Favorite Cherry MX Switch

[xBlizzDevious]

I've only used reds and blues, but from that, I have to say that blues are better. They just feel so much more pleasant to type on. And yeah, they're loud. But they're not so loud that you can't hear music/games/whatever else over them.

 

The tactile click just feels so much better than reds and reds feel so much better than membrane. I just think that anything else feels "mushy" now that I'm used to blues.

blues because of the satisfying sound. and it's the right weight for me. browns are too light for me.

[asim1999]

Yep lol, but I am a bit weird so it makes sense.

Everyone to their own opinion, so i understand why u may like the opposite

But will browns help with typing and gaming (less fatigue)

Blue switch; they have low resistance, smoother than brown switches, and clicky.

Low resistance?

I though they were some of the heaviest switches?

[TBNRunity]

Reds are only good at typing if you're good at typing with reds lol. It took me like a year of typing with reds to be able to type quickly without tons of typo's but now that i'm used to them i would definitely agree and say they are great for typing. Also yea definitely good for gaming.

Haha, yea when I first got mine I was always pressing keys next to them. I used a blue keyboard before my red ones so it was a little weird.

They have a really far activation point but I don't think they are too tough to press like blacks.

Really love my MX Browns due to the low noise. I've never had any problems with them either

So much people use blues

Grey switches are the heaviest of the MX. Blue switches are just as light as reds, which is the lightest of the switches. On the documentation browns have a lower force than blues, but in real life it doesn't feel that way.

That is why i like browns.

 

because the death star destroys a planet ?

I have never had a mechanical keyboard, but I'm looking into getting Browns because I think it would fit what I do

Weren't red the easiest , then blue and brown ?

[Dani360c]

Browns, because thats what the g710+ came with, they're great though, but can be heavy in running sims

[KE2012]

Brows, rigt type of click feeling:sound ratio for me. Althogh If I tried a switch that had the same type of force required as blue and the sound of browns I would probably prefer that switch.

[H4X3R]

because the death star destroys a planet ?

No, because of the same reason as you. 

The death star is an upgrade to your ion cannon.

[DeViLzzz]

I voted other.  I like any switch that is a free switch. Give them to me.

You should add green to your poll.

I have typed on red switches for two years now, and i still

make typos all over the place. Not to mention the switches

are incredibly harsh on the fingers for any heavy typer.

By going those choices and the documentation from lowest to highest force: red(45),brown(45), and blue(50). Source: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_MX

I like browns, since they're the only ones I've spent a lot of time with. I would probably like blues as well since that click is nice; just a bit too loud I think. 

 

I want to get a mx clear keyboard since browns feel a bit light to me, but can't justify the purchase when I already have a really expensive keyboard.
