POLL: Do all your Cherry MX Blue or Green clicks?

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.

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.

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.

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.

That's the Adult thing to do... ;D

You are harder to push than a blue, but you are still clicky. Quite rare, but still sought after.

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.

My Filco with Blues has a non-clicking switch (Tab), which is not as annoying as a letter key.
I still don't know what to do with it since it is plate mounted and I am not really skilled in soldering.  :(

1- Make sure you vote
2- I never replaced a switch myself. We need to do little research on how to do it OR return that thing backs to its maker and get a replacement.

Anyone knows where we can buy GREEN MX?

I'm surprised
  • pre 2012 seams to have the same defect rate than recent boards
  • I would have expect a larger population for pre-2012 - Where are those old owners?

Or maybe older switches are less prone to non-clicking.  Somewhere I read that with the rising popularity of MX switch-based keyboards, Cherry might have had to ramp u production of switches with a slight loss of quality control.  Or maybe there is a certain percent of faulty switches in each batch, and more batches are being made so more faulty switches are escaping into the wild.

idk.. giving the Germans the benefit of the doubt,, their side of quality control is probably the same....

So.. we're likely just seeing more REPORTS of switch irregularities proportional to total volume sold/produced.

A good point.  Those that are happy with their keyboard seldom complain or compliment.  Those with a defective keyboard are are often the loudest.

A quick DIY invention i made that might help you guys. I also posted it in the Other non clicking thread

It is designed to Press the keys REALLY fast via attachment to a variable speed power drill.

Or maybe older switches are less prone to non-clicking.  Somewhere I read that with the rising popularity of MX switch-based keyboards, Cherry might have had to ramp u production of switches with a slight loss of quality control.  Or maybe there is a certain percent of faulty switches in each batch, and more batches are being made so more faulty switches are escaping into the wild.

Ok but that should make a lot of entries for All keys were clicking out of the box... This poll asks for working too.

I've used a few keyboards made in late 80s or early 90s, and some Cherry MX Blues were non-clicky on them—after spending about 20 years in a box, but maybe they'd need some break-in period...?

Some sex toys might be softer and less risky to achieve the task you are proposing.

It even made me think of something out of an electric tooth brush.

Um... yea, you could.... use some sex toy, but the problem with that would be material...

I'd assume most sex toy would be made out of some sort of hard plastic.. So if you don't get the edges right, it might cause too much friction and melt your keys...

Feedback from Rajiv seems to suggest that CM have resolved their issues.  And there are not many (if any?) similar reports about the Ducky, so maybe it was just a bad batch of switches.

Good for you.

I'm uber jelly of your Ducky Pro LE PBT with Green. That was my first choice but was out of stock.
I fold back on what seams to be a deal... 88$ CM QFR Green.

CM sent me a tracking number yesterday. They will replace the QFR by a Trigger since the QFR with Green is still two months away.

Can't recall. Does the Trigger one of those dumb backlits with no onboard memory (ie lighting setup resets at each reboot) or do they keep their settings à la Deck?

You will definitely love the greens.  Although I would definitely prefer the Ducky over the QFR; at 88 dollars, the QFR is an incredible buy.  Especially considering the ~60 dollars price premium of the Ducky

I had a chance to try the Greens on the QFR before sending it back to its sender for replacement. (6 keys not clicking)
I really like the feel of the Greens. Now I just realized I accepted the offer of a Trigger from CM since the QFR with green is still 2 months away.
I'm not interested by the Trigger at all. Even with Greens. I will get rid of it as soon as it arrives.

NIB CM Storm Trigger $90 + shipping.

I received Pure with Whites/Milks last week and it have ~10 almost non-clicky keys. ~20 have good click and the remaining ~30 switches have sort of half-proper click - it's noticeable, but not as loud as that good ~20. I'm a bit disappointed with this board, will try to disassemble some non-clicky switches to see what's wrong with them.

Have a Trigger with greens with one key that doesn't click and a couple that click less than the others.  Can't feel the difference though.
