Mechanical keyboards date back to the 1970s.
The earliest mechanical keyboards used key switches produced by companies such as Cherry and Alps Electric.
These key switches are designed to have a long life, with some models lasting up to 100 million keystrokes.
These switches are designed to provide tactile feedback so users can feel when a key is pressed.
This feedback makes typing on a mechanical keyboard more enjoyable and satisfying.
