Glorious Gateron, Linear Silent - Brown Switches

Product Information

Outemu switches aren’t too bad for the price, they just tend to rattle a bit when typing. But if you’re trying to save money, you can’t complain too much about the performance of the switch. The keyboard has a supreme typing experience with an excellent case design, super smooth stabilizers, and PBT keycaps.

When gaming, you want a switch that is light and fast actuating. For that reason, linear switches, such as a red switchare preferred. If you’ve spent any amount of time looking into which gaming keyboard you should buy to level up your gaming setup, you’ll have heard about mechanical keyboards. When comparing mechanical vs membrane keyboards, mechanical switches are the clear winners when it comes to comfort, durability, and performance.The small bump of the tactile switch helps limit typos and can make programming a more streamlined experience.

The Cherry MX Browns I have also sound scratchier than the Cherry MX Reds, likely due to the tactile bump. This makes them sound less pleasant than the Cherry MX Red to my ears. But this is my subjective opinion, and you may feel otherwise. It’s a minor difference, anyway.Thanks to the short pre-travel of only 1.2mm, these switches are perfect for delivering you ultra-fast reaction times and a distinct advantage over your enemies. MX Brown: Some keyboard users are not a fan of silent switches due to the rubbery feel when logging a keystroke and the fact that the sound is muted, while others really enjoy this aspect of the switch. Tactile key switches are characterised by the distinct bump you feel when pressed. Since you don’t have to press the key all the way down for it to be registered, tactile key switches are perfect for typists and those who work from home. The hallmark differences of the Ink switches are the clear smoky housing, different plastic material, lower pitch sound, and smoother feel.

Deciding between Cherry MX Red and Cherry MX Brown is very similar to deciding between MX Red and MX Blue. If you want a light, smooth, linear switch for FPS gaming, or you just don’t like the idea of feeling a tactile bump every time you press a key, go for MX Reds. But if you type a lot or play button-mashing games, you might want that tactile bump, at which point you’ll have to decide between MX Blues and MX Browns. Blue vs Brown Switches Kailh Box Brown switches are a cool option because the actual shape of the stem is a bit different. One common complaint about brown switches is that the tactile bump is too light. In which case, a heavier switch, such as a Cherry MX Clear can be a better option. For that reason, if you’re thinking about getting a Gateron switch we recommend going with a linear actuating switch.They also tend to be scratchier than other brown switch options and produce a metallic tinging noise. It’s speculated that the switch feels and sounds this way due to the tight tolerancing of Cherry MX switches. The main lineup is based on the Cherry MX switches, while the rest are more adventurous and interesting. Gateron has designed several additional switches such as their own silent switches, milk switches, ink switches, and low-profile switches. We’ll explain the differences below. The Main Line-Up COLOR Actuation force is the amount of pressure required to register which key you are pressing. Pre-travel:

Cherry MX switches aren’t the only ones on the market these days. In fact, many gaming keyboard manufacturers like Razer now often make their own proprietary mechanical keyboard switches, and other companies like Gateron make switches for other manufacturers to use, just like Cherry. Gateron switches are a clone switch, but they are considered mid-tier. They aren’t the cheapest but are still a fraction of the price of Cherry MX. One of our favorite keyboards out-fitted with Gateron low-profile switches is the Keychron K1v4. Which Gateron Switch is the Best? If you play racing games, sports games, and several RPG games that extensively use a keyboard, then the Gateron Brown switches would be of great use.

Some Brown mechanical switches (like the Cherry MX Brown and Gateron Browns) require slightly more force to type on than their Red counterparts like the Cherry MX Red switches. It’s a more neutral weighting that will likely feel familiar if you’re used to membrane keyboards. The extra force helps reduce accidental key presses, but very light-fingered typists may find Brown switches less comfortable than Red ones.
