Mechanical keyboards are usually preferred by enthusiasts and gamers who want a more tactile key feel. Mechanical keyboards are also more expensive, but they offer a higher level of performance.

Razer’s 2017 Ornata Chroma is the first gaming keyboard to include a hybrid mechanical/mechanical key switch design. This unique design allows for a more visceral and comfortable gaming experience, as well as the ability to simulate the feel of a switch. The hybrid key switch design also allows for increased customization, as you can change the actuation and movement speed of your keys, making it possible to find the perfect gaming keyboard for your needs.

A mechanical keyboard has many advantages over a membrane keyboard. For example, a mechanical keyboard can be faster and more accurate in gaming because the keys are smaller and closer together. Mechanical keyboards also have better tactile feedback than membrane keyboards, which is why they are often used for gaming.

The SteelSeries Apex 5 keyboard has two hybrid blue switches that are spring-loaded, so pressing the key feels like a mechanical keyboard. This is more accurate than the traditional key presses because it blends the two switch designs together.
