Notes on Mechanical Switches
A small site about typing, switches, and the small modifications that change how a keyboard sounds.

This is a small site about mechanical keyboards. The hobby has more rabbit holes than it needs and most of them do not improve the typing experience. The aim here is to skip those and focus on the few changes that genuinely matter.
Where to start
If you are picking your first board, the only choices that genuinely affect the feel are switch family and case. Spend twenty minutes on those and ignore the rest until later.
For people already on a mechanical keyboard, the single highest-impact upgrade is lubing the stabilizers — see lubing stabilizers.
