1. The switches used on the keyboard: mechanical vs. membrane vs. rubber domes Gaming keyboards can use membrane keys, rubber domes, or mechanical switches. One problem is that manufacturers are not always honest about the type of keys that they offer, especially on budget keyboards, and use confusing terms in their marketing. For example, Roccat calls some of their keys as being membranical, while other manufacturers use the term “semi-mechanical.” A keyboard is either mechanical, or it is not.
