if it aint cherry, i aint touching it.

But gateron is objectively better

>>58332899
Shame a cherry switch is the only virgin you'll ever touch.

You should check out those fancy buckling springs.

it's like cherry except it's like you're typing on a cloud

>>58333289
I have a dell keyboard and domes are fine, well I never had a mechanical so that maibe the reason that I feel that way.
Ordered one mechanical with gateron blues lets see how they sound

Dude, are you a troll ?
You dont buy mechanical keyboards just for the sound ...

...so these mechanical keyboards are good for gaming right?

checked out a bunch of youtube videos of fat guys with blump feminine fingers typing away on Obnoxiously loud keyboards, as tho there was a herd of tiny ponies running on a wood floor

what is the Hardest and Quietest Switch/Keyboard?

>>58332899

Just because you have dicks for fingers doesn't mean you have to punish yourself with Cherry garbage.

Topre, alps, matias, hell Romer fucking G are all better than cheap ass cherry faggotry.

>>58332899
which one is the most silent?

>>58333024
But I touch myself everyday
Checkmate faggot

What's the difference in feel between Gateron brown and Cherry brown?

>>58334254

blue

Then i wonder why every company is copying cherry.


If they are as bad as you say.

>>58334282
Lol what? I heard blue is the most "clicky" one, and that brown or better black are the silent ones.

>>58332899

used Cherry Blacks for a long time (martial arts typing), switched to Topre

Topre for life

>>58332899
i have brown but i'd love to try clears. anyone here ever used them?

How does the clicky sound of the reds compare to the blues? I want a clicky sounding keyboard but not too excessive

>>58335938
Reds are linear. The only click you would get out of a red is bottoming out.

I ordered a Cherry tester and frankly the switches feel really cheap.
Blue feels like a meme, Brown feels like a bad joke. Red is the best one, but it's just nothing special and when pressed at an angle you can feel the lack of lube/friction, it even makes a bit of a screeching sound sometimes.
They all wobble like some cheap chink plastic and bottom out just hitting the hard surface.

>>58333643
You can get hints at how her cooter looks!

>>58335965
So, which key is clicky but not that as clicky as the blues?

>>58332899
>tfw you bought cherry blues because its the most memed but you later realized you wanted reds
such is life

>>58336293
Brown. They're not nearly as clicky as blue but they're pretty much as close you're gonna get without actually using blues.

Also white i guess, but keyboards with white are really rare comapred to other ones.

>>58336175
>They all wobble like some cheap chink plastic
That's probably because of the keys ontop of the switches and not the actual switches themselfes.

if it aint zealio, i aint touching it.

>>58332899
Good, one less chance to be infected with your auism :^)

>>58333715
In fact, sound is pretty much the one drawback for a mechanical keyboard, that they're much louder than membranes

>>58336332
The plastic part (blue in pic related) wobbles.

Maybe they couldn't make it less wobbly without increasing friction...

>>58336315
OK thanks, but will brown also be clicky?

>>58334204
Hardest and quietest would be the stiffest linear switch (greys, I guess), and O-rings to keep you from making noise by bottoming out.

>>58336468
Browns basically feel like typing on a macbook keyboard, if that's your thing. Clears are a bit closer to blues in terms of feel, but there are no clears in an affordable keyboard for some reason.

honestly, after owning a few mechanical keyboards, you can not beat a good rubber membrane button.

i just don't get the meme of mechanic keyboards, it's old tech, it's schlit, it's schlop, it's for schlomos. period.

too bad most keyboards have the inferior ANSI layout

>>58337778
Your loss, bro.

>>58332899
Never used a cherry, but kailh blue is pretty good.

>>58334252
If heavy, silent and gaming then Cherry MX silent black
>>58334254
Silenced switch like Topre silent, Cherry MX silent and Matias Quiet.
If you only need reasonable silence then non clicky switches like MX brown or red

>>58333715
>You dont buy mechanical keyboards just for the sound


are you dumb?

>>58336175
Well it's a switch tester. Plate-mounted switch on a solid built keyboard will feel miles better.

I never seen that switch before. Is that ALPS? Alps is rectangle not oval. Wtf is that?

Guys, what is a good switch where it makes a good clicky noise but not too excessive like a blue?

>>58332995
>muh butter smooth
>inconsistent chink shit

the higher slider friction in Cherry switches become non existent from use over time.
But /mkg/ fags mostly take photos of their keyboards, not use them.

>>58340255
I think it literally tells you what switch it is.

I have blues. I don't really like it desu, it's way too loud and my fingers hurt from the shock when typing

I had rubberdomes, they dont hurt to type on but feel too mushy

I think I may get topre or gateron clears next

>>58333289
Feels infinitely better than scratchy cherrys

>poorfags will never know the buttery smooth tactile feedback of a topre

>>58334204
Quietest would probably be red, it's what I use and I like them for games because the activation point is pretty high, so you don't need to bottom out for it to register (also quieter). Still much noisier than normal kbs though, keep in mind.

wants a brown switch, can't get it for the KB i want

it's like I always get forced to buy shit I don't want cause shit I want aren't available.

a 60% KB with esc and arrow keys with backlit is all I want, is it too much to ask for?

>>58341665
>my fingers hurt from the shock when typing
I know exactly what you mean and I only tried the switches on a tester.
Maybe try adding some o-rings.

I'm glad I didn't fall for the Cherry meme, tbf.

>>58340486
>german quality meme
Why the fuck would I pay 1 buck per switch when gateron make literally the same switch (with smoother sliders) for 30 cents per switch.

>>58342359
Yes because that's niche as fuck.
Build your own keyboard, it's not that hard.

>tfw fell for the matias meme

>>58337733
But you can order 100 clear switched for $50, so it's not hard to swap for clear switches if you really want. I'm going to do an ergo clear project with my next keyboard.

>>58341693
iktf
seriously, if I haven't had the chance to try em at my friends place I wouldn't believe it myself
cherry switches are garbage in comparison

that said, my topre keyboard is only good for typing because you have to apply a different amount of force to the keys, depending on where they are placed
so if you move away from the home row and instead use wasd it feel weird

>>58338919
How long have you had it?

DAS boards are solid, but I can't get past the dust and fingerprint magnet that is the glossy case.

>>58339099
Clears are closer to the feel of blues, but are heavier.

Ergo clears get fairly close.

>>58339181
>Glorified rubber domes

>>58342359
You could always build one from scratch, or swap switches. If you can solder at all and aren't a tard isn't fairly simple.
