How to Choose a Keyboard Switch
Many people actually don't know how to choose a switch when buying a mechanical keyboard. Let’s talk about it today. First of all, mechanical keyboards are generally divided into MX blue, MX brown, MX red and MX black. As for how to choose, you can continue to look down.
First, you need to know that the button feel of each switch is different. How to judge this difference? It needs to be judged according to the three parameters of the pressure of the switch, whether there is a sense of pressing, and the strength of the pressing.
The MX blue is one of the four main switches. Its most outstanding feature is the very obvious and crisp sense of pressing. And the grams of pressure rebounded hard. Because of these two characteristics, this switch can be the first choice for many gamers to start mechanical keyboards. The button sound of the MX blue is also very nice. The crisp click sound is very suitable for the hand feeling when triggered continuously. Typing is very rhythmic and rhythmic! This switch is suitable for playing games. And it is great for typing.
In addition to the MX blue, the MX red is also a very good switch. It is very suitable for e-sports games! It is a few grams of pressure. And there is no pressing, and there is no feeling of going straight up and down. Flicking your fingers is easy and can satisfy continuous triggers! So, the MX red is also suitable for professional shorthand staff. And the efficiency for fast text entry is high.
The MX brown is a switch that most people rarely touch. It belongs to the switch with a sense of pressing. It is somewhat similar to the MX blue. But the triggering feeling of its pressings is very round. But in fact, the audience is not large. It is still a relatively small switch.
The MX black has the largest trigger pressure in grams of these switches. Although it is the largest, everyone does not need to be scared. It is relatively large. For example, the value of the MX black is 60±20 cN. And the value of the MX red is 45±15 cN. People first touch the mechanical keyboard of the MX black. And there is no plan to use other switches in the short term. Then the MX black can definitely give people a very good feeling, and it won't work hard at all.
In fact, hand feeling is something that you can't see through or touch! Both objective and subjective. It is objective because it is exactly what it should be. It is subjective because it has different needs according to each person. So, don't rely on other people's descriptions. Everyone should feel for themselves so that they can know what they want. For example, you can go to a physical store to experience it and decide whether it is in line with your preferences.
