Blue Switch Mechanical Keyboard

Every key on a mechanical-switch keyboard contains a complete switch underneath. Each switch is composed of a housing, a spring, a stem, and sometimes other parts such as a separate tactile leaf or a click bar.

Switches come in three variants: “linear” with consistent resistance, “tactile” with a non-audible bump, and “clicky” with both a bump and an audible click. Depending on the resistance of the spring, the key requires different amounts of pressure to actuate and bottom out.

The shape of the stem, as well as the design of the switch housing. Varies the actuation distance and travel distance of the switch. The sound can be altered by the material of the plate, case, lubrication, and even the keycap profile. Mechanical keyboards allow for the removal and replacement of keycaps. Replacing them is more common with mechanical keyboards due to their common stem shape.

Mechanical keyboards typically have a longer lifespan than membrane or dome-switch keyboards. Cherry MX switches, for example, have an expected lifespan of 50 million clicks per switch, while switches from Razer have a rated lifetime of 60 million clicks per switch.

A major producer of mechanical switches is Cherry, which has manufactured the MX family of switches since the 1980s. Cherry’s colour-coding system of categorizing switches has been imitated by other switch manufacturers.
