Mechanical key differences

I recently got a cherry mx key sampler I love the feel of blue but dislike the sound
I figured brown would be the next step but it's tactile feedback bump  as you push down is higher then the blue and I dislike the feel of it...
Yet on paper I thought they had the same.. Have I just got a faulty key?

Nope, you're feeling the placebo effect of noise from blues I believe.

I thought this myself but when I checked the keys side by side when pressed before the bump there was a noticeable distance difference...

So are browns the key that is most like blues without the click?

Pretty much. Did your tester come with Clears?

Yeah it does have clears but they seem a bit more weighty then I would like

Well blues or browns are your options then. You can try o-rings on MX Browns to make them feel "heavier."
