Switches

Mechanical keyboard switches are at the heart of every typing experience, and choosing the right one can completely transform how your keyboard feels. Switches come in a wide range of styles, from smooth linear options designed for fast, consistent keypresses, to tactile switches that provide a satisfying bump with each press, and clicky switches that add an audible snap for extra feedback.

Within these families, countless variations exist—different spring weights, travel distances, housings, and materials—all influencing the overall sound and feel. Enthusiasts often experiment with multiple switches before finding their perfect match, whether that’s for gaming precision, typing comfort, or a quieter workspace. At Mechboards, we stock a wide variety of popular and niche switches, so you can try new options, fine-tune your setup, and build a keyboard that’s uniquely yours. Dive into the world of switches and discover how much difference the smallest details can make.
