, bis hin zu frühen PC-Ikonen wie der IBM Model M Tastatur. Diese frühen Marktteilnehmer setzten auf hochwertige mechanische Tastaturen.

Als der PC seinen Siegeszug startete, kam es in den 1990er Jahren zu einer Flut von günstigeren Membrantastaturen, die den Markt überschwemmten. Rubberdome Tastaturen bzw. Membrantastaturen machen über 90% der heute eingesetzten Tastaturen aus und bieten ein preiswertes, aber unbefriedigendes Tastgefühl und Tipperlebnis.

What is a mechanical keyboard?

A keyboard can be called mechanical if it is equipped with high-quality, spring-operated key switches for each key.

Mechanical keyboards seem to have only been on the market for a few years. In reality, their history goes back several decades, to early PC icons such as the IBM Model M keyboard. These early entrants relied on high-quality mechanical keyboards.

As the PC began its triumphant march, the 1990s saw a flood of cheaper membrane keyboards flooding the market. Rubberdome keyboards or membrane keyboards account for over 90% of the keyboards in use today and offer a cheap but unsatisfactory tactile feel and typing experience.

Advantages of a mechanical keyboard

Difference between conventional- and mechanical keyboard

Conventional membrane keyboards have a flexible three-layer design with a unified circuit underneath, like a TV remote control. The top and bottom layers consist of a membrane. In the middle layer is a conductive path that transmits signals.

Mechanical keyboards, on the other hand, have spring-operated, independent key switches. Unlike membrane keyboards, they provide excellent tactile feedback and user experience.

Elton John - John Legend

Most of us spend more time with the keyboard than a pianist does with his piano.

When it comes to Elton John's or John Legend's instruments, they both say: "Anything that isn't perfect isn't good enough."

Anyone who only has a keyboard under their fingers for half of their working hours spends over 1000 hours a year typing. Yet most pay virtually no attention to their "instrument".

Treat yourself to the pleasure and comfort of a mechanical keyboard.
