Longer Lifespan Mechanical keyboards have a significantly longer life span. Mechanical keyboards have many advantages over rubber dome or scissor switch keyboards. But there are also a few small disadvantages. A disassembled Cherry MX Brown Switch The Comparison: Advantages and Disadvantages They are still very popular, but by now, there are also a lot of other manufacturers who produce their own mechanical switches (see Switch Types for more information). The German company Cherry dominated the market for mechanical switches for decades.
But more about the advantages and disadvantages of mechanical switches later.
A mechanical switch with a metal spring wears out way slower than one with a rubber dome. There are several different kinds of mechanical switches, but most of the time, a metal spring gets used for the actuation mechanism. Scissor switch in a Compal notebook Mechanical SwitchesĮxpensive keyboards usually feature mechanical switches. Keyboards with the scissor mechanism have a low profile layout and last quite a bit longer than common membrane keyboards (up to 10 – 30 million key presses). Scissor switches use rubber domes just like common membrane keyboards, but they have a different mechanic to hold and guide the key cap. Instead of large plastic guide shafts, there are two plastic cross-arms for each key. The keyboards from Apple and most notebooks and use scissor switches. This irregular wear of different keys is an additional handicap for the user. Often use keys like the space bar or the letter “e” show these effects even earlier and stronger. After a few years the keys are clattering, they get stuck more often or are harder to press. But there is a big drawback: the keys wear out very fast. Membrane keyboards are very popular, because they are cheap to produce. Several membrane sheets underneath the rubber domes are responsible for transmitting the signal (–> membrane keyboard). These two terms actually describe two distinct techniques, but because most keyboards use both, they are frequently interchanged. This rubber dome is responsible for actuating the switch and making sure, that the keycap goes back up again. Rubber dome keyboards have a small rubber dome inside of each key.
