Is this a mechanical keyboard?

I have not opened it up but I don't think it is mechanical. However, it is a good keyboard. The key have a good feel to them and they are pressed. A lot better than most non-mechanical keyboards. And for the money that you save it is definitely worth it. I use it for gaming. The backlight is pretty bright and the keys letters don't show in the dark so it isn't good for playing in the dark (which I am told repeatedly by my wife that I shouldn't play in the dark anyway). However, I really like the feel of the keyboard and the mouse is totally awesome. They both have long cords as well.

This is not a mechanical keyboard. The LED backlight is also not very bright. The brightest light on the keyboard is the Caps Lock, Scroll Lock and Num Lock indicator lights. The key backlighting is actually very dull, and in the dark, your display will likely wash out the light anyway rendering it essentially useless.

Yes. It is. You can also change the way the buttons respond in case you use it with a windows OS. I'm using the keyboard with windows. Cheers.

It isn't mechanical. I thought it was when I purchased it, however, I have been very satisfied with it.

These are full sized mechanical keys, not Cherry MX. Alot like oldschool keyboards but still nicer quality.I've been very hard on mine and it is holding up like a trooper. Best thing about it is can choose any color for backlight and the volume wheel feels great.

Yes, it is a silicon keyboard. I find the keyboard very difficult to use and it hasn't really gotten better over time. Planning to change out my keyboard at some point.

Yes. This is a plug and play standard midi keyboard. It only has the three octave keyboard and pitch glide and vibrato controls.

It's Membrane non-mech keys, It's a good keyboard though for being rubber-dome. Might i recommend Tesoro Keyboards if you are looking for a mech, That's what i use now and they have all types of switches.

To answer your question, I have to ask a question of my own.By mechanical, I assume you mean that the keys move up and down rather than staying in one place, sort of the difference between a conventional keyboard and a touch screen?If so, it's still a conventional mechanical keyboard, and a pretty good one at that, as I bought this about two years ago, and I'm typing this response on it.Still works perfectly.

Yes it is. I bought one to go with mine. Be aware that it is a small keyboard, it is difficult to type with two hands.

It is a wired keyboard. I would not recommend this keyboard. I have had my for 7-8 months now and the labels on the keys are wearing off already. Also, while the width is ergonomic they have made it harder to reach the number keys at the top as they have added an extra row of keys on the bottom compared to other standard keyboards.

No, this is a very low profile keyboard with thin keys, not at all like a regular keyboard. It's closer to a laptop keyboard.

It's not cherry switches. It's a typical membrane keyboard, not a mechanical.

I believe it is. I ordered for mine an iPad mini from brooks tone with a keyboard built in. Very nice

No. This keyboard has Rubber Dome switches instead of Mechanical switches for the keys. You can visit the Corsair website for the full catalog of keyboards that have different features and key switches.
