Title: Omron Switches
Post by: gameaholic on Sat, 15 November 2014, 00:15:44

Got me an Asus Gladius mouse.  It has replaceable omron switches.  Besides the ones included (light and heavy) what are some other ones that will fit and what characteristics do they have?  Are they classified as tactile, linear, silent, etc like cherry switches are?

I'm looking for some soft switches to make a change in my logitech g500 but there are so many models I go crazy and not what is best .

they're all pretty clicky-tactile. just weight / stroke length is what differs I think.
sound-wise, the harder ones are louder usually. but sound depends more on mouse chassis design.
