Information Picking Switches Picking your switches is fun and easy. If you're not sure what to choose, we recommend the tactile Cherry MX Browns a great all-around switch.



Want a recommendation per switch type? Use the filters on the top right! Tactile Switches These provide a noticeable bump to let you know that your key press has been registered.



They are ideal for typing because this feedback helps you keep from "bottoming out". Clicky Switches These provide both a noticeable bump and audible feedback.



They are ideal for users that enjoy the feedback produced by every keypress, and they make you sound like a speed demon when you type. This is not a switch that we recommend for the office as it can get loud. Linear Switches These are deliciously smooth and buttery. A linear switch provides no bump or audible feedback when actuated. Light typists and gamers love these, as do anyone who appreciates a smooth, quiet typing experience. WE RECOMMEND

Cherry MX White This is a heavier switch with a somewhat muted click. Not a crunchy click -- think about the sound the door of a luxury car makes when it closes.

Kailh Thick Gold Popcorn in keyboard form. These are clicky in a way we’ve never experienced before: Clicks once on the downstroke, and clicks again on the upstroke. A high-pitched, crisp click. Light, precise, and utterly unique -- this keyswitch is addictive. These switches actuate before the audible click. This means you can tap them very lightly and still get a character on your screen. Clicky 50±10gf Actuation force [ ? ] Actuation Force: Amount of force needed for the key to register the key as pressed.

Linear 40±10gf Actuation force [ ? ] Actuation Force: Amount of force needed for the key to register the key as pressed.

Kailh Copper Quite similar to the Kailh Silver, only these are tactile. So even though it’s specced the same in terms of actuation force, to our fingers these switches felt heavier than the Silver. Just as smooth as the Silver, but louder and a bit more muscular. Think “Brown lite”. These switches actuate before the tactile bump. This means you can tap them very lightly and still get a character on your screen. Tactile 40±10gf Actuation force [ ? ] Actuation Force: Amount of force needed for the key to register the key as pressed.

Kailh Box Brown As we've come to expect from a switch labeled Brown, the tactile bump is gentle. These feel solid, right between a loud clicky switch and a smooth linear.

Kailh Box White Slightly lower in pitch than the Kailh Gold, these are clicky to the point of being crunchy.

Clicky 45±10gf Actuation force [ ? ] Actuation Force: Amount of force needed for the key to register the key as pressed.

Kailh Box Black Oh, such springy smoothness.
