Hello Diana, A scissor keyboard is simply the kind of switch that's being used for the keycaps---the mechanism that is used to type. The switch is what delivers the electrical signal to the circuit board and to your computer. Keyboard switches mainly have three key features; Response: how fast the switch can deliver the signal and be recognized by the computer; Sound: The volume as well as the sound characteristics of the switch; and Travel times: How far the key is going to “travel” when you push it. Scissor Switches are a type of keyboard switch with a criss-cross rubber that looks like the letter “X.” This mechanism serves as a layer that dampens typing sounds and allows faster actuation thanks to the low profile design of these switches. - Richard from Logitech
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.it's a matter of button 'feel'. A scissors keyboard has a more tactile touch like an older keyboard whereas a membrane keyboard is more like a touch screen
