they are Cherry MX Brown clones with a higher actuation point. Tactile but no click.

EDIT: @TheSLSAMG corrected me. they aren't clones. they are engineered differently, but have a similar feeling to browns

Ok, so here is a question; What cherry keyswitch does "Romer-G" compare with. Is there tactile feedback, or an audible click, or is it simply a linear switch?

 

I'm tossing up between the K-70 and the Orion Spark.

Awesome, Thanks. I was hoping they would be like reds or browns, so that's good.

They aren't clones.

 

A clone would imply that they were made to both look and feel like an MX Brown, but the stem design is entirely different.
