Buy a switch tester, find your favourites and buy accordingly. 

thx...

im asking cause ik that lots of people are shitting on cherry so i just wanna know if mx switches are a good choice

So... 

Im going to buy the ducky Mecha Mini and sadly, its not offered in a hot-swap version, so ill have to choose cherry switches (MX Blue, brown, red, black, silent red, speed silver)

So i like linear and tactile...

So please tell me your opinions on which of these swtiches are smooth and worth typing on...

Hey there.

 

Kailh BOX Reds/Blacks are a good stock, non-lubed option. Quite smooth and stable by default. They don't take well to lubrication anyway.

 

Gaterons are smoother than Cherry MX's current lineup, decent at stock, very nice once lubed.

 

Cherry MXs... No comment.

 

As for Reds vs. Yellows vs. Blacks, actuation force increases from Red (45g) to Yellow (50g) to Black (60g). Pick Reds for a lighter typing experience, pick Blacks if you like to feel a little resistance.

 

If you're up for a bit of reading, here're some switch reviews you might find interesting:

• Cherry MX Black Review by sowon. (Note: Lubed.)
• Gateron Blacks vs. Kailh BOX Black vs. Cherry MX Black Review by LukeSavenije.
• Gateron Red Review by sowon. (Note: Lubed.)
• Gateron Yellow Review by sowon. (Note: Lubed.)

thx very much..... im split betwenn box red and blacks...

Do you want silent switches? 

 

If you want silence and smoothness, some sort of lubed (insert personal peference switch here) would be the best bet.

 

Get a Novelkeys switch tester, and choose 9 types of linear switches, choose your favourite and lube it.

silence not, linear thats not lubed and im split between gateron red, black,  yellow , kailh box red and black and thats it

So i use Outemu blue and im getting fatigued from the click, and i want linear since it doesnt make sound and i want it to be very smotth and not lubed sinc i mnot experienced with that nad i want the switches form cherry kaihua or gateron sen your opinions please

I'll go for the latter as the keyboard is always at my desk and I never used my keyboard to connect to my iPad.

good, than thats settled

Just now, mbntr said:

depens on what you need, If you need less latency use 2.4GHz otherwise go for bluetooth

exactly

Im planning to have a wireless setup and my keyboard(RK61) is capable of bluetooth. They say that bluetooth is not good because of latency so im considering buying a wireless mech keyboard. 

which is better? 

Welp @5GigaaHertz Its a double-edged Sword... Bluetooth gives your Device more battery Life, and the 2.4GHZ dongle gives you more performance

i wouldnt say  that the viper "dethroned" the GPW, it is still a great mouse and is used by multiple pros. if the GPW fits you better, there is no reason to pick the viper over it. 

Yes thank you

I have both the GPW and the Viper so I can answer any questions you might have. Both are really good, so no matter which one you pick, you can't go wrong. If you play palm grip (as you said you do), I'd probably get the G Pro Wireless as it has a noticeably bigger hump so it is more comfortable for palm. (The Viper is very low profile, similar to a Zowie FK1) 

 

TBH, the cheaper one is probably the best buy, since in terms of performance they are identical.

thank you.. it may be sound stupid, but the matte finish on the VU actually hurt my palm its like i rested and rubbed my palm on sandpaper... i hab no problems with the GPW

3 minutes ago, Oswin said:

so what opinions you are looking for exactly?

Primarily, i was spilt between GPW and VU and everyone was saying... OOO VU dethroned GPW here and there... and tbh i dont need 20.000 DPI or a charging dock for 190€...
And i just wanted to know if the gpw is still a good pick in 2020
(It is the 2nd best wirelesss mouse after VU after all)

ANd the GPW is discounted right new (the new model is 99€)

Logitech wireless mice double click within 12-18 months.  They don't run enough voltage to protect the switch contacts from oxidizing.  Don't recommend.  I returned my $150 g502 Lightspeed for double clicking in 6 months.  

 

I ended up buying a Glorious Model D and I'm over both wireless and "heavy" mice.    I miss the smooth logitech scroll wheel action but literally everything else about glorious is better.

 

If you want something productivity based, get a corded Logitech.

In my Region (Switzerland... Logitech  a swiss company) , Logitech started a refresh of the GPW... completely removing the doubleclick problem... the Model D is too large for me and ik, the model d- is coming but.... ill stick to the GPW... my desk is crowded with things and having a wireless mouse is refreshing

If it is of interest, it doesn't have to be bought at the same time, but you could add it later on if you feel like it. (assuming the mouse you're looking at is supported, I've not checked)

Yes, ill have a look later...

what other preferences that you might have? how about your measurements? would help in finding more options

17,5 cm... I prefer the fingertip grip and the palm grip.... and the GPW fits them perfectly...

13 minutes ago, Oswin said:

how about the G604? 

Sadly, im not a moba or mmo player 

1 minute ago, Oswin said:

the GPW is more expensive than the g703.....

yes, but i specifically limited my budget for the GPW and i dont like the g703 that much..
I dont have money for the powerplay sadly

4 minutes ago, porina said:

I went for the G703 myself, as it was a direct replacement for the corded version I used before. Used with the PowerPlay charging pad I don't need to remember to charge it. 

sadly my budget only can get the GPW...

If you are doing a lot of productivity, a MX Master 3s would be a good choice.

I like a minimalistic look... and by productivity i mean like web browsing, casual gaming from time to time
I like the g pros look a lot

Thanks tho...

G Pro is a solid choice imo.

Thanks...

Hey guys,

So i wanna cut my cord and get a great wireless gaming mouse... (though im not a enthusiast gamer, nor casual, doing a lot of productivity) 

But whatever, im thinking on getting the Logitech G Pro Wireless...
I like the minimalistic look but i just want to know from you guys if i should get it (i know the g pro has been dethroned by the viper ultimate, but i cant palm it i use the palm grip)

Pls send me your opinions

Greately appreciated

You don't need to justify anything. You just asked for people to give their opinion on what you are selecting for yourself. Each one of us have different opinions due to different experiences. If you think you've found the best to your needs, then just go for it.

Ok.. thanks, man....

Hey there. The GMMK does have an aluminum faceplate, but the bottom/base is plastic. Still feels very sturdy, though.

 

You'll be happy to know that the GMMK will be compatible with Kailh BOX Whites, too.

 

Eh, not my cup o' tea, but hey, its your keeb. The GMMK also optionally comes bundled with their Aura Keycaps (PBT, Pudding, Black/White, $27.99), take a look if you'd like? Other customization options also available on their site (The GMMK).

 

Just note that the bundled-in prices for switches on the Glorious's site are a tad more expensive compared to other vendors.

 

Edit: Just remembered something. I'm unsure whether The GMMK arrives fully-assembled if you order non-Brown switches? On the off-chance that you do need to assemble it yourself, this video might help:

  Reveal hidden contents

GMMK Assembly (Timestamp: 6:00 - 22:25

 

 

good. the base and the bottom dont worry me... since im not a keysmasher...

I love box whites,... i think that ´they are generally better than most of the clicky switches and has superb stabilization...

And since the RGB isnt a looker adding PBT Pudding caps is gonna be a nice touch
