Title: Black vs. White
Post by: Icte on Thu, 08 August 2013, 15:46:46
Hi!

Got a question for whoever's interested! Two Cherry MX switches are put in a pit for a Deathmatch - it is Black vs. white (NOT clears)!

Which one do you prefer? The allmighty black?? Or the holy mackaroni white?? A good motovation gives extra credits!  ;D

Lmao omg its a battle between the good and the evil and not between races! Now if the question was who'd win between a black and a white keyboard.. Now that'd be racist ;)

Besides, I'm both black and white skinned! I am.. The Grey Warden!

When I read the title, I thought that this should have been in the off topic forum.

I haven't tried either switch, so I don't know.

I used to have a teacher who said that nothing is black or white, everything is shades of gray.  Someone (not me) put that on an exam paper and got an extra mark.

Anyway, blacks (if you can't get BS).

as a perpetually disgruntled WINdows user,

I call it LOSEdows for losers who can't use linux and can't afford to buy everything Mac.

But hey, face it, for a technically unskilled person, if you can spend just $500 on a complete system (without monitor, keyboard and mouse of course), that has got to be a LOSEdows system. So as much as I criticize LOSEdows and myself for using it, I refuse to join my friends in their MacWorld where a single Apple adapter can cost $60.

But Black is Non-clicketyclack! :O
White 'cause of the soft click?

BTW, for MX White owners - how would YOU describe the click of Whites? Similiar to Blues? Or like more "damp" (Topre-thump in mind!)?

Feels the same as blues, just quieter because of factory lube and different material clicker. If you keep the stock springs on it then it's a little less tactile feeling.

Hm.. Is it a high-pitched click or a bit lower, thumpish?

Post by: Sifo on Mon, 12 August 2013, 04:49:12
