mechanical keyboard

    0.03 sec.
mechanical keyboard
A keyboard that uses an individual switch for each key. Earlier computer keyboards were built this way as well as premium keyboards today. Mechanical keyboards are very much appreciated by fast typists, because they have a springiness and feel that is not the same as the standard membrane keyboard accompanying most computers. See Avant Stellar keyboard and membrane keyboard.
