ABS Plastic: This is one of the most common materials used for mechanical keyboards, boasting the advantage of being lightweight and inexpensive. However, it is also prone to wear and tear and discoloration, and its durability and feel are comparatively lower than other materials.

PBT plastic: This material of mechanical keyboard is usually more durable and stable than ABS plastic keyboards, and also has better hand feeling. In addition, the keycaps of PBT material are not easy to wear and fade.

Metal: The appearance of mechanical keyboard with metal material is more upscale and has certain texture, which is also more durable. However, the mechanical keyboard with metal material is also heavier, not suitable for carrying.

Wood: This is a relatively rare mechanical keyboard material with a unique texture and appearance. Wooden mechanical keyboards are relatively lightweight, but they are not as durable and stable as metal and plastic compared to other materials.


Silicone: Mechanical keyboards made of this material are relatively softer and quieter than other materials, and they are also lighter and cheaper. However, the keycap texture of silicone mechanical keyboards may not be as good as other materials.


Capacitive: This type of mechanical keyboard uses a capacitive switch instead of the traditional mechanical switch and the housing material will also be different. For example, the housing of Topre Realforce keyboards is usually made of high strength plastic or steel.


These are the common material types of mechanical keyboards, each with its own characteristics, so you can choose the appropriate mechanical keyboard according to your own needs and preferences.
