It is by no means a necessity to play well. But they do feel pretty nice. I hate typing on anything else now

I play mania for a while now but I still use my non mechanical keyboard because i don't like how loud they are. I still want to improve in Osu and I want to ask if a mechanical keyboard is essential to "get gud"
thx in advance
That's not the the correct answer at all to be honest. In my opinion, having a mechanical keyboard gives you some kind of extra comfort while playing if we have to compare between rubber dome and mech. I have had a rubber dome keyboard for 2 years and when I changed to mechanical keyboard, the difference was extremely big. I earned specially dexterity and speed but I also skillboosted in every aspect 2 days after getting the keyboard. It takes a few hours/days in getting used to it if you're switching to mech after using rubber dome, but I think It's not 100% necessary to buy one mech.Minisora wrote:

Same here. 10% difference in typing speed and much lower accuracy when I return to laptop keyboard.Sandy Hoey wrote:

Listen to the based asian of wisdomstep mania wrote:
get mech after getting good enough. roughly speaking, good means luminal in 4k or gamma dan in 7k at least
mech would make you better if you are good
but nothing'll happen if you're noob
also to answer the question, mech isn't necessary.
there are several membrane kbs that are good enough to play the game, and cheaper than mech.
you should just find out kb that fits you and has reasonable price

Older keyboards with the PS/2 connector (old round connector) are actually better than USB keyboards since they never suffer from the 6 key limit lol.AncuL wrote:

Maybe your ancient is different from my ancient lol. My old keyboard has a 10-15% chance of a key being stuck from hitting too hard.AncuL wrote:

Only high-end PS/2 keyboards and motherboards support NKRO (both the keyboard and the motherboard had to support it). The standard for most keyboards/motherboards in the PS/2-era was a 2 key limit (not including modifier keys such as Ctrl/Alt/Shift) (Trying to press more keys usually made the PC ignore all input and start beeping).Bobbias wrote:

Also, I can't play on a mech. I bought one and never use it for osu. I play exclusively on laptop.
