Mechanical keyboards bring a good experience to our daily work, that is indisputable. However, how to choose a mechanical keyboard to bring about work efficiency as well as optimize the experience is quite a headache for beginners. So what is the best choice of mechanical keyboard for your needs and work?
1. Switch - The soul of mechanical keyboard
One of the first factors you should pay attention to when choosing a mechanical keyboard is choosing the type of Switch that suits the nature of the job.
Admittedly, the clicking sounds that mechanical keyboards equipped with Blue Switches bring to users are really "pleasant to the ears", however, the noise that this type of keyboard brings to surrounding users (especially in the office area) is not very pleasant.
Mechanical keyboards equipped with Red Switch or Brown Switch provide a more pleasant typing sound than Blue Switch. It is “gentler” - That is the prerequisite to help you avoid the unfriendly looks that your colleagues give you when you are gliding your hands on mechanical keyboard clusters with “noisy” Blue Switch.
If you are a user in this environment and do not want to bother your colleagues, then mechanical keyboards equipped with Brown Switch or Red Switch are definitely a much better choice than Blue Switch. 
2. What is the appropriate keyboard layout?
If your job requires you to move a lot (content creation, coder, gamer, creative people in general...) then you should definitely equip yourself with a 76 or 86% sized mechanical keyboard. This is the "standard" mechanical keyboard size that focuses on compactness and convenience for those whose jobs require a lot of movement, but it still has all the features of a traditional full-size mechanical keyboard.
Of course, in today's market, you can find mechanical keyboards of all different sizes, some of which only have 40 keys, very small, very convenient to move. But for me personally, if you are not someone with a "very specific" job, you absolutely should not buy such mini-sized keyboards, the typing feeling is quite uncomfortable and it is not true that "the smaller the cheaper"!
Full-size mechanical keyboards can also be considered keyboards for people with specific jobs. A typical example of this user group is accounting. If you are a person working in this field, the numeric keypad will be a "powerful assistant" in your work. Of course, if you are a gamer who "try hard" in some FPS games, you have a "full option" computer case and a very fancy 120FPS monitor at home, then a full-size mechanical keyboard will also be a choice that is difficult for any competitor to surpass.
3. Wired and wireless?
This issue is also worth noting. This greatly affects the working experience and the neatness of the working corner. Currently, with the development of Bluetooth technology, data transmission and response speed are almost wired. So if you choose a keyboard for work, you should consider using a wireless keyboard.
And those are some notes when choosing a mechanical keyboard that is suitable for your work. In general, the decision still depends largely on your preferences, no one will prohibit an accountant from buying a mini mechanical keyboard. However, all should have a certain suitability, optimizing the working experience with a mechanical keyboard will help you increase your work performance significantly!
