Jon wrote [Building a Lord of the Rings keyboard](https://jlericson.com/2024/09/22/custom_keyboard.html) this week about getting a mechanical keyboard. I definitely commiserate with his membrane keyboard complaint: > But then I discovered that the "A" key on my keyboard only fired every other time I pressed it. I have the same issue with my "O" key. > By contrast, each keycap in a mechanical keyboard is attached to its own individual switch. As a result, mechanical keyboards tend to be more durable and can also be repaired if a switch starts to fail. He definitely spent a lot of money for the privilege, though.
