    I'm not exactly sure what a mechanical keyboard is but it sounds expensive and I should probably go log out now :rofl:

    @ChadsPride This is a switch. It connects to a pcb board and has a keycap on top. When you press down on the keycap the purple piece sends a signal to the PCB board to tell the computer to put the character on the screen.

    They can be clicky like an old IBM mode M, tactile so it's quiter but you feel a bump for feedback, and silent which doesn't have a bump and doesn't make a lot of noise.

    You're close(ish) to me. I'm near Slaughter and Manchaca. I'm sure we've seen each other rolling around.

    This is where I bought my latest keyboard from. I highly recommend them to anyone with a Mac or anyone that wants a wireless mechanical keyboard
