Should You Buy a Mechanical Keyboard?
Consider if you type heavily or game for long sessions. Clicky switches in an open office are antisocial — test your switch type and confirm the return policy.
Red flags

- Buying without trying the switch type — feel is personal and polarising
- Cheap keycaps with thin legends that fade within months
