Title: Clicky Switch Advice (MX-mount)
Post by: nsmechkb on Sat, 27 May 2017, 08:23:06

Good morning! 

Are there any MX-mount clicky switches that sound especially nice?  Alps SKCM Blues sound super nice--according to hearsay and typing videos--but then you're stuck with Alps mount.

The best alternative that I've come across so far seem to be Gatistotles.  There are only a handful of videos for Gatistotles, but in some of the videos the switches sound pretty nice.

Any suggestions?

This is actually kind of what I've been looking for too...the sound of Alps with the feel of Cherry Greens. So far, I haven't really come up with anything, but if someone has any suggestions, that'd be awesome!

I really liked my gatistotle sample switch and immediately bought enough to build a 60%.   Put them in a PCB and I honestly didn't like them.

I don't have an answer for you but I am trying out some of the new kaihua bronze switches next week. Maybe look at those??
