This is the video that I was searching for. No talking and intro, straight to the point 🤩🤩
People kept saying on another one of my videos that they just wanted to hear the difference. So I made this video and people like it! 👌
Very helpful indeed
@@MattieKB And we thank you for it however the mic is too far away and the audio is boosted which ruins the ASMR tingles.
true
@@MattieKB hey i got myself new keyboard with red kailh switches, and im wondering, is there much difference between same switches but like cherry mx, gateron, outemu or kailh
I like the blue switch so my boss and my co-workers know when I'm working hard to earn every dollar.
Same here.
😭
it's also a good strategy to stop forcing you into the office LOL
My co-worker punched me for blue switches on a bad day. 😞
xDDD
No 2 minute intro that repeats the title?
No jingle animation?
This is the perfect video for this type of review ! thank you very much :) I think I'll go with brown switches because I want my gf to be able to sleep when I'm gaming lol
I hate when videos don’t actually start for 1,2,4 minutes!
and I know they were not covered in this video, but you should check out cherry mx silent red switches if you want a quiet switch.
this is so thoughtful. i hope the browns worked out for you guys!!
The neighbors like my blue switch keyboard so much that they threw a brick through my window so they could hear it better.
Nice lol

Thanks for this really detailed and clear video... I have been searching for this kind of detailed comparison video ever since I bought my first mechanical keyboard with brown switches, just to see what I have been missing if any. I think I have made the correct choice as I like the tactile feel and relatively quiet keystrokes of the brown switches.
Thanks again.
As someone who doesn't have the opportunity to try different keyboards, but cares about the types of switches, this is awesome. Thank you.
Get a switch tester, and never buy cherry switches, please.

Thanks, finally a video that offers what most people are looking for when it comes to comparison. I'm torn between red and brown and this video helps me a lot.
i subbed just cah the vid was so perfect. no nonsense no bullshit. literally exactly what i searched for and what i wanted. no ads no dragging it out. perfect content my friend.
He even changed his lightstrip color to the switch color
How convenient.
nice sight bro
I saw red as brown 🥴
why do you lie?

wait who types with their pinky XD

We are the same though, pinky raising when I type.
My pinky is like dead when I am typing
@RenTheHedgehog me too but not with right pinky
this vid is so good that it has entered into my playlist "keyboard parts"
honestly the brown switch seems perfect to me, i don't want something too noisy, especially when were talking about the spacebar
it is quiet and it still has this nice tactile feedback of a mechanical keyboard. red switch is worse than a membrane keyboard. u can never know when it activates because it doesnt have any sound or bump feedback

Literally just right to the point, and well explained. Great vid, it helps me a lot to hear the actual difference between the blue and the red.
yea, i just started watching and i love how he goes right to the point and doesn't talk for 20 minutes
The best comparison video in all the internet, without a lot of unuseful talking! Great
This is literally Keyboard's ASMR (btw the comparison i've been looking for)
ive had a mechanical keyboard with very loud clicky sound for as long as i can remember( blue switches ). very recently switched to a keyboard with brown switches and man its such a delight being able to type without parents/roommate/girlfriend making comments about me being loud on the pc :D
The best video for aouncd checking of switches... just straightforward! no nonsense talking
oh god, thank you for this kind of UA-camrs! no talkshit. no crap like "hello and follow". just showing the main thing in one minute.
Appreciate the comment!
Thanks for making this video! It helps a lot :D I've tried both brown switches and red switches. I like red switches more because I can use it at home and at the office. But after using red switches for a while, I got a brown switch keyboard, and I noticed that when using it, I actually get a little more tired from typing. I'm a fast touch-typist, and I tend to be brutal on my keys, but I never thought that the actuation force thing would have an effect on my typing stamina :S
browns and red have the same actuation
So which one is less tired for typers? Red or brown??
@@acelinoreaper5629 " I got a brown switch keyboard, and I noticed that when using it, I actually get a little more tired from typing" --> Brown is more tired.
@@chrissizemore3424 yes same actuation so , bullshit ?
@@trakha1067 So you mean Red is good to go? Since I am more on typing works
With brown switches and o rings you can have a tactile nearly silent keyboard which is perfect for live streaming or if you are a nocturnal gamer parent with young kids
Good to know
So you put small o-rings under every keycap well where it bottoms out?
This is the best explanation video ever. No talking just presentation and comparison~
honestly because of your vid its simple to put it that using large text for describing is much more better than a review that takes about 10-15mins of talking to review a comparison well done bro.
10/10 video. gets everything straight to the point as exactly as what the title said
I’ve only had experience with Blue Switches but recently I’ve been liking the sound of Brown switches. It’s like red but more round and whole with the typing sound.
Omg same
i’ve been wanting to get the blue switches, does the sound become annoying? or do you just get used to it
C the clicky sound of blue switches aren’t as bad as many people say honestly. As a programmer who spends most of my time on a computer I thought I wanted a kind of keyboard with that kind of feedback kinda like of a typewriter or something. I liked it and used it for a good few years before I passed it on to another worker who needed it. Time passes and I found myself spending more time on a computer for work and was looking for another good mechanical keyboard.
Doing some research and looking into some videos here made me realize the clicky sound of blue switches ISN’T really the one that I was really looking for.
My mother is an accountant and spending time as a kid around her while she was working I find her always clacking away with those really old and big calculators that has a printer built-in that prints the numbers on a small piece of paper similar to a cash register.
I would lul myself to sleep with the sound of those CLACKING keys that she types on the calculator. It was a very comforting sound to me and still makes me reminisce that nice wholesome sound today.
When I got the chance to do some research more on red switches and watching and hearing their typing test, I realized I wanted more of that CLACK than the CLICK!
the problem with red switches is you sacrifice the tactile feel that you get with blue switches. Then theres brown switches. Which are basically the same as the blue switches minus that CLICK sound.
That being said, I finally decided on getting an Akko retro keyboard with brown switches and I’ve never been happier with my purchase. If I can turn back time and had the chance to actually test, hands on, with the blue and brown switches, maybe I would have chosen the browns as my first mechanical keyboard.
To summarize, blue switches are okay, the clicky sound aren’t really as annoying as most people say, and you wouldn’t be missing anything BUT, if you get the chance, try out other switches if you get the opportunity to do so.
Good luck on your decision and let me know what you ended up buying!
Unboxed Experience thank you! that was so helpful! i’ll be sure to see if i can try them out sometime
@@itsquix1111 Blue switches are okay its just if you are in a work environment it might get annoying, if youre looking for a quiet and resposive feel brown is the way if youre a mixed person who do gaming and typing work then red is the best
This video is perfect! Exactly what I am looking for. No long intro and having to skim to find what I am looking for! I love then end where the three are looped back to back. Super helpful! Thank you!
Great vid. I guess I'll have a set of brown ones as I appreciate having some tactile feedback (so not red) and also being able to type quietly (so not blue). Thanks!
Thank you for keeping things simple and clean.
honestly best comparison i’ve seen on youtube
you handle complex topics with such ease, it's inspiring!
I thought I wouldn't like it but blue switches are so amazing. It feels so precise and quick to type on. Very satisfying.
Your simple desceiptions of each type is perfect for my adhd brain to comprehend 😂 thank you! It's only taken me about 4 years to find a comparison video that makes me *this* sure about what keys i *really* want..
So which kb have you had within those 4 years?)
This was the most helpful straight to the point video I’ve ever watched in my life
thank you so much for helping me pick my keyboard this is much easier to pick now
I like the brown and red one bec they are so quiet, but blue has the coolest sound.
Easy quick comparison, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Brown and Red it's difficult to compare, but i have 2 options for you guys:
1. If you want a little more pressure and quiet you should choose Brown
2. If you do not like the pressure and only like quiet you should choose Red
For me personally i choose Brown because I feel Red does not feel every press down
Which is more quieter ??
@@not_ixi1672 red
@@not_ixi1672linear switches are the quietest.
yes, this simple video explain all that matter about this three popular keyboard switches.
this helped me a lot I'm trying to get a keyboard and it happened to have red switches and I don't know what that sounds like but know I do!!!
Subscribing because this is the best representation of switches I’ve seen. Less talking, very short video but very informative. Thanks!
I would personally get brown switches. I like all of the switches though. I like the browns because they are nice and silent and they have the tactile feeling. I like blue switches also but the sound can get annoying sometimes. It's a satisfying sound I don't want to hear it all the time. Red switches are good but I'd prefer the tactile feeling. All of the switches are good, it's just based on personal preference.

I intended to buy brown switches but I ended up getting a good deal for a blue switches keyboard. The first weeks were awesome, the tactile and the sound were really satisfying, but after a few months I realized just how loud they are if you live in a house that practically doesn't have sound barriers.
Everytime Im using my keyboard and there is someone in the room besides mine, they CAN hear it. It's very stressful because I know it can be annoying for them. It got to the point where I started to get annoyed as well but I don't have another keyboard and this one is still functional and relatively new.
I don't regret my purchase since it was still a good deal and a good first experience, but If you're someone that might experience the same problem as me, I would recommend you either choose a different switch or keep your old keyboard to take a break from the sound once you start to get tired of it. Taking breaks on my laptop is what keep me from buying a new one.
excellent video my friend, wish all comparison where made with this level of objectivity
The best comparison I have seen so far! The perfect way to understand the difference without the chitter-chatter!!
I'm binge watching short keyboard comparison videos at 2 am for no reason lol
Thank you for being able to do what other people can't do in 10 minutes in barely 2.
genuinely helped me pick which switches I need for my starter keyboard, MUCH appreciated!
the lights' color changing according to the switch was a subtle but very smart detail!
I really like the blue. Reminds me of when I was a kid lol. But I think I'd pick brown bc it sounds similar but a bit quieter
BLUE SWITCHES ARE FOR PPL LIKE OMAR
AMAZING VIDEO, Great explanation, I had no idea on the difference between red blue and brown until you!
I have a blue switch keyboard for work, but I want a red switch for home. Looking for the classic white keyboard with a keypad. 🤞🏻🤩 Love the short video! Thanks!
7 months later and this video is still the standard for switch comparison. Thank you sir.
well made.
In conclusion, I like the sound of the red switches and brown switches.
Blue sounds like it’d give me a headache
Perfect video. No intro, no music, no talk. Well I like red switch.
Thank you for actually getting right into it, so many other ppl talk for like 2 minutes before even starting a comparison
*this video is straight to the point and an asmr*
This is perfect thank you! Seems like the brown and red are nearly identical but I've seen others swear by one or the other. Is it all in the bump you feel?
Oh, thank you so much for this video!!! I'm very sensitive to sounds, so this helped me figure out what switch I wanted. I know it's an older vid but just had to pop in to say you rock!
Very nice video, maybe the only video with no talking and straight to the point! Congrats!
Thank you so much for this video!!!!! I was still confused about switches for the previous months but this has helped a lot. Direct and has also covered some areas I was curious about :D
I'd prefer the red switches the most just because it is perfect for gamers, it also sounds really nice. I don't really like loud and tactile switches. Brown switches are not the best but I would say it's the second best. Good video btw!
I'm just getting into buying a mechanical keyboard and it's so difficult to navigate all the options. This is a great help. Thanks!
appreciate your video. no time wasting, to the point❤
Good demonstration. I have been using a velocifire tkl01 that I bought for around $20 for the last few years which has brown switches and to me it has been comparable to $60-$100 keyboards
@Zach E I have that same keyboard lol
i like blue a lot but a lot of people dont espically if they are watching a stream or in a game ad hearing the person pressing the blue keys but i like streams with blue switches and could listen to them all day
Ahh thank you that was such a helpful and concise comparison
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you
I'm going for the blue switches. They're so satisfying :)
This is definitely one of the better comparison videos. Short and to the point, but still covers the points people actually want to know and hear. Cheers.

FINAL I found the best video to see what they sound like and it was very clear to hear
Since i really like the clicky sounds and the feel of a mechanical keyboard and i've tried all three types, here's my opinon, with number one being my preference:
3) Red: Personally, i don't like red switches. They're basically browns without a bump in the middle and when you press the keys it doesn't really give a good feeling of typing on a mechanical keyboard. They're soft and can register keystrokes easily which makes typos more frequent. Plus, They're more expensive than blue and brown switches.
2)Brown: I don't mind using brown switches. They're pretty good and are cheaper than red switches. They're silent and also have the bump, so typos aren't a problem. The only problem is that they aren't very comfortable (maybe it's just according to me) because they have the bump but don't make a satisfying sound.
1)Blue: These are my favorite type of switches. They're the cheapest, have a bump and have a satisfying sound. Typos aren't common at all and they're actually more durable than both of the above switches. But if you don't like clicky keyboards or are looking for a keyboard in an office or something then i recommend going for browns.
Legend. Thank you :)
