Right after testing the SteelSeries 7G, I got more interested in the mechanical keyboards, because they offer a better computing experience and can ever increase the productivity; they are great when writing large articles, but also when gaming.

The most common switch types used in current mechanical keyboards are Cherry MX Black, Blue and Brown. The differences between these switches are little when using the keyboard for the first time, but after a while, they become more perceptible. Their colors are used to differentiate the different characteristics:

- Cherry MX Black is a non-tactile, non-clicky switch

- Cherry MX Blue is both tactile and clicky

- Cherry MX Brown is tactile, but not clicky

These three types of switches also require different forces when pressed, the heaviest being the Black, followed by the Blue and the Brown.

The Majestouch Filco Majestouch N-key rollover Brown Switch feels easier to type compared to the 7G and till now it is my favourite keyboard; the only thing that it is missing is a wrist-pad. Some nice leather ones are sold separately for extra cost. This particular product does not feature lots of LEDs or other *bling* gaming keyboards usually have, but embraces a standard design; if you do not have a lot of space available on your desk, you can also look at the available Tenkeyless variant.

This keyboard can be bought online for about £111.63.

I would like to thank again to The Keyboard Company and Diatec for letting us test their latest products.
