Those who used typewriters will be able to remember the sound that was heard at the press of each key that was written on the sheet of paper. The typewriter was a mechanical keyboard and gave a feeling of pressing the keys on the fingers much more intense and different than what we feel when we write to the PC using a normal keyboard.
While the first computers had mechanical keyboards, with the spread of PCs in all the houses in the world, membrane keyboards have spread as they are much cheaper to produce.
Who does not know anything about mechanical keyboards, surely will have used one of the normal membrane keyboards, which cost 10 Euros or a little more and will hardly know the huge difference between a normal normal keyboard and a mechanical keyboard, which is now returning to fashion, very convenient especially for players and for typists and writers.
differences between mechanical keyboard and membrane keyboard .
In most normal keyboards, pressing a button pushes down a silicon dome connected to the circuit board on a membrane that covers the entire keyboard, with a single monobloc switch.
The pressure of the keys, therefore, is very silent and almost without any tactile feedback.
The construction of membrane keyboards is much simpler and cheaper than mechanical keyboards, which are composed of single and separate switches under each button.
An important difference is that in membrane keyboards the button must be pressed all the way, becoming more tiring than pressing a mechanical button, which instead can be lowered even only halfway.
Another difference is that the keys on the mechanical keyboard can be replaced, modified and reprogrammed, while on a membrane keyboard everything is governed by the printed circuit under the keys that certainly cannot be changed.
The mechanical switches are real physical switches, they have a much longer lifespan, they create a more direct relationship between the person who is typing and what appears on the screen, a bit like it was when using a machine from to write.
Due to hardware and production work, mechanical keyboards tend to be thicker, heavier and more expensive than membrane keyboards, making them an investment that can be frightening (you can get over 100 Euros), although they greatly change the quality of work on the PC.
