Mechanical keyboards (or mechanical-switch keyboards) are computer keyboards which have an individual switch for each key. The following table is a compilation list of mechanical keyboard models, brands, and series:
The benefits of having a gaming keypad over a traditional keyboard are many. Reduced size - Whether the player is looking to free up desktop space while they are gaming, or are looking for a keyboard that is more conducive to resting in their lap while they sit back, a keypad can give them the option of something much more manageable.
QMK (Quantum Mechanical Keyboard [2]) is open-source firmware for microcontrollers that control computer keyboards. [3] [4] [5] The QMK Configurator is freely available software which facilitates designing keyboard layouts and then turning them into firmware files. The QMK Toolkit is freely available software which facilitates the flashing or ...
