Title: Gateron Black Vs Cherry MX Nature White
Post by: christpunchers on Sun, 25 March 2018, 15:51:00

Hi there!

I have a Corsair K70 with MX Speed. It’s like the Red but both are too light for my liking.

I’m looking for a new keyboard that has stiffer keys but not to the extent of the MX Blacks.

I have narrowed it down to either the Gateron Black or the MX Nature Clear. Does anyone with experience with those care to comment?

I’m also debating which keyboard to get. The Rantopad MT with the Gateron Blacks, or the GMMK with Gateron Blacks, or the Ducky Shine 5 with the Cherry MX Nature White. I guess that will all depend on first which switch is subjectively superior.

I was in the same boat before and after a lot of research I think the answer points towards Gateron Yellow.

Gateron Black and MX Nature White are both closer to MX Black than in the middle.
