Except HDDs last like 5 times longer (and are more reliable), so you'd have to switch the durability of those two. Unless that's what you meantZenithPhantasm wrote:
Pretty sure if they did it with optical switches it would be more durable. Comparing a mechanical switch and an optical switch is like comparing a HDD vs a SSD.

Are mechanical keyboards worth it?

I once pondered about considering buying mechanical keyboards before, and I was conflicted because why should I buy a really expensive one when a mere rubber-dome type keyboard does the same thing?
Yet, I said, f*ck it and went out to buy some K70 blues—and it was the second best thing in the world, next to osu!. Yes, blues. Go away, blue switch haters.
It just goes to show that it takes the actual usage experience with a mechanical keyboard to make you fall in love with it.
Now go try one at your nearest computer peripherals store.

It depends how big your wallet is.
I would say go get one, or borrow one from a friend so you could try it out for yourself

I quite enjoy my Mechanical Keyboard, but it is far from a must have. To be honest I'd say that a 120hz monitor would have a better effect on your ability to play osu! than a mechanical keyboard. However, if you're considering buying stuff just to be good at osu! you're doing it wrong, just play more.
I can't see 120hz having any effect whatsoever unless we're talking about other gamemodes than standard.
I'd be able to read 10.3 HD right now if I wasn't using a shitty 60hz laptop monitor. Fingers too slow to keep up with most 10.3 maps anyways though.Saphirshroom wrote:

Oh yeah, no doubt on high ARs, but OP seemed far from wanting to play them. Or you can pull a hvick and just remember the maps, he plays on 60hz afaik.chainpullz wrote:

I have 120hz monitor and can't read AR10

This question's only answer is literally "Do I have the disposable income to spend on a mechanical keyboard?"
If yes, then go for it; you use your keyboard for more than just osu! so it is a decent purchase.
If no, then you probably have more to worry about than clicking circles with fancy buttons.

Hvick doesn't play on memory. It's not impossible to read 10.3 at 60hz, it's just more difficult. Going from 60hz to 120hz merely increases off your base ability to read higher AR. If you are like Maho, you're base ability is low enough that you can't even read ar10 at 120hz.Saphirshroom wrote:

Do I qualify as slightly retarded for my awful skillset
Do it, one of my best purchases and makes the experience so much better. Just don't spend too much money on the unnecessary features like gsync or IPS if you're mainly playing osu!.Khelly wrote:

Console osu! running at cinematic 24-30 fps is the way to go.

The answer to that is probably yes? But no more than that amount. It's just that I've been wondering if I should spend it on a keyboard or maybe games like Fire Emblem or Dengeki Bunko etc.Philantropist wrote:

keyboards arn't only for gaming
if you have the money it is worth even if you don't play video games
