Kailh box brown VS Gateron brown?
« on: Tue, 24 July 2018, 11:31:20 »
Is there any difference between the tactility and the weight of these switches? If you tried them both which one you prefer?

you can get a switch tester from kbdfans for quite cheap and you will be able to tell for yourself and try the other khail box variants. I've never tested gateron brown so I don't want to mislead you.

Edit : I should add that i've ordered a switch tester like this and after using it for 1~2 months the khail box brown and khail box burnt orange now have now a slight clicky sound to them.

Given the recent  clicky-sound gate on the box switches..

We aught to hold off until precise cause is found

Don't forget the keycap cracking.
