Which key is most similar to membrane keyboard feel and weight/travel ? The tactile or linear ?

BeatTheBush Hi. I am in the market for keyboards. I am deciding between silent reds and browns. I wanted to go with silent reds, but I heard silent reds have some mushy feeling that feel like a membrane rubber dome. Is this true? Do you have any thoughts to provide? Thanks for the video by the way.
Silent reds are pretty much the same as reds, but more quiet (obviously) so if you’re worried about silent reds SOUNDING mushy, just go for normal reds. Since both are linear, it’ll obviously feel mushy/soft since there isn’t any kind of bump
i guess we all know where we saw your profile picture before.

The explanation of a "tactile" key was great - I could completely understand what you meant from the demonstrations, well done.

Repent to Jesus Christ
“As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go to the house of God under the protection of the Mighty One with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng. Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon-from Mount Mizar. Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me- a prayer to the God of my life. I say to God my Rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?” My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, “Where is your God?” Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.”

@@mariokartwii6663 only if you have mx browns 😳
@@fongus6420 thats what i was referring to
except mx browns dont have a tactile feel whatsoever. its moreso linear than tactile. garbage switch imo
So i'm an audio engineer and i ran the recordings of my blue switches through an EQ freq analyzer. what I can tell you is that the keycaps themselves amplify the sound of the switches and therefore, switches will always be louder with keycaps on vs off. In other words, the caps act as mini speaker dome amplifiers. So especially on the blues, the clicks are really loud. This basically means that keys of diff shape and size will produce diff resonance in the keycap and therefore will sound diff. I.e, in the blue switches that i use, there is a spike in the 8.4khz freq for letter keys (smaller keycaps) while the spacebar sounds more hollow and evens out around 2.3khz (less ear piercing). Overall, the volume can be attenuated with o-rings, but if manufacturers really wanted to design a quiet keycap, they should fill the entire inside of the keys with silicon OR some kind of acoustic absorption material. I tried squeezing some putty into my keycaps and it significantly reduced the volume of the clicks (especially the annoying high frequencies) much more than o-rings, but made it heavier, so the keys were a little less snappy. this is definitely something that manufacturers can think about!
Good idea, thanks!
woah didnt catch any of that sorry im 13 so i dont understamd but thanks anyways
Yeah I have a cheap mechanical keyboard and you can tell the annoying sound it makes is not the switches themselves but the thin hollow plastic the keycap are made of. It's so echo-y and produces a high pitch hollow click. Very annoying cheap sound.
Try foam. It's porous (absorbs sound better) and light...
a lot of text 😎
This five-minute video gave me more information and explanation of key switches, than about a half hours worth of videos i had to sift through thus far. Thank you for this comprehensive direct to the point overview of these switches. That LED idea, as a visual indicator, is phenomenal too because like you said how is anybody supposed to know where the key activates. Thanks again
And I still don't have a mechanical keyboard
@Sd Xhy Forgot to tell everyone I have no money left
As a tip from me i have the green ones and i dont think i will recomend it its heavy for me...if still want a clicky get the blues
Tappy Oka You might not need one. Some membrane keyboards are actually pretty good.
@@georgemorley1029 The membrane keyboard I'm currently have is using the BOX architecture in their switches, so you may be right.

There was a time though, and it is not that long ago, when mechanical was all we had. I still regret that I threw out an original IBM keyboard early 2000s. It was heavy, clicky and indestructible.

Zack Buehler Okay. So your telling me if I wanted to buy a keyboard with cherry switches and have a standard of 101 keys, you would multiply 101 times 10. And I would pay 1,010 dollars for a keyboard? Interesting because I bought a keyboard with cherry MX blues for a little over 100 dollars, it doesn’t add up bud. Also, I just looked up that for 10 switches you’ll pay approximately 10 dollars. Do your research kid.

I've always felt kind of in the dark when it comes to cherry switched but now I know everything! Thanks so much.
The content on your channel is so varied, but I actually really like that. Each video I'm not sure what I'm prepared to watch, but I'm prepared to be informed on something new.
Thanks! I enjoy the variation otherwise I'd get bored doing the same thing. =D One of the main focus is finance on this channel but after you get past the money, there are other more interesting things to learn.
This is actually a lot more useful than other switch comparison videos omg, like this actually give cues on what's best for what context and how they feel!! thanks (:
Oh my God you're a breath of fresh air no bullshit is hard to find now a days. Clear and concise wording and not overdoing it with big jumbled words to distract us Bravo my friend Keep On Keepin On

Main 3 cherry switches most decide between.
Cherry Mx Blue pros and cons
Pros:
A ton of feedback, you can easily tell when the switch has actuated.
Heavier good for typists who tend to bottom their keys out a lot.
Cons:
Ridiculously loud, don’t bring em in an office or a shared workspace ever you will be hated.
Too heavy for some, can get tiring.
Not good for gaming despite how good they sound double tapping keys and the time it takes to bottom out and come back up is too long for a lot of gamers including myself.
Cherry Mx brown Pros and cons
Pros:
Still has audible feedback and you can still hear when the key is actuated.
The tactile bump feels great to type on because once you feel the bump you don’t need to press the key anymore just move on to the next key, very easy to not bottom out Browns.
Cons:
Still has a decently noisy sound, may not annoy others around you but if you enjoy a quieter keyboard this is not the switch for you.
Cherry Mx red Pros and Cons
Pros:
Linear, less force to actuate the key:Faster
Minimal noise, you won’t ever annoy someone with this switch and your mic will not pic up noises from it while talking in game.
Great for gaming, the linear switches are great for gaming because they are much more smooth and faster and you can really pull off very fast key strokes.
Cons:
A lot of typists prefer keyboards with feedback so they can hear when they’ve actuated the key. There is only a slight almost un-noticeable dip when the key is actuated.
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks
TL;DR
Annoying
Less annoying
For gaming
Great breakdown
Amazingly clear visual demonstration. Thank you!
Still relevant to this day! Amazing. Very helpful, man! Cheers!
Finally I understand the differences between those switches! Thanks mate.
I've been looking through keyboard comparison videos and this helped more than anything else I found. Was straight to the point, informative, and provided great info such as the activation weight. Great video :)
Thank you!
Solo we meet again
@@endcap lmao yo

=D Really wanted this video to be as good as if you bought this switch tester. Hope the purpose went though, I had to buy this thing so you didn't have to! =D
It did! I ordered the gamdias hermes rgb p1 keyboard with blue switches
How's it working for you? I've found a nice looking, yet affordable, blue switch keyboard on Amazon which I'm going to order fairly soon since my current keyboard (membrane) is already starting to fail on me after having it for only around a year.
Its working great! Absolutely no problems and i love the sound and the color on it. (Plus, its fun to annoy people during skype calls with the loud switches)

@GZonPC buy another one Blues suck
@@blyat2165 im really happy with mine, maybe my headset silent the switches much
I recently started using blues instead of browns and I'm a bit disappointed. Activating the switch feels fine, but releasing feels horrible. After click, the force while you are releasing drops drastically and the switch become ultra light. Also I think that blues feels worse when you bottom out, it's like hitting a wall.
GZonPC it’s pretty much a brown but really loud
Great explanation video! Thank you, I've been having a lot of trouble deciding which keyboard switches to get
Thx for the helpful video. Over the years, I've gone through all the phases/permutations of clicky/silent tactile/non-tactile. In an office environment, you have to go silent. Noise does irritate your coworkers and the noise is a subtle inference as to how much/little work you're doing. It's better to be silent and let them guess than to be clicky and let them form opinions (right or wrong).
My fave keyboard of all time is the IBM 3278-2 terminal. IBM had a patent on it. It's like the MX-Brown BUT after activation, the key force drops drastically. It's like "falling off a cliff". For a touch typist, it's W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L because you can type faster and more accurately after each key is activated. I have wet dreams of typing on this keyboard (figuratively of course). My current keyboard is the Kinesis Freestyle 2 because it helps w/ my carpal tunnel syndrome. I also switched to the Colemak layout almost 10 years ago. The Kinesis is only ok because of its generic key feel. I have no regrets about Colemak however. I used to type 110 wpm with QWERTY but now type 80 wpm on both layouts after the switch. I don't regret it. My fingers were so tired at the end of the day, but now they're in much better shape.
This is by far my favorite video on key switches on CZcams! Especially that demonstration on how brown switches feel! That was very helpful. =)
=D Thanks! Ha ha ha! This is a video in disguise. It's really a switch tester. As much as I can demonstrate at least.
Whoa, that's kind of cool that you respond to comments on older videos like this! That just shows how dedicated you are to this channel haha (I subscribbled :D)

@@grass1503 green is a little to heavy (Just my opinion)
Great explanation. Saves me the trouble. I can imagine using a mixture of these on a keyboard depending on the button and whether you need more deliberate force to activate if accidental usage would be annoying, like the Windows or Escape button. 45g for me, but I'm now torn between tactile or no tactile.
This is the best demonstration I've seen. Your words are useful too. A lot of youtubers say so many words yet communicate so little.
=D Thanks!
I can never buy the blues, my parents will throw that shit away after 1 day
Deruzzi I go with the greens because they need extra force to press them. So they kind of act like shock absorbers when I punch the keyboard out of frustration.
Just buy Razer green then Ur parents gonna sell u ;D

You're welcome! =D
your version of explaining the whole thing is the best i’ve ever seen around YT
All the different Cherry colours was super confusing at a glance, but this was really informative and I can see why Brown is quite popular. The individuals feel and weighting for each type was also helpful to see, so thank you for clearing a lot of things up!
Brown of all colors? Ahh well.. a different color for everyone.
Ya Browns are the most similar to old school gel dome keyboards(normal office keyboard)
teh_blazerer what are you talking about?
actually, we got like 10 ppl with mx blue switches in they keyboars.. we are like.. in a real small office. It sound cool i think ^^ Its the sound of a it company making money xD
LOL! Everybody with blue switches and nobody minds. It would see the person that does mind will quit pretty quickly, lol.
It is also money making 80s style.. All pc keyboards back in these golden days where clicky.. Very classic and awesome.. Yes they sound like work, money and serious business :-)
I feel (judging by your English) that you’re probably too young to be working at an office, although I’m just gonna assume you’re not an English speaker.

@BeatTheBush I personally believe that people are too annoyed these days by every... single... little... thing... that... disturbs... their... mind, except of course when it's their own private mobile phone.
Clicky keyboards for me is also the sound of production. Even more so an old fashioned typewriter of course, and talking about finger fatigue. Man... from how you talk about fatigue I know you never even touched a mechanical type writer. I can tell you know... it's way beyond 80 grams and they used to due it for 40 hours a week or 8 hours a day in offices back in the day.
Now if those co-workers think a clicky keyboard is annoying... I'm sure they are glad to have not lived in their parents or grandparents days.
Just hear this, and this is just one: czcams.com/video/oxN1C2QQUIE/video.html

Seriously, thank you so much for the video. I spent quite a few hours trying to understand the differences between the switches and your video has been the most helpful one. Cheers!
Thank you for the explanation on the "clicks" and colors. I am not a gamer, but I am a typist and was trying to figure out how to get one with the major clicks. So now I know to get the blue. I will use it for my home office of course. :)
I use blues for everything. I was in a cubicle at one point. Got my keyboard with MX blues and three weeks later I got the office I was supposed to have. :-)
But I do love the clicky. Reminds me of my childhood computer.
HAHA HAH AHA That is too funny!
Vaughner81 Knowing my luck I would get fired instead...
I thought the "clicky clicky" was a thing of the past until I stumbled on key switches. Didn't even know that was a thing or that varieties existed.
And, much like you, I hear that click and it brings me right back to playing L.O.R.D. on a BBS.
Thank you for this. Really excellent explanation and not lengthy. Always been a fan of Red switches. Just thought i would check out other switches but dont understand specifically what their differences are. But now I do! Thanks a lot again, man. Keep it up!

I'm very excited, it's really going to be a massive upgrade over my current keyboard, as the keys are so stiff now that I've had to be a bit heavy handed (which is fatiguing my fingers, like you mentioned happens to you).

Yes this key is the best because I am not really into loud keys but i like the feeling of activation when I use them
Brown or speed?
If your gaming exclusively then get the speed, but if you like feeling when you type I would suggest the brown. I personally own a keyboard with brown switches and would highly recommend them.
I have Brown also, it's like the old IBM keyboard i had. The keyboard is also extra heavy.

Haha, I relied on CZcams for my Cherry MX, went with the brown series which, yes, is noisy but motivational. Nice job on the lighting !
I think I would also get used to the brown. Who knows, maybe if I had it I might be able to type faster. Too late now. =/
Whenever we get a new CPU at work the first thing I do is replace the
standard Dell generic keyboards with an MX's for their durability.
Keyboards that double-enter or skip over a character are very frustrating and usually find their way to the dumpster by the end of the shift =D
Wow! What a great company to replace them with that. That is costly but likely increases productivity for all the employees. Then again, I think everyone should have 30" monitors as well.

*sands, never sands.
1:20 My god, the satisfaction from hearing that. Also, my favorite key is the blue switch, due to the fact that it has the loudest click, which is the most satisfying thing about using the keyboard; hearing the click and feeling the click as well with your fingers. Soon, however, I might be willing to get a brown switched keyboard that is wireless. I dunno how that one sounds, but at least it'll be wireless.

I honestly am totally new to mechanical keyboard and it’s sort of like a rabbit hole I just fell into and this was the first video to kind of explain it inan easily digestible way.
Thanks dude, really gets to the point and was way more informative than anything else I've seen.
Glad you liked it!
Using the MX Brown. Coming from membrane keyboard, I love it. But I wanted to try something else to change. Blue could be an option but then if it's really low I don't know...
I never used brown but i guess these are similar to membrane but better. Depends for what are you using. I use red for cs go id doesnt feel good because you need to stop suddenly and because key is activate half way trought its hard do control but in other hand is very fast. Maybe red is better for some games where you didnt need sudden stop like bloodhunt, fortnite, warzone. Funny thing is i have better movement with membrane in cs go than red but i noticed faster stop. Can u tell what games tou played with brown and hkw they feel.
I’m kinda new to this cherry switch thing since I never had a mechanical keyboard, but I’m about to buy one, so this video really helped me to understand what’s the difference between the switches. The website I’m about to buy the keyboard indeed offers blue, brown and red switches. I guess, I’m never going to buy the blue ones, they will annoy me. 😂
Thank you, never bought a cherry mx keyboard and was using my old trusty keyboard for a long time. So I was really struggeling which cherry mx to get, but i think i either try the brown or red ones, both sound interesting.
Was a nice video and it showed the switches good enough.
mah that's a perfect summary, thanks! :D brilliant work!
