First mechanical keyboard ever. Wow these are so much better than normal keyboards. I've also found it useful for gaming. Apparently this is supposed to be quieter than most other mechanical keyboards. It's still pretty loud, but I guess all mechanical keyboards are loud.

@re7hf Normal keyboards have rubber in them and you have to press the key all the way down to send the signal to the computer. With mechanical keyboards, there's a spring loaded switch which makes a click right when you hit the button. So it's quicker and feels more responsive. They are also more durable so they usually last longer and don't get worn out as fast.
