It's a fairly common theme to see technology or trends that are supposedly outdated to come back in the modern era in some form or another. It shouldn't be a surprise then that mechanical keyboards, which have largely been replaced by membrane keyboards, are resurfacing and gaining traction amongst die-hard enthusiasts and a new generation of both gamers and typists alike. I personally still remember when I had an old mechanical keyboard in my youth, mostly because the loud clacking of the keys is something very hard to forget. However, I can't even put a date on when I made the switch to membrane keyboards. In fact, I have no idea how I didn't realize that most keyboards were suddenly much quieter than what I was used to. Needless to say, mechanical keyboards became a long forgotten memory until very recently, when there was a sudden resurgence in their popularity. It then hit me just how much I missed the loud clicks and clacks, the keys with feedback you could actually feel. So when I was offered to review Thermaltake's Poseidon Z Illuminated Keyboard, I will admit I got giddy.
