Membrane keyboards are better than mechanical - change our minds.

Another huge benefit, one that I mentioned earlier, is the noise level. The mechanical switches give it that distinctivesound while typing, though there are brown switch types that can be much quieter. Meanwhile, because membrane keys don’t have those individual switches, they tend to be much quieter than their counterparts. While you could purchase a brown-switch mechanical, if you’re on a budget or not particularly good with electronics, it makes far more sense to simply buy a membrane.

Elaborating on that latter point, membrane keyboards are much easier to use. For the average PC user, the world of mechanical keyboards for any non-tech-savvy person is too loaded down with jargon. And while there’s nothing impossible about researching said jargon, parsing through hours of articles and videos to find a mechanical keyboard that’s fitted to their specific needs takes a kind of dedication and time sink that many office workers simply don’t have.

There’s also the amount of effort it takes to press down on a key to activate it, which is higher for a mechanical one due to the switch under it needing to be pressed on before it registers. A membrane keyboard takes far less effort, which not only gives it that softer typing feel but your fingers need to expend less effort to type. This is an important distinction for those who naturally don’t type heavily, especially when the reason for that is tied to some form of disability.

However, this doesn’t apply to a vast majority of PC users, many of which are already well invested in their own careers and passions and don’t have the same energy or money to devote to such an expensive hobby. And to those people, membrane keyboards are perfectly fine to use. You’re not missing out on some profound experience, and while having a mechanical keyboard could be beneficial to some people, a membrane does everything most people need it to do at a fraction of the price and without having to worry about purchasing special switches in order to avoid the noise issue. And for those who type softer, whether due to disability or not, membranes require much less energy and are easier to use for long stretches of time.
