I suppose this keyboard does not exist, but I want to check

[skaertus]

In the last year, I have been trying (and buying) a few mechanical keyboards, and they indeed provide a different experience. They all seem very nice, but for specific situations, and different from each other. The Outemu Blue switch is very clicky, but the sound and the force is different from the Razer Green; both are supposed to be similar to the Cherry Blue, which seems to be a middle term between them. I found them to be very nice, but sometimes I just want something faster and easier to type on such as the Cherry MX Red or the Cherry MX Speed. I also looked at other keyboards, but prevented from buying. However, it is not practical to use several keyboards; it becomes expensive to buy several of them, and it cumbersome to keep changing keyboards whenever I feel like.

I wonder whether there would be some sort of keyboard in which the features of the keys (such as the clickness, the sound, and the force) would be configurable (via software or another mechanism, and not by replacing each key manually). I mean, a keyboard in which I could configure the keys to behave like Cherry MX Blue or Red or Brown, depending on my mood. I suppose such a keyboard does not exist, as technical difficulties may prevent this. I tried to find something similar on Google, but, of course, the search results showed only keyboards in which you can configure the RGB lightning or the key functions.

So, I would like to check whether a keyboard with those features exists. If it does not (which is more likely), I would like to know if there is something even close to this. Perhaps some manufacturer even tried to think about this in the past, but scrapped the idea? Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Something like what you are wanting would require a new very different kind of switch to be invented. However this will likey be way expensive at first with many trials and errors.

Thanks. I suppose this should be the case, and that no such keyboard should be expected at any time soon.

No such as a perfect keyboard for all things, if there were, they would cost an Arm and Leg to get.

There sadly isn't such a thing ( would be awesome however!) There are keyboards however that lets you change the switches without the need to solder. I guess that comes closest to what you're looking for.

This is virtually impossible, since this are "mechanical" switches, so the word is telling you, it is a mechanical component and there's no way to change the behavior via software. It could be invented something that mechanically could switch every switch's clickness and hardness (and therefore the sound), but not via software. I doubt this will be invented anytime soon
Cheers!
