Frequently asked questions
What is KeebScout?
KeebScout is a free mechanical keyboard finder and spec database covering 502 keyboards and 227 switches that helps you choose the right keyboard and switches with normalized specs, honest comparisons, and no sponsored rankings.
How does the keyboard finder work?
The KeebScout keyboard finder filters 502 mechanical keyboards by use case, size, budget, connectivity, and hot-swap support, then ranks the boards that match all of your answers. Results come from the same neutral spec database as every page on the site; no placement is ever paid for.
What is the difference between linear, tactile, and clicky switches?
Linear switches move straight down with no bump and suit gaming; tactile switches add a bump you can feel at the actuation point and suit typing; clicky switches add the bump plus an audible click. Silent variants of linear and tactile switches use dampened stems for quiet offices.
Is KeebScout free?
Yes. KeebScout is free to use and reader-supported: some outbound retailer links are affiliate links that may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, which never affects rankings, specs, or recommendations. There is no paywall and no donation ask.
