Title: Cherry MX Green or Dark Grey?
Post by: linziyi on Tue, 04 June 2013, 16:07:33

Hi! I bought a QF TK blues as my first keyboard two months ago and typed on it for a while. While being a great improvement from the $3 rubber dome I had been typing on before, the blue switches are still a little bit too light for me so I set out to look for a new board with heavier switches. I came across the Green and Dark Grey lately, and planning to buy one of these two. The Desktority wiki says they both have 80 gram actuation force, however a review (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/articles.php?article=ducky-shine-78-reviewed) says that Dark Grey is heavier...

Can anyone clarify which one is heavier?

Cherry MX Dark Grey     MX1A-21xx     stiff (80cN), linear

Cherry MX Green     MX1A-F1xx     medium stiff (80cN), clicky

Green seem popular, dark grays have been said to be a pain to type with
