The Comparison
First, let’s discuss size. A capacitive keyboard is essentially smaller
in all dimensions than a keyswitch keyboard, and it can be used for smaller
objects (ex. laptops). Keyswitch keyboards are simple to make and can be
very inexpensive, but capacitive keyboards run fairly cheap too. Keyswitch
keyboards are very easy to maintenance, whereas capacitive keyboards can
rarely be repaired. On a side not, capacitive keyboards cost as much as
the repair job. So you are basically granted with a new keyboard. Capacitive
keyboards are considered less complex, more durable, and overall cheaper
than keyswitch keyboards. In my opinion, keyswitch keyboards are becoming
or are almost already obsolete in today’s world.
