They still actuated quickly, as in laptop keyboards, while providing healthy travel for those used to full-sized mechanical switches. They're popular among gamers, due to a perceived speed advantage, but you'd have to be quite competitive (I'm not) for that to make a huge difference.īut with a little more height than other low-profile options and higher actuation force specs, the switches in the MX Keys proved to offer a nice middle ground. Some subpar options I've tried with shallow, mushy, linear low-profile switches and flat keycaps have scarred me a bit. I tend to be wary of low-profile mechanical keyboards.
