When it comes to the world of PC peripherals there is nothing more coveted, mythologized, or consuming than mechanical keyboards.

It’s become so deep that if you don't have one yourself, you are led to believe that you’re missing out. That there’s a hole in your life that can only be filled by a rectangular slab of metal or plastic.

Sure, you can argue that other pieces of one's setup are more integral to their overall experience. But there is nothing more personalized and customizable than your keyboard.

Now that also means that the mechanical keyboard community can also be one of the most fanatical.

Since there is basically no ceiling for how unique your keyboard can be, you can fall down a rabbit hole that could end up costing you a pretty penny.

That being said, it is pretty incredible how far keyboard tech has come in the last ten years. But the question remains… is any of it worth it?

Are all the clickity clackity switches, RGB settings, and custom caps just filler? Have we strayed too far from the intended function of keyboards? Do mechanical keyboards actually provide any competitive edge?
