@@melaniaslatan1177 I have a CyberPower Skorpion K2 and I hated the sound of it. I put some purple o rings (from my Cooler Master keyboard kit) and it has reduced the sound a bit. I won the keyboard btw and it didn't say what type it was, it's also an American keyboard and I'm from the UK.
my first mechanical keyboard is blue switch and honestly i love it, at first i hated the sound but now i kinda love it... the feel is amazing compared to membrane keyboard , i will never go back
get the Reds or Blues, it's either smooth and quiet or clicky and tactile.. Browns feels awkward.. theres abump but no sound, feels like theres dust in there thats making the gritty feeling.
No worries at all you spelled it just right. It's basically the pushback your receive when you press against the key. The more tactile it is the more resistance you will feel (relatively). The more linear it is the less resistance you will generally feel.
@@SoulOfTech OHHHHH that explains alot cuz i got red switches because it was recommended for gaming however i constantly press space accidentally mid games because i usually let my thumb rest on the spacebar (im usually used to laptop keyboards so that pressure was never enough to press down the spacebar) however with red mechanical switches the keys go down extremely easily and tbh im not much of a fan as almost nothing feels intentional as much as it is accidental because the slightest touch triggers the the key, now im sure thats a good thing for ultra precise gaming but i think i would like blue switches more as they feel more intentional with every key
@@kilosera well tbh i already switched to blue switches, and i already like those better, it was more of a feeling as well, linear felt to smooth to press down too much tbh that it wasnt to my liking, like i mentioned nothing felt intentional. i can confirm that tactile blue switches has solved that issue for me.
i probably gonna get a keyboard with brown switches because obivious blue is too loud. I tried red swtichies at my friend's gaming keyboard i like that its quiet but i dont feel like pressing it. When i used the keyboard it confused me so much. i dont know about brown keys but its look like something i might like it. i just want something quiet and makes me feel when pressed
how did it feel? am deciding to buy an RK61 with brown switches cuz its between wanting the feel of it being pressed while not being so loud, its a win win
I am guessing you are reffering to membrane keyboards. Just look for any keyboard that does not mention mechnial or optical. Usually membrane keyoards are dirt cheap and can be found at your local tech store or amazon.
Don't. They're shite. My roccat 121 aimo broke in 6 months. Switches slowly started malfunctioning and non responsive over time. I'm fucking struggling to type on it right now. I had the Ryos MK Pro which is still flawless after 7 years, which is why i wentt for this 121 aimo. Worst mistake.
Not all red switches are the same also mechanical switches are louder then their non mechanical counter parts no matter which type you get generally speaking.

@@vosvee1566 I hear you. Tactility is a characteristic. However brown switches are often referred to as “tactile”. I used both in a mutually exclusive manner. The names of the switches weren’t chosen or made by me so I cannot comment that.
They are, official cherry mx classification link below: www.cherryamericas.com/mx-rgb-brown-switch-kit#:~:text=The%20CHERRY%20MX%20BROWN%20switch,of%20over%20100%20million%20keystrokes.
They can be very helpful for people with weak muscle memory as well as people who need an acoustic validation when typing rapidly the tactility + sound provide a high degree of key stroke validation. Of course on that note they are the least favourable for high APM gaming due to the added resistance from the bumps.
sir pls help me decide brown or red. I've researched a lot. also lots of video. i can't decide if i need the tactile. I'm used to memorize only the keys. in not using sound to predict my typing. red or brown sir?
"As you can see, all three have a different feel"
yeah it does sound silly lol
@@SoulOfTechhow do you see feel lol
@@Charrky692i think that was the fucking point of the comment
I definitely prefer red switches because I need to use them at night when people are sleeping and they still feel nice upon pressing
But brown switch has more deep sound which considered "quiter" than the red..

hmm, sounds like I should get the browns then. I want as quiet as I can get.
when you are single, get blue. once you get married red is better haha

i better get blue switches then lol

I too had to switch to red!

Correct me if i spelled that wronf

The different friends in a group
Literally the smallest differences in sound and these people are like, “as you can see they are very different”
its not just the sound. They all feel very different
I just want to clarify, as blue switch has the bump when pressed does brown switch also have a bump cuz my friends cant describe it
Just what I was after! 💪🏽😋
Perfect!
What keycaps are these comparable with?
For common keyboards like Logitech K220, K375S, K380, which color switch is more suitable for them, is it blue, red or brown? TIA
Brown.
For those people who want mechanical keyboard with silent switch like brown i will prefer to get a membrane keyboard😂
I have blue switches rn and they sound nice but just very loud so ima get brown or red one but I don’t no which
like they trouble you if you are typing at night ??
how about green and grey? aren't they clicky too, similar to blue?
Oh thats why i like brown switches its more in between red or blue
I have the red swichtes

Once switching to low profile switches it’s hard to switch back!
yes LP's can be addicting!
red
Aren't they low profile?
No puedo creer lo mucho que me sirvió ver cómo se sienten

how feels that tactile? is that same feels as gaming laptop keyboard? rn I'm use red switch, but it's too smooth for me and I don't like it

Pls help me out which one is just nicer i dont care about anything

Cqn anyone tell me what is the bump on the brown does it feel the same like the red? 😢
oh, those bumps are is what makes it called "tactile" like a crunch or snap but i think the reds dont have those cuz yk its smooth
Ok, thank you !
which one is the best for gaming
Red.
@@slaughtered777 thank u
Then you've got about 300 different linear switches sounding anywhere from clacky to thoccy to creamy.... None of those use blue brown or red XD
red is better .. so that people at night sleeping wont complain you
Best switch for gaming valorant plzz
you may probably want red switches, they are the best option for gaming in general
Cherry Browns are linear tho
Nope, they are categorically tactile. I believe you are referring to Cherry Red.
Then there's Razer with their green switches that are actually blue switches
There's a slight difference between the two. Razer green switches take a little bit more force to actuate.
Red is my fave can I get some free red switches
Brown switch or red? Please help
Red feels softer to press and both about equally quit
I’m still not sure on what to pick do you have a preference
When in doubt go brown. It’s a safe option where you kinda get a bit of everything without too much of something.

i bloody hate loud keyboards. No idea what the appeal is.
brother tell me i m a software developer, which one should i choose blue or brown or red
If you are in an office then red for sure. Otherwise it comes down to your preference for sound and tactility.
