Mouse and Keyboard

[JEMC]

I'm also after a new keyboard as the one I currently use is starting to give me problems (the A/D keys as well as the arrow keys get stuck, terrible for gaming), but I'm not a demanding user: a wired keyboard with a few media keys and that isn't like the keyboards from laptops (I hate them with passion).

Which advantage do the mechanical keyboards have over the regular ones? Stiffer keys? I've read that the keys do a "click" every time you press them, making them louder than regular ones, Is this true?

As for the mouse, I'm happy with my current one. It's a Logitech one (I don't remember which one but it was less than 20 €). Wired, works very well and man, I love the free wheel!
