There is a typical advantage to each, but most of the time it’s up to user preference. The Tactile keys provide a bit of a click midway through the stroke of the keypress, while the linear keys feature a smooth, uninterrupted feel to each press. For this particular keyboard you have the option of selecting either Tactile or Linear which effect the overall “feel” of the key press.
With that being said, let’s dive into the review by first taking a closer look at the technical specifications!
