Anyone have any recommendations for a quality MacOS mechanical clicky keyboard? I currently have a //cheaper// Corsair mechanical but the key mapping gets tiresome.

Thanks!

Choosing the right mechanical keyboard is subjective. I would say a “Good keyboard”, mechanical or otherwise, is something that actually assists you in getting your work done in a manner that is easy and hassle free.

The mechanical one, it all depends on the kind of switches it has and the amount of features it has that “you actually use”. So many people buy a keyboard and end up hating it because it has the wrong switches or form factor.. why? Because they don’t really know what they want out of the keyboard.

I would say that you should decided 3 things before choosing a mechanical keyboard.

1. What size of keyboard suits you and your needs.

2. What kind of switches you want? If you are new to the mechanical keyboard area, you need to find out what kind of switches you prefer.

3. Do you have any aches and pains? If you are having discomfort typing on a standard keyboard, then you should consider an ergonomic keyboard.

Plus, here are non-negotiable premium keyboard must-have characteristics in my opinion. Talking mechanical input, a whole list of elite capabilities come quickly to mind:

-Responsive. Game enemies are taken out as soon as a key is mashed. Writers benefit, getting into the creative groove without annoying backspace deleting.

-Reduced wear. Cheap membrane switches tear. Mechanical switches last far longer and provide a far more satisfying typing experience.

-Tactile feedback. The satisfying click of a premium switch eliminates finger hesitation, enhancing typing flow and accuracy.

-Typing comfort. Stress slips away when switch actuation is mechanical, leading to a reduction in finger fatigue. Writers write longer and gamers gain stamina.

-Switch quality. Different response levels and actuation feels come from elite keyboards with mechanical components. Games talk time, reaction times matter.

-Customizability. Swap the keycaps or change the backlighting pattern, opting for a setup that suits your unique gaming style or writing habits.

-Reliability. Writers hate spell checking and gamers dislike inacurate key inputs. Mechanical keyboards tend to register data entries more precisely.

These performance factors will all play a role in getting potential products high on my best recommendations of mechanical keyboard MVP list below. Other features to be on the look out for are known switch brands, aluminum-like build quality, and actuation adjustability. For the latter feature, it pays to be able to customize the registering distance on the key switches; you can tailor the typing experience for light, fast data entry or for heavier inputs on a button smashing game.
