What is a mechanical keyboard?
A mechanical keyboard is a computer peripheral device that relies on individual switches for each key. It offers a superior typing experience, with tactile and auditory feedback, and is recognized for its remarkable longevity. Highly appreciated by serious gamers, these are, in fact, time-tested technologies, having been on the market since the 1970s.
Why choose QwertyKey keyboards?
Our keyboards aim to provide you with the most pleasant experience right out of the box, without you having to make many modifications at home. Most of our keyboards come with a foam layer inside the keyboard case to eliminate internal echo. Additionally, most stabilizers are pre-lubricated to give keys like space, shift, enter, and backspace a smoother and more pleasant sound and feel.

What does Hotswap keyboard mean?
A hotswap keyboard is a keyboard that allows you to change the switches as well, not just the keycaps (keys) like on most keyboards.
Why should you choose a Hotswap keyboard?
Most users want to try several types of switches, because some later find that the switch they chose is too loud or too quiet, for example. Also, if you plan to lubricate your keyboard, the hotswap feature allows you to remove the switches with a simple tool, which is usually found in the keyboard box.
