Keyswitch Impression Analogy
« on: Wed, 01 February 2012, 21:02:28 »
Having tried three different Cherry switches so far, I came up with the following conclusion:

Cherry MX Blue = Heroin. Very strong, very quick addiction

Cherry MX Brown = Tobacco. Slow to develop addiction, very hard to break.

Cherry MX Black = Sex. Tiring, but satisfying.



What is YOUR impression of the switches? And how about red switches? Topre? Alps?

"I hated the Blackwidow. Hated, hated, hated, hated, hated the Blackwidow. Hated it. Hated every cheapening feeble useless user-insulting gimmicks of it. Hated the keycap font that thought anyone would like it. Hated the marketing pretense to the keyboard by its belief that anyone would be impressed by it."

Cherry MX Red: Same as Black, except you don't have to do anything.

alps=muscle cars... inefficient but keep you wanting to drive them and then taking them apart, just to make sure you don't miss anything
topre=sushi, some hate them, some love them absolutely and keep trying new flavor... good sushi are incredibly expensive tho'

You thought it was white, and then found out it is actually black, with a kick.
