It's the question that every PC nerd has asked themselves as they've been poring over online store listings: should I buy a mechanical keyboard with clicky tactile switches, or one with silent and linear keys? I compared two otherwise identical keyboards over a couple of weeks of gaming and typing to find my own personal favourite -- and try to figure out why that was.

With the debut of Razer's new linear yellow keyboard switches, one of the gaming-est keyboards going gets a lot gamier. It's a board for playing, not so much for typing.
