Which switch does Cherry sell the most?
MX Browns.Lifehacker called Browns "some of the most popular on the market."
Ergodox says Browns are "our most popular switch."
PCGamer.com prattled, "A good blend of typing and gaming. Cherry
MX Brown is widely considered the best 'middle-ground' switch... Its tactile bump, silent travel, and medium actuation force makes it versatile."
CODE says, "[We offer] the wildly popular Cherry
MX Brown mechanical keyswitches... [They] are very balanced for typing or gaming excellence."
Yeah, well—
blah, blah, blah. As more than one GH member has astutely observed,
MX Browns feel like
MX Reds with sand in them. It's such a dead-accurate description, it baffles me why those guys above didn't say something like, "MX Browns are Cherry's most popular switch, even though they feel like
MX Reds with sand in them, so go figure." I can only surmise that strangely focused cosmic rays disrupted their brains and prevented them from finishing that
otherwise bloody obvious sentence.Is it just a coincidence that Cherry made
MX Browns the
color of excrement? I don't think so.
If you don't like MX Browns, please post your honest, uninhibited, pedal-to-the-floor opinions here.
If you do like Browns, there are lots of other threads, so please go away and post in some of those instead. We're not interested in groundless, pathetic whinging proving only that Browns have clouded your judgment.Some peeps are so brainwashed by the
Brown's supposed popularity, they're convinced they
should like them—and that if they don't, there's something wrong with
them, not the switches.
When others start using the bumpy, scratchy things, it apparently creates an subconscious, hypnotic effect that transports them to a
dreamy magical brown world where they're so busy floating around humming and smiling and eating
brown candy or whatever that they don't realize they're thumping away on gritty, icky, scratchy excuses for switches they could be using to polish beach rocks.
Press, scratch, bump, scratch... Bleah!
MX Browns. OK, now you.
