Frequently Asked Questions

What switch type is best for gaming?

Linear switches (like reds) are smooth and fast, favoured by many gamers. Tactile switches give a bump for typing feel, while clicky switches add sound. It comes down to personal preference.

Is a TKL or full-size keyboard better?

TKL (tenkeyless) drops the numpad to save space and give more room for mouse movement, which competitive players like. Full-size keeps the numpad for productivity.

Are mechanical keyboards worth it for gaming?

Yes. Mechanical switches offer better durability, consistent feel and features like N-key rollover, which registers many simultaneous key presses accurately.

What is a hot-swappable keyboard?

A hot-swap keyboard lets you change switches by pulling them out and pressing new ones in, with no soldering. It makes it easy to tune feel and sound over time.

Wired or wireless for competitive gaming?

Modern wireless tech like Lightspeed offers near-zero latency, so it is fine for competitive play. Wired connections still guarantee no interruptions and never need charging.

What are PBT keycaps?

PBT is a durable plastic that resists the shine ABS keycaps develop over time. PBT keycaps generally feel more textured and last longer.
