Question 1

Is this keyboard mecanical?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this keyboard uses mechanical key switches. It reminds me of the feel of some of the electric typewriters I used in the 1970s. If I wanted to type at high speed -- over 100 words/minute -- I would prefer a softer touch. But at my way slower speed, I welcome the firm feel and the tactile feedback. If you will be typing near people listening to music , TV, or on phone calls, they may object to a steady barrage of key clicks. Seems some people prefer soft and silent to a good positive feel. I also like to be able to rest my fingers lightly on the keys without getting strings of unwanted characters.

Question 2

How loud are the keys (compared to other mechanical keyboards)

Accepted Answer

My Matias Dvorak Keyboard is slightly quieter than the other two mechanical keyboards I have used: Keytronic and Cherry. The Matias spacebar and shift keys produce more sound than the alpha-numeric keys. The alpha-numeric keys are as quiet as some membrane keyboards I've used. If you are typing in the same room as someone who is watching TV, they may object to the sound from the Matias keyboard. There is an interesting article on mechanical keyboards from "PC World" that includes a table/chart showing the sound levels (decibels) of 6 mechanical and 2 membrane keyboards. The average levels are about 57 db and 51 db. The "PC World" article is at: http://www.pcworld.com/article/242037/mechanical_keyboard_faq_pick_the_right_switch.html  When I need another keyboard, I will not hesitate to purchase a Matias again.

Question 3

Where is the switch (or how do you switch) from qwerty to Dvorak on this Keyboard?

Accepted Answer

It's the small white one above the F11 key. It turns blue when it's in Dvorak mode, and is white in querty mode.

Question 4

does it have bluetooth capability?

Accepted Answer

The Matias Dvorak Keyboard is a wired USB keyboard. It lacks bluetooth capability.
