FAQs

Are mechanical keyboards better for working from home?

Yes. They offer more consistent key feel, better typing speed, and last far longer than membrane keyboards. Quiet switches suit shared homes.

What switch type is best for office work?

Brown switches give tactile feedback without the loud click. Red switches are quieter but lack the tactile bump. Avoid blue switches in shared spaces.

Do I need a UK ISO layout mechanical keyboard?

If you use UK-specific keys (£ symbol, large Enter key), yes. Most major brands now offer UK ISO versions.
