there are three fundamental kinds of cherry mx switches, and each kind comes in two "strenghts" or whatever you'd call it

red/black - linear
brown/clear - tactile
blue/green - tactile AND clicky



there's you're lesson for the day



on top of those however, I believe the materialt he key caps are made out of contribute more than one might think. I wonder if the reason I prefer these clears to blues is PBT over ABS

the lesson is don't ever try something nicer

I have an old board with alps. they are ok.


the hosed up reality is that I am a typing goddess when I am on clears with pbt caps. that is the absolute end of the knowledge required

Cherry switches are a noob trap designed for people that think they like nice keyboards but really they just can't afford a MANS keyboard.

in all honesty it IS closer to rubber dome than cherry switches

but contrary to dell keyboards (some of which are p good for rubber dome imo) they are all identical and weighted

also they switch around 60% travel as opposed to max-ish travel

Hi guys, I'm the poor person that Salt Fish pays to argue with trolls on Internet forums. Akadajet; I get that you can't afford a topre keyboard. I too am impoverished and can only afford a meager Filco Majestouch NKRO with Cherry MX blues, so I understand all too well what you're going through. Having said that you're an idiot loser and a stupid gently caress faced loser rear end in a top hat eat poo poo you poor idiot.
