"Don't buy BLUE Switches..." -the person you live with

#shorts #gaming #keyboard
The world of mechanical keyboards is a vast one. It can be overwhelming, confusing, and most importantly, expensive.
Now before you go looking at the keyboards, it’s crucial to know what type of switches you’d like first.
There are a ton of different sounds and feelings and getting one you're not sure of can be a huge waste of time and money. Get the right sound and feel.

[@leazy911]

im still crying over the stabs on the switch example keyboards

[@ur_hot_cupcake]

Exactly, cuz those were cherry MX blues, and the man who made it intentionally removed all the stabs. He also removed the plate as well to make the worst keyboard ever.

[@gothimyt4273]

personally I do not thick they should really be talking about this topic.

[@dylanangkw]

Glarses is the one reacting to it, not the one with the hentai keyboard.

"don't buy blue switch." it's like saying : don't buy taco 🌮, or don't but pizza 🍕, or don't buy sushi 🍣, or don't buy steaks 🥩. nah, everyone have their own preferences, hence there are linear, tactile and clicky switch.

[@pvddx]

[@jesuszamora6949]

Nice sound, innit? Got me some Navies for my RK keyboards, personally.

[@Barnebic]

Personally, I don’t know if I can speak for everyone but the majority of the people who are getting into keyboards will always want clicky first, and then switch to tactile

[@masteryooda9087]

Except for zeal clickys which are awful

[@ItsPhantomXD]

For my first build I immediately started with linear switches and haven’t swaped

[@kemix1357]

I had blues then redd then box whites i always love clickies ❤❤❤

hel;l no i wanted a linear when i first started but then switches to tactile because it is simply better

[@nolyfe4814]

@@luner_ghast6856 went from tactile to linear to max cherry switches. Still undecided on which switches are best though

[@smurflss]

As a mech keeb “snob” I would like to inform the reader that linears are not often silent, unless you purchase silent linears

[@zachw3347]

Most knowledgeable people in the hobby will actually dissuade you from trying to decide what switch you think you’ll like based on a key switch tester. I chose with a switch tester when first getting into the hobby and ended up finding out in actual full board typing i like a completely opposite kind of switch. If you don’t have the opportunity to test on a full board anywhere start with a set of budget switches - even if they end up not being your favorite they’ll still be plenty usable, and when you eventually upgrade given your new knowledge, you have the first set to practice lubing on :)

[@LevisRaju]

I take my blue switches to office.

[@jesuszamora6949]

Not sure why people find it to be that big a deal, honestly. It's not like it's got a fucking solenoid in there - it's not that much louder than a mouse click, and certainly not as loud as someone slamming the keys of a rubberdome keyboard to get it to actuate.

[@LevisRaju]

@@jesuszamora6949 💯

[@gearsgamer7115]

issue is, cherry mx blue sound terrible for a clicky switch, as all click jacket switches sound terrible and all other clicky switches sound much better.

[@zenjch]

I personally like cherry blues more than linear switches because they just feel way better and way more responsive.

[@Definitely_Melnyx]

Clicky itself isn’t bad. Box Jades/Navies are beloved after all, but cherry blues tend to have a less sharp click to them in comparison.

[@hpu_tyego]

Get a tactile then, it’s like a clicky but it doesn’t click

[@awfultime]

I hope you live alone or in a super well noise dampened room because you contribute to noise pollution and I feel bad for people around you

It’s because you’re buying cherry switches, try others, like holy pandas or gateron lions

[@charliecharlston]

im in pain from the example keyboard BRO THE RATTLE I WANT TO CRY

[@totowolff3229]

If you don't want to buy a sampler, you can do what I did. I went to a couple of tech stores nearby and tested out their keyboards, ones with switches like razer green, razer optical, brown, reds, etc. I ended up choosing the razer hunstman elite v2 because it was on sale and I like the tactile feel (I also already had a razer mouse so it made senseto stay with the brand). Yes it is loud but it's not a problem for me because I always wear headphones on like 80% volume when playing, so I can't even hear the keyboard. After 3 or so months of use, I love it and highly recommend it.

[@jesuszamora6949]

Razer keyboards seem nice enough (even though their switches are essentially rebranded Greetech), but the Synapse bloatware is an immediate turnoff.

[@thesubx7]

I just love it when my stabs sound like nails on a chalk board

[@Hydra-House-Lizard]

I dont get why people like quiet keyboards ngl, they feel less like you actually hit the button you wanted to hit and more like a misclick

[@NoCluYT]

I prefer the feeling over the sound. The perfect keyboard would have great tactile feeling while remaining silent

I had a Cherry Mx blue Keyboard that was Wayyy to Clicky and loud and now i got a Membrane one that is 60% And honestly its better for me cause i dont really feel a difference in performance but I like the Damper Sound of it and honestly think Mechanical keyboards aren’t needed at all

[@kosuuqwk]

The space button gotta be loud asf tho

[@Rex-golf_player810]

i think mx blues are too rattly which sorta amplifies the annoying sounds that come with clickies, but kailh makes a lot of clickies that have less rattle (although they are still clicky and some people may naturally still find them at least SOMEWHAT annoying)

[@user-se6kc9wc4o]

I have clicky ones, I hate them. Thanks msi 💀

[@Tengu-op6vs]

Talking enthusiast level, any switch is fine if it’s made well enough and tuned to a liking

I LOVE the clicky ones. It’s ASMR for me. I just bought one. 😁

[@TotalxTroll25k]

I love blue switches. Had them on my red dragon when I got my first keyboard and have them again on my Logitech G513 Carbon

[@EyeseeUriP]

There is science behind the cicky feel lol. It helps with creating muscle memory. You can also still use clicky blues and make them a little quieter with padding. Doesn't do much but it helps.

[@Shamuel-0]

If you need more help with finding a good keyboard i would recommend buying a keychron v series or maybe a Ciy gas67. Also for switches if you want a strong tactile feedback on a budget get the jwk t1s and to make these even better springswap with a heavier spring and lube them. If you want a smooth linear switch out of the box you should purchase some gateron china joys

[@yhiz4757]

You legit use the worst possible gaming keyboards for the sound tests lmao

brown outemu switches are just as loud as blue but take more force to press. Me likey the sound

[@futureplaysgd3026]

So I belong in a maximum security prison for liking clicky ass keyboards

[@synarchy8377]

My recommendation, linear is nice for those who prefer a smooth feeling key that has the same resistance all the way down, Tactile are great for those who like that confirmation they pressed the key. If you like clicky you’re either a child, lying or hate anyone in a 5 mile radius.

[@exvaran]

Don't get blue switches... unless they're Navy

[@CommanderdMtllca]

literally all three sound exactly the same lol

[@derechte6086]

I used to be a pianist so resistance of a key (or its coil spring) doesn’t bother me much I dislike it more having a keyboard that wasn’t built to be opened up many times And I dislike when they got too much space open and tiny stuff goes in between the keys And some other shit but yea not too much the force I need to press a key unless it’s ridiculously high
