Descriptions of each switch:
Red Switches:
They are known for their smooth, linear actuation and low actuation force, which makes them easy to press and allows for quick, effortless typing. The actuation point, or the point at which the switch registers a key press, is located near the top of the keystroke, which allows for quick, responsive typing. These switches do not have a tactile bump, which means that they do not provide any physical feedback when the actuation point is reached. Instead, they rely on the auditory feedback of the switch bottoming out to provide confirmation of a key press. They are often used in gaming keyboards because of their low actuation force and quick actuation point, which allows for rapid, precise input. They are also popular among typists because of their smooth, linear actuation and lack of a tactile bump, which can make typing more comfortable and efficient.
Black Switches:
The main characteristic is their high actuation force, which requires more effort to press the key down. This can make them less suitable for rapid, frequent typing, but may be preferred by some users who prefer a firmer, more resistant keystroke. They also do not have a tactile bump, which means that they do not provide any physical feedback when the actuation point is reached. Instead, they rely on the auditory feedback of the switch bottoming out to provide confirmation of a key press. They are often used in gaming keyboards because of their linear actuation and high actuation force, which can be beneficial for precise, controlled input. They are also popular among users who prefer a firmer, more resistant keystroke.
Brown Switches:
The main characteristic is their tactile bump, which provides a small amount of physical feedback when the actuation point is reached. This can make typing more comfortable and accurate, as it allows the user to know exactly when the switch has been activated. The actuation force is also moderate, which means that they require a moderate amount of effort to press the key down. This can make them suitable for both typing and gaming.
Blue Switches:
They are known for their loud, audible click sound, which can provide auditory feedback when the switch is activated. The main characteristic is their tactile bump, which provides a small amount of physical feedback when the actuation point is reached. The actuation force is also high, which means that they require a significant amount of effort to press the key down. This can make them less suitable for rapid, frequent typing, but may be preferred by some users who prefer a firmer, more resistant keystroke. They are often used in a variety of keyboards, including gaming keyboards and general-purpose keyboards. They are popular among users who want a high level of tactile feedback and a firmer, more resistant keystroke, and are often considered a good switch for typing.
Clear Switches:
They are known for their tactile feedback and moderate actuation force. The main characteristic is their tactile bump, which provides a small amount of physical feedback when the actuation point is reached. This can make typing more comfortable and accurate, as it allows the user to know exactly when the switch has been activated. The actuation force is also moderate, which means that they require a moderate amount of effort to press the key down. This can make them suitable for both typing and gaming. They are popular among users who want a balanced combination of tactile feedback and actuation force, and are often considered a good all-around switch for both typing and gaming.
