Greetings.
I currently own an Apple Extended II with cream Alps. I am very happy with this keyboard and like the feeling of it. My fingers do not tire when typing on this keyboard.
I am looking for a new keyboard to buy...just because I want to.
I'd prefer not to spend too much though. Used would be fine. I'm also keeping an eye out for the Cherry keyboards. (with the shell, etc...made by Cherry)
My question: Would Cherry MX Clear be somewhat similar to my cream Alps?
In a store, I tried Blues and Browns. I immediately noticed how much lighter they are than my cream Alps. The Browns almost felt linear. The Blues had nice tactility, but I didn't like the high-pitched clicky noise and they, too, were a bit light.
Would the Clears be more to my liking? Please note that I DO bottom out my cream Alps. I suspect I would also (try to) bottom out other switches.
One concern I have: I have a G81-3000 MY-switch keyboard and hate it. Those MY-switches make my fingers tire. According to the force diagram, they (MY) bottom out at 120g. That is too much. My cream ALPS bottom out at 80g. That's just fine. The MX Clear bottoms out at 100g. Will this be too tiring for me? Or will I be fine?
Tl;dr:- Cream Alps bottom out at 80g and I love them.
- Cherry MY bottom out at 120g and I hate them (too tiring for typing!).
- Cherry MX Clear bottom out at 100g. Are they closer to the Alps or to the MY switches? Will I like them?
PS: I'm not willing to start modifying switches.
Any feedback or recommendations would be much appreciated.
