They are typically the preffered typing switch type). This keyboard uses "blue" switches, a standard designator for a key that 'clicks' halfway through the actuation. Logitech, Cooler Master, and Razer all decided to make their own switches rather than depend on third parties so some of their products have their own branded switches. Other less common brands include "Alps" (or Matias, made in Canada) and "Topre". Others have recently sprung up through the far east, including the other two listed above plus a few others like "Outemu", who is one of the newest and produced at the lowest costs. Cherry is the oldest and arguable the 'best' in the biz, and cherry keyboard prices reflect that. (note, for those who are not mechanical keyboard junkies: Kailh (China), Gateron (China), and Cherry (Germany) are all switch manufacturers. I talk about this problem in the attached video. Perhaps it is due to the angle I hit my keys at? Dunno, but this thing slowed my type speed (from other blue switch mech's it is still faster and more comfortable than rubber dome keys) and increased my hand fatigue. I have smallish hands for a guy and this was a particular problem for me. I believe the reason they FEEL heavier is because these switches are embedded in the keyboard face, meaning the keycaps can rub the sides of the little port to the switch, increasing the force required to actuate. However, with a listed actuation force of 50g's, compared to Gateron's 55g's and Cherry's 60g's, it should feel much lighter. Haven't used my "Cherry" cooler master keyboard in a while but it feels heavier than I remember that as well. For the users, this means increased reliability and more consistency between switches.įIRST: the switches feel a little heavier than the "Gateron" keyboard I recently purchased. It has a unique look and for those who are in the know, the switches are Kailh's, which are probably the best of the Chinese switch manufacturers. This is DEFINITELY an attention-grabbing keyboard. ![]() Having owned three different blue mech's now, I can honestly say this has the worst feel (NOT bad, just not as good as the other blue mechs I've had). ![]() If you are in the second category.get a different mech first, because I'd hate to have this one effect your experience or expectations regarding the feel of Mech keyboards. (It does NOT type as well as other blue keyboards, which I explain below). If you don't know about mechanical keyboards and don't care and you're just looking for a cool keyboard, this will be (a) very distinguished and cool and (b) type better than any keyboard you've probably owned, ever. If you are looking to add to your collection, this one is cool, for sure, although not the best typer. If you are in the first or third category, I'd say go for it. What's a mechanical keyboard? I just love how this thing looks! I am excited to buy my first mechanical keyboard with blue switches, and this has great style points too!ģ. This would be a cool additional keyboard to grow my existing mechanical keyboard repertoire!Ģ. Overall, if you're looking at this keyboard, you probably fit into one of three categories:ġ. Bought this as a group buy on a different website, but wanted to leave a review.
