    • @Sharkcomet
      @Sharkcomet 3 роки тому +22

      @Leo Corrales Yes they are pretty different. Blue is clicky and speed silver is linear. Also silvers have a shorter actuation point which means they are "more responsive" for gaming. Blue is better for typing. I would suggest that you inform yourself on the different characteristics of the switches to really understand what you're looking for.

      @Tacfishy Thanks for stroking my ego lmao. I'm no expert but it depends what you looking for. There are three most common switch which are blue, brown and red. Blue (clicky) is the most noisy but it gives you a lot of feedback, it feels more "mechanical" if it makes sense. Good for typing not the best for gaming. Red (linears) don't give you any feedback but they actuate fast and are more silent. Linear switches are used a lot by fps pro players. Brown (tactile) are kind of in the middle. They give you a little bit of feedback but not like blues, more similar to a good rubber dome keyboard (kinda). If you're not a gamer don't buy red or linear switches because they are not the best for typing. If you are worried about noise or having the most optimal gaming keyboard don't buy blues. Also if your mic picks up a lot of noise your teammates will hate you for having blue switches. They all have their pros and cons it just depends what you are looking for when you buy your first mechanical keyboard.

      Browns feel sorta bad, because they have a tactile-ish bump without the clickiness, which make them feel like soggy cardboard. Get reds or clears, they feel amazing. And tbh blues aren't that much louder than any other switch because the majority of noise from typing comes from when the key cap hits the switch housing bottoming-out/when the switch stem hits the switch housing when going back up.

    • @sterkriger2572
      @sterkriger2572 7 років тому +51

      They are louder for the reason people think they are nice, the click. Bare they are alrealy loud typing they are very loud. Browns are basically a quieter blue with a less pronounced tactile bump.

      mx reds are a great start, though, like i said. my friends all swear by them. but if you want a bit of clicky feeling, mx browns are also great, theyre light and not hard to click down, basically just reds with a tactile bump.

    @OLDM4N-DE 7 років тому +3

    Glad you're back with a new keyboard/switch sorta video. ;) However, I think, the best thing to decide is for people to find out themselves. Testing. Because as much as you can recommend a certain swtich for lets say for gaming for example, it always depends on personal preference. For example, people recommend usually Reds or Browns for gaming. I am using blue switches, and would NEVER switch to anything but blues. I dont have that problem that, supposedly is a problem for "most" people, that its A) too hard to press or B) makes too much noise. So everyone will have other preference. But of course, its still important to let people know whats out there and whats the difference. But the most important I think is that you point out, that people should always only decide after trying Switches/Keyboards out themselves. Go into a store, order some that you potentially can return if not to your liking and so on. But never really decide for a recommendation or preference of other people. Its always nice to recommend something, because certain things are to ones personal liking, but its hard to stay subjective. One always naturally tries to recommend what he/she likes most. Thats normal. ;)
    I just think its important, at the end, to always recommend people to try things out themselves and then decide, not before.
    But great video, always nice how much effort you put in your videos.

    I have a Corsair K70 Cherry Brown. While I love the tactile feedback I found the Clack-Clack still too noisy for my liking. This is inherent in all keyboards no matter the switch because the key bottoms out against the board and makes that loud Clack. What I did was to buy a pack of dental rubber bands at my local drugstore and attach one per key (Google mechanical key o-ring mod for details). The rubber bands act as a shock-absorber. Now my KB is a lot quieter and I couldn't be happier.

    I like blue. I thought I might like brown, but I hated it and returned it. Best keyboard I ever used was an IBM keyboard on display locally at a Radio Shack in 1986 or 1987. I was there with my grandpa to buy a joystick and the feel of that keyboard was mesmerizing. I've never seen or felt anything like it since.

It can be used as a wired USB keyboard as well. Has a light blue backlight which is nice. I have a Redragon full sized and a Redragon without the "10 key" and finally a Reccazr full size. Out of all of them, I like the way the small Redragon sounds and then the Reccazr.

    I actually use a mixture of red, black, and brown switches all with O rings on my one handed gaming keyboard.
    The one I bought was all blue keys, which I replaced immediately. I ordered new switches at the same time and replaced them before I ever plugged it in.
    It's worth noting that I'm using Redragon hardware, so it's Outemu [Gateron] switches.
    My standard full KB is all red switches with O rings, which is super nice for typing.
    My one handed half keyboard for gaming is another matter, as it is actually nice to have different pressure keys for different things.
    My thumb rests on my spacebar and my pinky on the shift key, so red switches are too sensitive for those and I use black.
    I also like brown on the A+D keys, as red is also a bit sensitive for those keys as I often end up drifting to one side or the other when I don't intend to because of how I hold my hand with red keys. I like the extra "bump" brown has for feedback when I use them, and they are just as quiet as the other keys.
    All of the other keys I prefer red.
    I do have blue keys on my numbers row, but that's because I never use them due to having a gaming mouse with a 1-12 number pad on the side so I didn't bother with replacing them because I never use them when gaming anyway.

      TTC switch used to be a bad switch brand like Outemu but over time they have improved and upgraded their products a lot nowadays. Eg. TTC Bluish White, TTC Ace, TTC Gold Pink/ Gold Blue .
      As long as the switch's stem use the Cherry style stem ( the cross shape ) you can slap on it any keycaps set you can find on the market as long as the keycaps stem is also use Cherry style stem too. For replacement keycaps, I suggest Akko keycaps set - not only they are colorful but also fairly cheap too.

  • @dcobbism

    Good video, however the interesting thing which I think the video confirms is THEY ARE ALL CLICKY and loud. The blue may be slightly louder as it has a double click, but any / all of them are clicky and loud compared to a membrane keyboard. If you sit next to someone who has any color mechanical switch keyboard it's going to sound noisy. This whole blue is clicky and loud and red is silent is simply not true.
    My advice, go into a Best Buy and try out as many display models as you can before purchasing one, pull their keys off if you're not sure which is which. They are all audible because in the end you have plastic key hitting plastic, or metal, so there is no such thing as silent, blue is only slightly more loud in my opinion. Interestingly I went in thinking I would like the red, but actually kind of like the feel of the blue, and the brown just felt sluggish to me, so everyone is different, definitely go in and try them for yourself before buying, just don't forget your mask ;)

    If you want a very smooth linear switch, go with Green or Yellow Alps.

    If you want a clicky switch, go with Membrane Buckling Springs, Capacitive Buckling Springs, White Alps, or Blue Alps.
    These switches are heavier than Cherry MX , but in feel and sound, they destroy Cherry MX.
