I know neither of them are mechanical, but after using a mechanical keyboard for a while and using a membrane at a friend's, I realized how much more I like the membrane than the mechanical.So, yes, that does mean I'm one of the few who would prefer a membrane xD Anyway, I'm trying to decide between these two keyboards, and they both seem pretty good. Also, I'm, not on a budget, so price isn't that big of a deal to me. If you have any other recommendations, please share! Thanks!
