Mechanical keyboards have become extremely popular during the last few years.
Many people find the experience of typing on a mechanical keyboard highly enjoyable compared to that of typing on the common membrane keyboard.
Mechanical keyboards come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and some of the mechanical keyboards are customizable. Some people are even building their own mechanical keyboards. I have seen people that have gone to great lengths to customize their keyboards with stunning results.

Even cats are fans of mechanical keyboards.
