Mechanical because /g/ will make fun of me if I say membrane even though this is my current keyboard and I'll never buy a mechanical because the sound of keys clacking makes me want to fucking scream.
God damn it I hate this fucking keyboard so bad. Fuck literally ANY keyboard with the tiny backspace key.

Mechanical is shit.

Why not get a linear switch with o rings? It'll be much quieter than a normal mechanical keyboard.

Because there's literally no reason to spend more than 40 bucks on a keyboard. I'd buy a meme mouse before I bought a meme keyboard.

>$35
>$15 shipping
>Spending 50% of the cost of the product on shipping that will probably take 6 weeks

They probably use chink kaihl switches so no thanks

Yeesh, that's a weak troll. Or is this some kind of meta commentary on obvious bait? I honestly can't tell.

If you paid more than $10 for that shit I feel bad for you.
In Mid-West Europe, you can purchase a proper PS/2 keyboard that's waterproof and doesn't have ghosting issues for less than $10, and its none of those shitty compact ones. The same applies for USB 3.1 keyboards.
I frankly do not feel the need for a mechanical keyboard, I have used them in the past (<2006) and I don't see why we need to use them now.
Blackwidow clicking sound is fabolous desu
Clicky or tactile mechanical
Topre is the best of both worlds.

It's basically personal preference at this point.

>requires awkward punching of fingers
Linear switches exist, anon.
>either ancient hipster Model M crap resold to you by an otaku for $150...
>or RAZER Call Of Gaymin $150 BlackWIDOW HyperStrike marked up crap
I bought mine for less than $80.

The first one. Buying a mechanical keyboard was a big mistake. They're the gaming mice of the keyboard world.

I used a keyboard like this, but sold under a different brand. Probably the worst keyboard I ever used. It takes ridiculous amounts of force to even press a key if you're not hitting it perfectly in the center, and the layout is trash. I had to type pretty hard on it, and I couldn't stand even writing a 4 character password on it.

mechanical keyboards are memes and are too loud
mechanical. i use an old thinkpad just to have a clicky keyboard.
terminal applications on a *nix system and a mechanical keyboard where you feel every keystroke go hand in hand.
i don't even use a mouse and have the need to get a mechanical response for everything i do on a computer. its just such natural feeling to use a machine. i wish that shit would translate to phones.
If money is no issue: Topre Realforce all the way
