Keyboard Switches
Types of Switches
Tactile
Tactile keyboard switches are often preferred by touch typists who rely on the physical feedback of the keys to type efficiently and accurately. These switches have a small bump or tactile point in the middle of the keypress, which provides a noticeable feedback sensation when the key is pressed.
Linear
Linear keyboard switches have a smooth and consistent feel throughout the entire keypress, with no bump or tactile feedback point. This type of switch is often preferred by gamers and those who need to perform rapid keystrokes without any interruption in their typing flow.
Clicky
Clicky keyboard switches are similar to tactile switches, but with the addition of an audible click sound when the key is pressed. These switches are often favored by typists who enjoy the satisfying sound of each keystroke and find it helpful in monitoring their typing speed and accuracy.
