The rabbit hole of mechanical keyboards can be deep indeed, with various manufacturers, switches, models, features and software to keep track of. But it's a sector of the PC market that has boomed, as more and more gamers learn to appreciate the value of upgrading from mushy membrane keyboards.

There's an email sitting in my inbox now: $49 Cherry MX Red gaming keyboard. It's not actually a Cherry keyboard, even though the switches are.
