Title: HHKB owners: what is your favourite Cherry MX switch?
Post by: s0nia on Thu, 16 April 2015, 20:01:38

This might be a weird question... but if you've ever used an HHKB and enjoyed the feeling, what is your favourite Cherry MX switch?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between vintage and the regulars?

Favorite cherry mx switch is the novatouch....topre with cherry stems.








































I kid, I kid...it's stock cherry clears.

I like vintage blues the most currently compared to topre.

Nice question, or at least good timing...
I'm only using Topre boards these days, and I want to get a Pock3r for fun (yeah, massdrop, no rush I can wait august :p ) and I CAN'T CHOOSE A SWITCH. I used almost every "classic" MX (including 2 MX boards with clears) and damn, I "forgot"... Do I want reds for light touch? Greens for heavy clic and touch (never tried greens...)? etc. Damn... :/   I may go greens just to try them...

On my old boards, stock clears > black > brown. But I don't want more clears and I find linears better for me in MX. BUT THE CLICK!? Decisions decisions...

Reds. They are to me where MX excel. As for tactile MX they pale against Topre for me./

I am a little partial to the mx blues but i also like the browns. If i had to choose i would choose the blues but it's a tossup between the two.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between vintage and the regulars?

vintage MX switches are smooth, whereas newer stock MX switches can feel scratchy

If I have a wyse board with large and small logos, can I consider them all to be vintage?

Old logos will be a little more centered whereas new ones are closer to the stem. Don't remember what difference there was with the sizing other than IIRC THE lettering was wider on vintage.

Vintage clears are lighter than stock, newer clears.

My favorite are vintage clears and ergo clears. :)

I've got a Topre board if that counts...lol

Stock: MX Clear and MX Green. Not a fan of linear switches but MX Blacks are OK. I would probably prefer linear grey more.

Modded: Ergo clears or go home.

Wow!  I was very surprised to see only one vote for Browns, my favorite.  But, then I've been out of touch for a couple of years now.

I used a novatouch for a while and loved it, but sold it. now the only MX switch I can use is lubed vintage blacks/gateron linears, and maybe sometimes greens. I don't really like the tactile cherry switches.
