The purchase was not entirely successful, there were minor problems in use.

My first mechanical keyboard. I didn't guess with the choice.

Previously, I felt the B800 and B820 in the store (both on blue switches) - I didn’t like the clack. Although, of course, in a couple of minutes it is difficult to understand something. I blindly ordered a B820 with red switches. I brought it home in anticipation of not only a miracle, but something interesting, and . I didn’t like it.

Cons see above. I poked around for an hour or two with this disgrace and packed the keyboard back. At first, the plan was to pay another thousand and change it to B975 (in order to understand for sure that I did everything I could and took the topper at the moment, so to speak), but there are already other switches that I again didn’t feel (not blue and red, but orange (with a click) and brown (without a click); they say orange is a little quieter than blue). As a result, I decided not to engage in nonsense and took the A4Tech KV-300H slim, which is quite well-known in narrow circles. No problems getting used to, everything is very convenient, it prints quickly. In short, it is definitely better than the tested B820 on red switches. Maybe the option with B975 on orange switches would have satisfied me, but now for another time.

As a result, I can say that once again I am convinced of the idea that mechanics are greatly overestimated among the townsfolk. It does not add typing speed from the word at all, and maybe reduces it. There are also issues with ease of use. It’s just that these are OTHER feelings, so to speak, and they are not always different for the better, unfortunately. In fact, among many gamers it's just fashionable, nothing more. Taking into account the fact that the price is several times higher than even very good membrane claves, I still consider it inappropriate to purchase mechanics in the general case (in general! If you enjoy some blue switches, or just enjoy the presence of In addition, I am completely happy for you - this means that the purchase was not in vain). So far, according to the feeling for me personally, there will be more minuses from using even a good mechanical one than pluses.

Pros

- Price (for mechanical) - Backlight with the possibility of various tricky settings - In terms of directly working with the keyboard, I did not feel any obvious advantages. I handed over the keyboard the next day. However, I'm not saying that the keyboard is bad. It just doesn't seem to suit my needs (I wanted something versatile for both work and play; I have to type quite a lot).

Cons

I theoretically understood the cons (therefore, you don’t have to throw slippers that “this is mechanics, it should make noise”, etc.), but practically until you work with the keyboard for an hour or two, it’s difficult to feel all this. - Red switches without tactile feedback seemed rather indistinct. The button, with a certain effort, simply starts to be pressed evenly and at some point (somewhere in a millimeter and a half) it works without any identification marks. The button is pressed with the same force until it stops. In principle, with fast printing, all this is not important - you hammer and hammer, it does not affect the speed, but in general it causes discomfort. They say that red is optimal for gamers, but even gamers sometimes need to print something . In short, for an amateur. - It's still high. For 10 years of using slims, I have lost the habit of high keys. In itself, it can be okay, and you could get used to it back if there were any obvious pluses, but I didn’t see them at all. - Probably, the features of a particular model or mechanics from A4Tech in principle - the button caps stagger quite strongly, go somewhere by a millimeter. With fast printing, it seems imperceptible, but still not very pleasant. Although I felt the old membrane - they also go back and forth a millimeter, and I never noticed this. In the older model B975, the switches already have some kind of stabilizers that partly cope with the problem, but not completely. - Even with quiet "silent" switches, the keyboard is quite noisy. Perhaps noisier than the old membrane claves. Apparently, the knock occurs at the moment the key is pressed completely, and at the same time, unlike the membrane, it is not softened by anything. At speeds of 500+ cpm, all this is hammering into the ears with such a rather strong burst. With clicking switches, in theory, it should be the same + more clicks themselves. Although, perhaps this would just change the overall sound a little and make it more comfortable, I don’t know.
