Types Of Cherry Switches
Types Of Cherry Switches
The Cherry Reds and Blues are such a toss-up to take first! I like ‘em both, but for drastically different implementations! I’m certain many could relate. The reds are supreme when it comes to gaming, and I also like them in a dedicated numeric keypad as you can go fast while maintaining an extraordinarily high degree of accuracy! The blues, man, they’re just the right combination of smooth and that satisfying click that makes typing (read: pretty much anything other than gaming) actually enjoyable. It feels like you’re actually typing when partaking of the blues, and with mech switches feel is everything!
Come on now, why so many haters regarding the Browns? They really don’t suck! Think of the browns as blues that you could use without waking anybody else up. A more respectful blue per se. Seriously, very similar feel, just oodles less noise! On the subject of R-E-S-P-E-C-T, anyone comparing the Browns to the Blacks has to respectfully think this one through, the blacks may be OK for two things: (1) Gaming & (2) POS applications a/k/a Cash Register keyboards. They require a significant amount of force making them a bit (read: a veritable shit load) less dynamic if you will vs their blue counterparts. Unless you’re running a retail outlet and have a strong desire for your employees to hate you — blacks are nowhere near the top of this list. Sorry to be so forthright about it, but it does make sense. I’ll still respect your personal opinion because in the end, it’s a highly personal decision and we like what we like.
So, I really was stumped on which is just better enough to take the coveted first position, but ultimately did settle on the blues as that click really is so damn satisfying… and addictive! Reds came in a close second, and yes, I had to opine for brown as my third and final choice. IMHO, they do give you the best of both worlds. If you haven’t actually tried them and have the coin to drop on a set, use them for a week, especially somewhere you can’t be excessively noisy… only then, give an honest opinion, but be truthful to yourself. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised, but only in lieu of the blues, however I’m not saying to sub them out with any other Cherry switch as they’re not comparable enough.
One final thought, did I mention just how &$!#% satisfying that click is when using those blues?! It’s virtually a life changing experience! That click becomes an addiction of sorts, and essentially will calm even the most savage case of OCD! Trust me, I know, but you probably don’t know me, so don’t take my word for it. Just try them yourself!
That’s all I have on this.
Stay safe. Be well. ✌️

It's simple. The only reason greens aren't the highest result is because you all have weak fingers. If you're not punching your keyboard are you even typing?
Who the hell is voting browns? SILENCED BLACKS

Guys this isn't a what is your favorite switch poll. I don't think anybody actually wants an MX Brown drop, do they?

Why are there laptops in a switch poll? EDIT: And chairs!?
On a second note, brown switches? Really? They are available everywhere! Why not vote for some really hard to get ones, like the Linear Grays?

Have you spring modded it? Do you even lube?
Brown is overated
Those locking switches though. Please Cherry?
I wonder if we could convince Cherry to do another run of their locking switches?

Can't honestly believe everyone would want Brown switches since they are already available everywhere in every mass produced keyboard. Nothing unique in Browns.
Far better to get rare switches not easily sold everywhere like the Clears for instance.

Either I messed up or it glitched. There shouldn't be two Black Cherry options and i'm pretty sure I added the Clears with the list. Oh well.
