mechanical keyboard

Is the mechanical keyboard right choice for programming? The answer is both yes and no. Yes, if you want a durable keyboard with a crisp feedback and want to get rid of that mushy feeling from those membrane keyboards then surely you can go for this. With that being said, these will slow you down at first as you need to press each key farther than the normal membrane keyboard which will affect your speed and accuracy when starting out and if you don't have the time to learn while working then refrain from buying this. There are a lot of good membrane keyboards like the logitech mx keys which are serious productivity boosting peripherals and for those who've been typing on membrane keyboard for their entire lives, this keyboard (logitech mx keys) is a fantastic upgrade.

Mechanical Keyboard

Mechanical keyboards contain switches underneath the keycaps which when 
pressed activates that particaular key. 

There are mainly 3 types of switches: Clicky, Tactile, and Linear.

*Clicky switches* are what people mainly corelate with when getting into
mechanical keyboards as these create a sound/click when the key is pressed.
There is also a tactile feedback meaning you'll feel a bump on your finger 
when you actuate the switch.

*Tactile switches* are similar to the clicky switches without the clicky sound.
As the name goes, these also have tactile feedback like the clicky switches. 
People who game mainly prefer tactile switches as they give a physical feedback
when pressed. Getting this feedback means that the key has been activated. 

*Linear Switches* are different from the above two switches. They don't give
any kind of feedback so the user needs to press the switch completely to make
sure that the switch is activated. One might think that these switches are 
not good but these switches do not make any sound when pressed (the sound 
of these switches from keyboard sound test videos aren't really the sound that 
these switches are making, it is the sound of the keycap when the key bottoms
out and there is no space for the switch to further get pressed down.) so these
switches can be used in a noise sensitive place. People who program or type 
mainly prefer these switches as these give a much smoother typing experience 
than the clickys and the tactiles.
