This wiki includes a listing of currently shipping or easily available non-shipping mechanical switch keyboards sorted by switch type.

BEFORE YOU READ FURTHER make sure you have read the Geekhack Mechanical Switch Guide.

* The list is not meant to be complete. Some of the more obscure keyboard switch types and hard to find keyboards are purposely omitted since this is more of a new user guide, not a collector�s reference.
* I have purposely left out some of the more specialty variants of the common keyboard to keep things simple: ergonomic models, numpads, and LED variants. Do a search of the forum for these.
* The links and prices below are for US resellers and in US dollars. For International Resellers by Country see the links at the end.
* At the end of the post is a listing of the most popular keyboards reviewed here at Geekhack. Most will have multiple reviews. Note: this section is identical to the one in the Geekhack Mechanical Switch Guide.
