The primary goal with this list is to collect as many keyboards as possible that make use of mechanical switches and are currently available through the retail market (so no custom builds, kits, mods or prototypes). This list provides a way to quickly and easily identify particular models and make comparisons between mechanical keyboards that interest you. Or learn about a great new mech you never knew existed in the first place.
We can’t achieve this goal without your help. If you’re aware of a mechanical keyboard that has been left off or happen to come across one that isn’t listed please contact MechType and share as many details as you can.
Notes: Many boards on this list are arranged by line/family to avoid redundancy. For example, the Razer BlackWidow line of mechanical keyboards has two main layouts (Full Size and TKL) with a large variety of flavors in switch type, backlight and game branding. Rather than listing each board with minor differences individually, they have been categorized together. Topre switches are also included in this list. Though somewhat of a controversial topic (Topre is technically a hybrid dome with slider design, not considered a 100% mechanical switch), they’re still very popular among the community and many feel Topre should be represented.
