Glorious Gateron, Linear Silent - Brown Switches

Product Information

Activation Point – this indicates at which point the switch is pressed down hard enough to translate information from keyboard to computer. Most switches will have an actuation point of around 2mm unless the switch is low-profile, in which case the activation point is shorter. This pressure point is measured in millimeters (mm). The hallmark differences of the Ink switches are the clear smoky housing, different plastic material, lower pitch sound, and smoother feel. They also tend to be scratchier than other brown switch options and produce a metallic tinging noise. It’s speculated that the switch feels and sounds this way due to the tight tolerancing of Cherry MX switches. Low Profile Red switches have all of the same distinct features as MX Reds, but with a small form factor. MX Low Profile Reds are linear, with a smooth typing feel and actuation of 45cN. MX Low Profile Speed: The switch has a small tactile bump which makes it good for accurate typing and programming, although it may not be the best option for gaming.

Gateron Optical Brown switches are interesting because they acutate via a combination of mechanical movement and light. Some Brown mechanical switches (like the Cherry MX Brown and Gateron Browns) require slightly more force to type on than their Red counterparts like the Cherry MX Red switches. It’s a more neutral weighting that will likely feel familiar if you’re used to membrane keyboards. The extra force helps reduce accidental key presses, but very light-fingered typists may find Brown switches less comfortable than Red ones. But it’s not as simple as buying the first mechanical keyboard you find. There are many different kinds, and the main thing you should consider when deciding on your next mechanical keyboard is the type of switch that they use. The kind of switch used can completely change the feel and sound of the keys under your fingers, so it’s important. As you can see from the table above, Gateron has a comprehensive lineup of switches that all offer a unique feel and aesthetic.Suppose you like a silent and smooth keyboard typing experience. In that case, the switch that gives that experience is the Gateron Red switch. https://youtu.be/Kov1CTx3Sr4 Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Keychron K2 Red vs Brown Gateron Switches (https://youtu.be/Kov1CTx3Sr4) If you’re new to mechanical keyboards and are confused about what brown switches are and what they are used for, you are in the right place.

MX Red switches are linear and are typically found on most mechanical keyboards. They feature a smooth typing feel with minimal resistance and don’t make any noise when pressed. On the upside, since there are less parts touching, they have a lifespan of 100 million keystrokes making them durable and long-lasting. Kailh Box Brown Type: Tactile Brown switches are excellent for programming. The tactile bump helps limit mistakes which can increase the speed at which you enter data. Outemu switches aren’t too bad for the price, they just tend to rattle a bit when typing. But if you’re trying to save money, you can’t complain too much about the performance of the switch. Red, Blue, and Brown mechanical key switches are still the most popular ones on the market. If possible, you should try each of these switch types for yourself to see which you prefer – a mechanical key switch tester kit can help with this. But there are some differences that can point you in the right direction without personal testing. Because they’re still the most popular brand on the market, we’ll focus on Cherry MX switches.
