Editing Semi-mechanical keyboard

The term '''semi-mechanical keyboard''' could refer to any of the following:

* A keyboard where a portion of the keys have [[Switch_terminology#Mechanical_keyswitch|mechanical key switches]] and the other have not ([[rubber dome|rubber dome switches]]).
:Example: [[Corsair Vengeance K90]]

* A keyboard with key switches that some would describe as being "semi-mechanical" or "half-mechanical". These often have a mechanism over a [[membrane]] (See [[:Category:Membrane switches]]) or rubber domes integrated into individual switch modules. This usage is not common and would in some meanings encompass many keyboards that are otherwise widely considered to be [[Mechanical keyboard|mechanical]], for example the [[IBM Model M]]. Tai-Hao use the term in reference to their former [[Tai-Hao APC semi-mechanical|APC semi-mechanical]] series, which is [[spring-over-membrane]] with click leaves.

* A marketing term for a [[rubber dome]] keyboard with individual [[slider]]s. This ''usage'' is relatively new whereas rubber domes with sliders are not. It has occurred as a market reaction to the recent resurgence of [[mechanical keyboard]]s. The keycaps and sliders often have [[Cherry MX mount]].
