What Cherry MX Browns SHOULD Have Been: Ergo Clears Review

MODE 80 Preorder: shop.modedesigns.com/collecti...
Ahhh… my mortal enemy, cherry mx browns. If only you had been more like your modified brother, the ergo clears… I probably wouldn’t have started making videos.

Since I find MX reds to be too light, this seems like a no-brainer. Swap out the springs from a set of reds and a set of clears and boom: now you have a nice light tactile set and a nice heavy linear set!

Clears are actually the only Cherry MX switches I like, and they've been on my daily driver for a few years now. Because of their weight, they're the only switches on which I can avoid bottoming-out without even trying. They have a very very unique, "bouncy" feel that I like.

[@zivens.2407]

I love the sound of that switch! Thanks for making this video!

[@dhoffnun]

If it's inconsistent and noisy I call it "scratchy" - if its consistent and maybe even pleasant, I call it "textured". Example; I'd say Outemu browns are "scratchy" - Gateron Caps are "textured". Totally agreed about the Cherry Nylon housing. No stock Cherry is a favorite of mine - but those housings can make some lovely sounds.

Got a new job, was ready to get a real mech instead of the $20 "brown switch" Amazon special I'd been bearing with. Dived deep researching so i could get gūd on a budget. I knew i needed something actually tactile and heard of Ergo Clears. Found this vid and realized, you're exactly the person i needed to sub, and after researching switches you mentioned at 4:43, that kaihl box silent browns were what I needed. (Thank you for that video as well!) Got an EVGA Z15, yes I know it's not amazing, but it was everything I needed for $45. Ordered 100 switches for $45, and and here I am, with the best $90 keyboard ever. Still need some stab lube and pbt keycaps, but extremely happy so far, and it's thanks to you.

When I bought a switch tester it came with all of the cherry MX switches, even some of the more obscure ones like clear, grey and white and I was genuinely surprised at the tactility of the clears compared to the anemic browns

[@JolanRensen]

My first mechanical keyboard will have Ergo Clears :) I tried a couple of switches (from cherry MX) using a little test kit and I found the browns to feel a bit scratchy, the clears nice but too heavy, and then clears with the springs of browns perfect! It's gonna be a lot of work replacing all the springs but probably worth it I think :)
