Some keyboards are advertised as "memchanical" but this is mostly just a marketing term, it means that the keyboard is membrane but the brand has taken some steps to make the keyboard feel closer to a mechanical design. The two main types of switch you will encounter on your search are membrane and mechanical. These styles are largely reserved for keyboard enthusiasts as they take a fair bit of getting used to, for the majority of people we'd recommend sticking with either full-size or TKL. For example, 60% is a popular size that removes the function row and either relocates or removes the arrow keys.


Some designs are even smaller and are usually referred to as a percentage of the size of the traditional keyboard.
