Why Upgrade Your Keyboard Switches?

Is it really worth the effort? Absolutely. For a fraction of the price of a new high-end board, you can completely transform your typing and gaming experience. If your current keyboard feels sluggish or one-note, a switch upgrade is the answer.

Sometimes, though, a full refresh is on the cards. If your peripherals have seen better days, upgrading to a brand-new keyboard and mouse combo might be the most cost-effective route. But for those who love their current board's layout and design, targeted switch replacement offers unparalleled customisation.

The Big Three: Linear, Tactile, or Clicky?

Choosing the right replacement keyboard switches comes down to understanding the three core "feels." Each type is designed for a different kind of user, and knowing the difference is key to a successful upgrade.

Linear Switches: The Gamer's Choice ⚡

Linear switches offer a smooth, consistent keystroke from top to bottom with no bump or click. This allows for rapid, uninterrupted key presses, making them ideal for fast-paced gaming where split-second reactions matter. They are also typically quieter, which is a bonus for late-night sessions or office environments.

Tactile Switches: The All-Rounder

Prefer a little feedback? Tactile switches provide a noticeable "bump" in the middle of the keypress to let you know the keystroke has been registered. This makes them fantastic for typing, as you don't need to "bottom out" (press the key all the way down), leading to faster and more accurate typing with less fatigue. They offer a great middle-ground for hybrid work-and-play setups. If you're unsure where to start, tactile is a safe bet.

Clicky Switches: Loud and Proud 🔊

Clicky switches are the most audacious of the bunch. They provide the same bump as a tactile switch but add a distinct and satisfying "click" sound. For typists who love auditory feedback and the classic mechanical keyboard sound, there's nothing better. Just be mindful of your housemates or colleagues... they might not appreciate it as much as you do!

And why stop at just the switches? A full customisation project can make your keyboard uniquely yours. Pair your new switches with a fresh set of keycaps to match your setup's colour scheme, and consider adding a comfortable wrist rest for better ergonomics during those long sessions. The cost of these small upgrades is minimal compared to the price of even our cheapest gaming keyboards, but the impact on feel and aesthetics is huge.
