MakeUseOf: It’s easy to take your keyboard for granted. They don’t seem to do anything besides sit on your desk, resisting the punishment of your fingertips. Upon closer examination, however, the keyboard becomes very important. It is, along with your mouse, one of two ways that you interact with your computer. And if you’re like me, and you use your computer for eight hours a day or more, the quality of the keyboard becomes very important.
Most keyboards use rubber domes to resist the user’s keystrokes, but some keyboards make use of mechanical switches. They’re much more expensive, and as a result the keyboards that use them are often $100 or more. That’s a lot – but let me make a case as to why the price is justified.

Kevin Raposo of KnowTechie writes: "The Nuphy Air60 is an overall great keyboard. I genuinely enjoyed typing on it. Other than a few hiccups, this is an easy keyboard to recommend."
