Clicky keyboards. Users love them. People who share offices with these users hate them. And it could be about to get a lot better (or worse).

How does a $500 keyboard sound?
Mechanical keyboards last longer, feel better and can be easier to type on after an initial learning period. But they don't always come in a full range of regional language layouts, offer features like multi-computer pairing, and other basics found in standard keyboards. That, and they're often too thick, making them uncomfortable or even harmful to use. Logitech's new MX Mechanical keyboard solves each of these problems.
"I got hooked on mechanical keyboards as a gamer, and then it eventually grew on me as I got used to typing with it for hours," tech writer and mechanical keyboard fan Victoria Mendoza told Lifewire via email. "The click sound is an added addition to the tactile feedback, meaning you get more response to a button press, leading to more precision in typing and gaming."
Most keyboards have membrane or dome switches under the keys, which are slim but can be relatively mushy and unresponsive. As the name suggests, mechanical keyboards have a mechanical switch under each key. These activate near (but not at) the bottom of the key's travel. This means—despite what you might think when you hear that programmer in your office hammering away at his cranky blue-switch boutique keyboard—it only takes a light touch to activate a button press.
