What are the benefits to Mechanical Keyboards?
Traditional membrane (rubber dome) keyboards require you to press the button all the way down (bottom out) in order to activate, which can lead to finger fatigue, long-term discomfort, and lowered responsiveness.
 
CM Storm Mechanical keyboards utilize Cherry MX physical switches to determine the activation of when a key is pressed and in most cases do not require you to bottom-out on your keystrokes. That means as soon as your key is pressed to the activation point (2mm or half-way), the corresponding action will occur.
 
Users who type on their keyboards for extended periods of time - whether for work, gaming, or leisure - will feel the difference. Mechanical switches are also built from a higher quality, making them more durable for long term use (up to 50 million key presses).
 
It's important to know that a "gaming keyboard" is not necessarily a mechanical keyboard. Regardless of how many buttons or flashy lights equipped on the board, it will still lack the comfort, durability, and responsiveness of a mechanical equivalent.
 
 
Everyone has a type!
The keyboard is a very personal device - you use it every time you're at your PC - so why not go for a more satisfying experience?
 
CM Storm by Cooler Master provides a full line of mechanical keyboards with multiple Cherry MX switch types. The unique characteristics* to certain switch types include feedback (audio and/or tactile) as well as varying activation forces. Depending on the switch type chosen, it can provide an added level of customized comfort, responsiveness, and efficiency.
 
Cherry MX Red
- 45 gram actuation force
- Light key- Linear (no tactile bump and/or click)
 
Cherry MX Red switches are also linear, top-to-bottom switches, like the MX Blacks, but Reds require far less actuation force to press the button. Because they require less force to press down
