  • Great video. Loved the demos with the colors on display. I love my blue switches. My desk shares a wall with my daughter's bedroom. She's 13. I've been in school (undergrad then grad program) for the past couple years and she mentioned when she falls asleep hearing me type up papers she knows how hard I'm working and the sound is actually soothing. I mean, sometimes I'm just chatting with friends. lol I didn't know she could hear me typing. I need to replace my keyboard and was going to get something quieter but that's when she told me not to. She likes it. Clickies are staying.

I wanted something that was similar to my laptop's keyboard and see how the key gets pushed down for each type helped way more than just hearing the sound. Thank you so much!

  • Honestly I bought a brown switch keyboard on a whim recently and it's such a freaking step up from membrane boards that I can't go back. Bought a blue from the same make and it's... novel. But it's deffo loud. I think I'm sticking with brown forever. That tactile feedback is just too good.

  • In a pair of months I have beend used a Blue Switches keyboard, and the clicky sounds is music for my ears, but recently i try it a Red Switches keyboard, and now, dude i miss the Clicky Sound 😢 But the Red Switches are great for typing or gaming. For games it is the icing on the cake, they are excelent.

  • Personally, I find red switches to be the most satisfying to type on when it comes to low profile keyboards. I just got my brown switches and I find them a little too clacky and springy whereas the reds feel more smooth and thocky. Brown feels like a midpoint between blue and red.
