A Quiet Mechanical Keyboard For Your Computer

The biggest downside to a quiet mechanical keyboard is without a doubt their sound. The ticking of the keys can often be so loud and frustrating, that you may find yourself actually hearing it in your sleep every night. I have a friend who actually has to turn up the volume of his keyboard to hear it when he sleeps at night. The sound is clearly louder than the regular volume of your computer's speakers.

There are other downsides to a quiet mechanical keyboard, however. One of my coworkers who works on a Mac OS X platform loves his keyboard. The thing is, if he would use a regular key type keyboard instead, he could get away with purchasing a more expensive keyboard. He uses a Kinesis keyboard for everything, and I'm sure others who use this type of product have similar experiences. One thing that they have in common, however, is that if they tried to use some cheap key type plastic membrane for their key layout, it clanked like crazy. When you put a Kinesis keyboard next to a cheap rubber dome key type keyboard, the sound from the rubber dome just didn't cut it.

The only reason why I decided to buy him a quiet mechanical keyboard was because I wanted to build a gaming keyboard. He has always loved playing games and wanted a keyboard that was as good as possible. I did some research, looked at a few different models, and narrowed it down to a two keys that would go right next to each other on the keyboard. It was the best decision that I had made, and he is hooked.

There are a few other advantages to these types of keyboards, besides the obvious benefit of not hearing the loud clicking noises. Mechanical keyboards have very quiet mechanical switches. There is no excess noise that makes the audio come in over the keyboard. If you were to compare an everyday computer keyboard to one of these mechanical keyboards, it would be quite noticeable that the quietness of the mechanical switches is much better.

Another advantage to these types of keyboards is that they offer another type of feel when typing. With most of today's keyboards there are audible screeches that sound as you hit your keys. However, with the newer models of mechanical switches, it is possible to completely avoid this. It will feel just like typing on a normal keypad. It doesn't matter which keys you press, it will still feel like typing on a normal keyboard.

There is another benefit to these keyboards besides just the tactile experience, as well. They are able to support USB devices, including gaming mice and other devices. Some of the newer models of these keyboards even have a small number keypad below the numbers. This keypad can be used for all of the commonly used computer related functions, such as the home or start menu. When you want to perform a particular function, you can just press the necessary key on the number keypad to make it work.

Another thing that the newer models of these keyboards that support USB ports can do is allow you to type directly on the computer monitor while you are playing your games. Some gaming mice require you to plug the mouse into the computer before you can use it. While playing your game, if you need to change keys or switch from a hotkey to a different function, it can be difficult to do without turning off your game and starting over. When you are playing your favorite online games, some of them require that you type a certain amount of keys to change characters. If you have a wristwatch on your wrist, it can also be hard to turn off the game and stop playing without removing your wristwatch first.

If you are considering purchasing a USB wired keyboard, I would definitely check out the Amazon models. They are incredibly affordable, and have many features that you will appreciate. They are extremely durable and are also super quiet when operating. If you enjoy playing games on your computer, but you don't want to be bothered doing anything besides typing, the Amazon version might be the right one for you.
