Default guide to mechnical keyboards

(keyboards with mechanical switches as opposed to the common rubber dome)

I got one of these Unicomp keyboards which has buckling springs:

It's pretty nice, but the space bar is a little squishy on depression so I'm looking for a different one. I think I might try this Filco with Cherry Browns:

It's really nice. Much quieter to type on, less force required.
