I am a recent convert to mechanical (having previously had a Corsair K50 which was pretty decent apart from the cables sheath retracted and the Corsair lettering went walkabout).
I like the slight feedback of brown Cherry switches but they are a LOT louder than my K50.
I fitted O rings yesterday which has made it nicer to type on and less noisy but its still a LOT noisier than the K50.
They only affect the down press and even then its still loud.
Its not only the end stop of the movement but the movement throughout the range (not just the trigger bump) that makes a sound.
Its like a hollow plastic noise.
If other switches are louder, I would hate to use those.
The Brown switches are just about tolerable and are nice to type on
I'm no wuss, but I find black to be very fatiguing and uncomfortable to use. Reds are like typing on butter, browns are a nice in between.
CHERRY GREENS. MAXIMUM FORCE. MAXIMUM CLICK!!!!! Aaaaaaaah!
Brown4Evah!
Browns, which I decided to go with, feel the most like the older mechanical keyboards to me. A pleasure to type on. Not silent but not forcing a click on you either. A nice bump feeling when you've hit the key. Clears are great too, but I don't prefer it (though I've only typed on them once).
i tried googling it but it was kind of all over the map in terms of a concise explanation.
Thanks
