Ironically, mechanical keyboards started out with the legendary IBM mechanical keyboards. However, today, many know mechanical keyboards for gaming or are a part of the elite “PC” culture.
But where does Mac fit into this? To take a wild guess, it’s partly blamed on the “hybrids” out there that use both PC and Mac. These are designers, sound engineers, photographers, streamers, developers, etc… who probably have some interest in gaming or tedious amounts of time and investment to make their workstations look & feel incredible. The downside, since this is a recent fad, there aren’t a lot of Mac-specific mechanical keyboards. At most, you’ll find hybrid compatibility. Keychron at least provides Mac keycaps and Macally builds Mac-specific shortcuts into the board, already pre-programmed.
