Mechanical Keyboards?



Why is it so expensive? Because it has lighter keystrokes than nowadays rubber dome keyboards and has lifespan of 50 million keystrokes. Rubber dome keyboards which has been common are known to have lifespan only 10 million keystrokes. Scissors switches on thin keyboards have 20 million keystrokes lifespan. Talking about the stroke needed to press each button on the keyboard, mechanical keyboards are most comfortable and the lightest to press. As a budget comparison, rubber dome keyboards price on average of 200,000 IDR, and mechanical starts from 1,000,000 IDR. The lifespan 5 times than the rubber dome's, but with advantage of lighter keystroke and no ghosting for gamers (Full NKRO). And also mechanical keyboards can be customized on their keycaps. Different material of keycap has different typing feel too. About switches and keycaps will be explained on next post.
