Mechanical, no contest. Topre with rubber domes are cool too, though.

Personally, it made my typing better because i can hear and feel it a little different. but when im at work i use a normal 10 dollar logictech keyboard that i bring from home and i honestly cant feel the difference at this point --- The night brims with defiled scum,and is permeated by their rotten stench.

Well if they're more common than the keyboards I used with my desktops were probably membranes, but I actually don't know that for sure. I'm using a labtop currently, don't have a separate keyboard for it, but I don't like labtop keyboards anyway so thats irrelevant. --- No matter where you go, there you are. ... Copied to Clipboard!

A lot of people lolBut if you're in the know and can afford mechanical, who honestly does pick membrane? Yeah, using a membrane isn't terrible or anything, but mechanical keyboards are more satisfying to use and are highly customizable. I'll admit to being biased since I'm deep down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole and have built my own custom boards, lol. --- Many Bothans died to bring you this post. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I thought "membrane" specifically referred to the type of keyboard that comes built in to laptop computers. is that not true?if you pop the caps off a membrane keyboard you'll see little rubber domes, if you scrape those off you'll see contact points on the back of them and a circuit board underneath them. they work by compressing the dome and touching the contact points to the board. mechanical keyboards have mechanical switches inside of them, they come in different types but the major difference between mechanical and membrane is that the mechanical switches are more sturdy and resistant to use/abuse. membrane keyboards will fail from use as the rubber wears out, or the glue holding the membrane to the board fails, or if you spill liquid on the board. there's also a tactile feel difference, and even a noise difference, but that is dependent on the switch type itself. --- Taarsidath-an halsaam.

All the click with none of the clack.O-rings aren't so popular these days, at least in the enthusiast communities. They limit key travel and there's plenty of switches that have built in sound damping now. But yeah, that is a potential fix for the more casual mechanical keyboard fan, or if you really like your existing board/switch type. --- Many Bothans died to bring you this post. ...

Membrane is fine, such as with the Model M. But nobody who voted actually prefers rubber dome nonsense to a mechanical keyboard. There's a reason those are commonly advertised as "mechanical feel" to trick people who do not fully understand what they are doing into wasting their money.
