I quite enjoy mx Browns. I really don't get the hate. I also like 30g topre. Maybe I jusr like switches with very low tactility
-
I've been using a Velocifire with Outemu Browns, which are supposedly worse than Cherry MX Browns, but I've actually been quite enjoying it (as long as I don't use SA keycaps on them). The weak tactility seemed like a bad idea at first, but it's enough that it changes the sound and feel from a linear enough to be interesting but not so much to tire my fingers.

Topre. But of course
-
Cherry MX Brown.
I assume because it has a good tactile bump for you Thomas?
-
modded outemu clears are lit ya'll need to learn how to lube if you think they scratch
-
My switch is...
Membrane! :|
Maybe because i'm forced to use it at school...
-
MX Browns, but that has been already said, so...
CoolerMaster's mem-chanical.
-
Razer has mem-chanical as well.
Mem-chamical is basically mechanical-keyboard tryhards

I've tried those, and yeah, they do feel like a rubberdome.
CoolerMaster's memchanicals are also rubberdomes, but they're less tactile and very smooth.

A good amount of people hate Topre? They must be the ones that haven't tried Topre.

Some people dislike the idea of any form of rubber domes as they will undeniably be mushier than a plastic counterpart. Me personally though, I don't mind it but if there is one thing that all of us can agree on it's that we'd all much rather pay 300 for a full metal body rather than a plastic fame. (Also yes I know the FC660 exist but even that thing still uses plastic for most of it's body)

In my opinion, its "tactile bump" isn't strong enough that I could consider it more than background noise or an artefact.
I like to think that I've made at least some people aware that there are actually tactile alternatives out there and that people shouldn't settle for mediocrity just because it's convenient.

I like the feedback of blues. They give me alive feelings

There's IKBC if you want cheaper all metal frames (MF87 and MF108)

Cherry MX Brown.
I personally feel that Cherry MX Brown's are just a rubber dome without the rubbery part, and is more comfortable to type on because you don't feel the rubbery part.
Sorry, but i'm all linear.

I actually listened some of your reviews about those Cherry MX Browns and have now realise your comment was sarcasm.

Cherry MX Blue. I like them but on the other hand I just installed Kailh BOX Pinks and they are superb however tad too hard for my fingers. I'm contemplating changing the springs. Apart from the better stability, lack of click jacket and sound/feel Kailh BOX Pinks have a good ratio between tactile force and bottom out force. They feel very natural to type on and definitely faster than MX Blue but that didn't make me dislike Blues. I don't think I'll be getting rid of the Blues but won't be my to-go clicky switch as of now.

unlubed ergo clear

memchanical? some of 'em are just dome with sliders

Razer mecha membrane isn't even dome with slider as I recall, it's just a noisy rubber dome.

Every switch has a good amount of people who hate it, the hard part is finding a switch most people actually like.

I often use the mostly disliked Fujitsu Peerless switches (in a clean FKB4725, where the stabilizers haven’t been worn to heck). Nowhere near “great” switches, but they are usable. The board is also very tough and has survived a lot.
I travel a fair bit internationally with family for long periods and I often can't take my more valuable boards with me. The Peerless is a decent (if big and heavy) compromise.

Unremarkable too. Take the clicker out and it will feel the same as a 15$ HP keyboard. Both keyfeel and case texture.

Cherry ML. Been using them exclusively for years. Love the sound, shorter activation point, and smaller profile. Most of the stickiness from off-presses goes away in time.

I love my Box Royals but most people at my work who try it do not like how tactile it is.

At leasts its not cherry my :rolleyes:

This picked up much more traction than I thought it would so I'm just gonna leave another controversial switch that I use right here -> Holy Pandas

I have an ML4100 in the closet which I pull out about once a year. Mine is one without Windows keys. I always enjoy the typing feel and I also think it's a very clever design with the embedded numpad. I usually use it for about a day, nodding and saying, "This is a really nice keyboard" to myself. Then it goes back into the closet. Don't know why - I'm just not a 75% keyboard guy, I guess.

If you're me, than any rubber dome is a "noisy rubber dome"

Really?

Are they any better about being consistent? Back in the day you never knew how much click you were going to get.

Yup, they were retooled at some point in the last few years. Spring is slightly lighter than the old variant and there is no inconsistency any more :)
