It is safe to say most people use a keyboard more than anything else they own. Most keyboards are cheap, flimsy, and utilize exceptionally low quality components despite their importance and ubiquity. If you needed one tool to do your job, wouldn't you want the best tool possible? That's where mechanical keyboards come in.

Instead of using cheap membrane based actuation, they utilize mechanical switches (Cherry MX Red switches for this keyboard) with incredible durability, dependability, and superior feel while typing. Instead of the usual unsatisfying squish you get from a low-end keyboard, Cherry MX Red switches have a smooth, desirable, linear key press.
