Features | The lightest of the available options, the Red switches is a fully linear feel with smooth feel all the way down and a light weight operating force of 45cN. It is fast, responsive, and easy to press but can run slightly louder than the Black because of the low operating force required. | The Blue switches have an operating force of 55cN and feel closest to a standard fully mechanical switch and have a very loud, clicky button like feel with excellent tactile feedback. | The Brown tactile switch is a middle ground between the Blue and Red switches. It has an operating force of 55cN with a button like tactile, responsive feel, but is not as loud and clicky as the Blue switches. Perfect for those who like a tactile response but prefer a quieter typing experience such as those who live stream. | The heavier of the two linear switch options, the black switches feature an operating force of 60cN meaning you will feel a bit more resistance when pressing the key compared to the Gateron Red switch. Perfect for heavy handed typists or those wanting a key less prone to accidental pressing. | The Yellow switches are a very good switch option for those who like linear switches for mechanical keyboards . It's a very smooth, quiet, vertical pressing sensation with no clicky feel. Good for working in the office, longterm typing, and even gaming. |
