'Don't buy BLUE Switches...' -the person you live with

#shorts #gaming #keyboard

The world of mechanical keyboards is a vast one. It can be overwhelming, confusing, and most importantly, expensive.

Now before you go looking at the keyboards, it’s crucial to know what type of switches you’d like first.

There are a ton of different sounds and feelings and getting one you're not sure of can be a huge waste of time and money. Get the right sound and feel.

im still crying over the stabs on the switch example keyboards

[baconlord]

That dude with the hentai keyboard probably has memorized all of the numbers and names of each key

[lbdude]

Those switch example boards are gonna make me cry

[hhhhhh-xqhn]

"often very silent" shows and absolutely screaming keyboard

[Simon-isxd]

Heads up! There are other switches than Cherry MX!

"don't buy blue switch." it's like saying :
don't buy taco 🌮,
or don't but pizza 🍕,
or don't buy sushi 🍣,
or don't buy steaks 🥩.
nah, everyone have their own preferences,
hence there are linear, tactile and clicky switch.

I like my switches' loud and show dominance so I chose blue. Kinda like peeing straight into the water of the toilet bowl instead of shooting to the side.

Personally, I don’t know if I can speak for everyone but the majority of the people who are getting into keyboards will always want clicky first, and then switch to tactile

Most knowledgeable people in the hobby will actually dissuade you from trying to decide what switch you think you’ll like based on a key switch tester.
I chose with a switch tester when first getting into the hobby and ended up finding out in actual full board typing i like a completely opposite kind of switch.
If you don’t have the opportunity to test on a full board anywhere start with a set of budget switches - even if they end up not being your favorite they’ll still be plenty usable, and when you eventually upgrade given your new knowledge, you have the first set to practice lubing on :)

to the title; jokes on you, i bought me some box jades!

[smurflss]

As a mech keeb “snob” I would like to inform the reader that linears are not often silent, unless you purchase silent linears

[atcera]

Blue switches are so satisfying though, when it's not in the dead of night. At daytime it sounds the best with noise from everywhere else

[gearsgamer]

issue is, cherry mx blue sound terrible for a clicky switch, as all click jacket switches sound terrible and all other clicky switches sound much better.

My wife loves blue switches and types super fast….

[YRH]

I like blue switch and many people hate it. Idk why, I guess it's too loud, not when I'm wearing headphones 🤯

[bruno]

Blue switches the best ones had many different ones bit the sound And the feel Is JUST awesome

[SylvieTheCuteSylveon]

Only switches I want are the ones in bed when the lights are off.
Oh wait we're talking about keyboard switches?

[Gordon-Freeman-Gaming]

Imma need that first keyboard for reasons🙏💀

[zenjch]

I personally like cherry blues more than linear switches because they just feel way better and way more responsive.

[alexmilioris]

Biggest problem for me is what type of keyboard I need. Both for gaming and for work :(
