Your Guide to Top Mount Mechanical Keyboards

Considering a top mount mechanical keyboard? This style is known for its unique feel and construction. Below, we answer common questions to help you understand if a top mount keyboard is the right choice for your setup.

What is a top mount mechanical keyboard?

A top mount mechanical keyboard is one where the switch plate is screwed directly into the top half of the keyboard's case. This design provides a stiff and uniform typing experience because the plate has direct, solid contact points with the case structure.

What are the advantages of a top mount design?

Top mount designs offer a consistent typing feel across the entire keyboard due to the direct plate-to-case mounting. They are also often simpler in construction, which can appeal to users who prefer a straightforward build. The sound profile can be more direct and less muted compared to gasket or tray mount keyboards.

How does top mount affect typing feel and sound?

Top mounting typically results in a firmer typing experience with less flex than gasket-mounted keyboards. The sound is often described as more direct and resonant, as vibrations travel from the plate directly to the case. The specific feel and sound will still vary based on plate material, case material, switches, and keycaps.

Are top mount keyboards good for gaming or typing?

Yes, top mount keyboards can be excellent for both gaming and typing. The consistent and firm feedback is appreciated by many typists for accuracy, while gamers might prefer the reliable actuation. However, preference for typing feel is subjective, so it depends on individual taste.

Can I customize a top mount custom keyboard?

Absolutely. While the mounting style is fixed, most top mount custom keyboards allow for customization of switches (often hot-swappable), keycaps, stabilizers, and sometimes even the plate material. This allows you to tailor the keyboard's performance and aesthetics to your liking.

What should I consider when choosing a top mount keyboard?

When selecting a top mount mechanical keyboard, consider the case material (e.g., aluminum, polycarbonate), plate material (e.g., brass, FR4, carbon fiber), layout, PCB features (hot-swap, QMK/VIA support), and overall aesthetics. Also, think about the kind of sound and feel you prefer, as top mount keyboards offer a distinct experience.
