What To Expect In A Hot Swappable Keyboard?
How to choose the best
swappable switches
Layout:
Once you start watching
into mechanical keyboards, you will realize how many layouts are there. All the
boards use either the Full, 75% or 60% layouts. 75% of boards have most keys of
the full board, minus the Numpad. And, 60% of boards are compact, usually inexpensive,
but lose a lot of keys in the procedure such as the enthusiastic arrow keys.
You will need to choose what layout works for you.
Better Switch
Compatibility:
All the boards are
compatible with MX-style switch brands like Cherry, Kailh, and Outemu.
The Extra Features:
RGB lighting, or even
just adaptable kickstands can go an extended way to making a keyboard better both
in its looks and its functionality.
The Build Quality:
Mechanical keyboards are not
cheap, so you will want to make sure that the case that surrounds the PCB and
keycaps is worth the price tag. When it comes to the keycaps, in specific, you
will want double-shot keycaps for supreme longevity as there are also different
plastics like ABS and PBT that can also be used, with PBT usually being the
better but it is the more expensive option.
