Cherry MX Blue or Green: Do all your keyboard keys click?

Bought in 2012-2013    : Yes all keys were clicking when new
Bought in 2012-2013    : Some keys didn't when new
Bought before 2012   : Yes all keys were clicking when new
Bought before 2012   : Some keys didn't when new

Mr.Green Part I (PG-13)

Mr.Green Part II Rated G
Part one was showing a nipple and offended some viewers. So I made a Rated G sequel with no naked parts exposed. Joke aside, apparently part one was misleading due to trivial sound physics. It was like taking the body out of a guitar (the body provides the resonance that shapes the tonal qualities of the instrument). Someone could probably win a case in court with a solid argument like that. So enjoy this new unbiased video and try to figure which keys are not clicking.

Happy polling

When customer service say - Never heard of it. Sometimes it's true, sometimes it isn't.

I'm really curious about this one.

According to Cherry Corp - If a MX Blue or MX Green doesn't click - It's either defective or worn out.

I'm reading many posts here and there about MX Blue or MX Green not clicking straight out of the box.

I'm hoping to get votes from as many people as possible and see if there is really something to worry about with our beloved clicky Cherry Switches.

I have never used the Green so i can't comment on that. However, the blues on my Das, Poker, QuickFire have all had failed switches. It's unfortunate because i really love the blues. They are one of my favorites but i have to be cautious when i buy my next cherry mx blue. If i wanted my keyboard to sound like cherry mx red i would have bought a cherry mx red keyboard.

The question is Blue or Green... You have only blue... You qualify for the vote :-)
Did you get your keyboards before or after 2012?

Early 2012, Blue - All Click

Late 2012, Green a bunch of Non-Clickys.

All cherry mx blues that failed were bought in 2011 and 2012. I have only bought a Matias keyboard this year.

I personally never heard a non clicky blue... Even the TVS Gold passes the Clicky test flawlessly.

Bought a new BWU to test blues once again, not happy at all with the switches. Considering paying somebody to mod it to clears or ergo clears.

That's fine if you didn't like blue switches... The question were they all clicking.

Maybe I should of separated Blue Answers from Green answers.

Green are so new and marginal - It might be hard to find a decent sampling population.

We'll see how the poll goes.

My Green board (which I just sold) clicked 100%, as does my Blue Choc Mini.

Both were produced in 2012.

What brand was your Green board?

The only difference between Green and Blue is the Color of the stem, and spring...

So they'd be coming off the SAME production line.

I have a few blues boards. They are all fine, all click but only my Poker was made in this century even. All the rest are old made before 1995.

Voted. I've owned a Filco with blues from 2009 or so and a CM QF with blues from 2013 and both had one switch that didn't click.  I just swapped the switches out and went on with my life.

I've voted, but just to clarify: I have two Ducky Shine (version 1) with MX blues.  On the first one all switches click equally.  On the second, two keys (up arrow and X) do not click all the time.  Depending on the angle of the press, they click most of the time.  All keys register correctly.

I have a QFR (January 2012) and a Rosewill RK-9000 (late 2011) and all keys click on both.

All these problems make me appreciate my Buckling Spring keyboard even more.

If Tp4tissue was a Cherry MX switch, he would be a clicky green.
