    High-Profile Keys 43%
    Low-Profile Keys 57%

    Dear PC gamers in the Giant Bomb forums

    I would like to see you guys share your thoughts on these two types of key cases for the keyboard, so for me, I have been loving to use mechanical keyboards with RGB lights for gaming and decorated into a synthwave-themed desktop gaming computer, because it's my personal favorite music genre.

    Sidenote: My personal favorite games for keyboard and mouse are Car Mechanic Simulator 2021, American Truck Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2 and PC Building Simulator.

    This would probably be easier to understand if you describe what you meant by "High Profile" and "Low Profile" since you refer to both cases and what I assume are keycaps in your original post.

    I am 100% a low-profile supporter. After using laptops for work, writing, and even gaming for over ten years; I have just gotten to the point to where I prefer the immediacy of low-profile switches to normal or high-profile switches.

    @bicycleham: Oh my bad, I could have mentioned keycaps instead.

    @zombiepie: I understood, I can sense the reason for people prefer to use low-profile keycaps in the office because it's quieter than high-profile keycaps so everyone can work more confidently, but for myself, I prefer to use the high-profile keyboard as part of my way to catch the 1980's vibes.
