Mechanical KB Switches

[Flex]

If you do not have or have never used a mechanical Keyboard then you do not know what you are missing out on.
If you do have one, then you know what a pain it is to choose the correct switches for your style and preferences.

I used to always love MX Blue Switches or similar, meaning that they were loud and had a distinctive clicking sounds. They offer lots of resistance and you are 100% certain that you pressed a key.
But recently with my little one have trouble sleeping and my wife watching series, it got a bit annoying for them.
So I got a Mionix KB from Leetpro with Black Switches. At first it felt like I was sticking my finger into soft poo every time a pressed a Key... but the more I pressed, the more I seemed to like this feeling of pressing down on poo. Soft, squishy and gentle. The softer and "no click" keys are def my choice of keys at this stage being brown MX Keys.

What are your fav switches?

I started off with RED switches, still have.
Because this is the only one, and first one, im too afraid to test out others.

I think red is only the only switch I have not tried yet

I got one of these (Blue switches) at home


I have no one to worry about keeping awake, so I'm not gonna switch (pun intended)

Lovely KB that indeed!! I absolutely love the click of the blues! But when you play a fps, and you strafe a lot, then I can hardly hear myself thinking =D

That doesn't bother me... I didn't get it for gaming really... I'm also considering painting a couple number keys, since if I have to hit a number higher than 5, I sometimes smack the wrong key since I have to use my left hand when gaming...

And the looks on peoples faces when they ask to use my PC... Bahaha

Was thinking the same. Must take quite some time to get used to!

When it comes to Cherry MX switches, browns are my favourite. However, on a trip to the States earlier this year I bought myself this beautiful beast:



A Unicomp Two-Tone Ultra Classic Model M.

Unicomp has the license from IBM to make Model M keyboards using buckling spring switches. It is the greatest keyboard I have ever owned.
