Sooo dissapoint

[enoy21]

Don't the browns fit the Very light bill and with bottoming out Very loud ?    People say blues are louder , but I find that they just seem higher "pitched" rather than louder. Someone on here I think ( ripster or Keyboardlover? ) actually did a recording with a visual spectrum of the sound waves.

I see what your point is , but sometimes I think that ends up turning people off because it's so drastic.   To me a Brown or a Blue is a great " first Mech" switch.  Then at that point get into some of the others for the fun and extremes.

Totally agree. (Actually completely agree with everything you said but if I comment on everything then this post will go on forever.)

Browns are the MX 'entry drug'.

Once the initial shock of paying $100+ for a keyboard is over and the advantages of a the mech switch is proved ('cause if it is disproved then the person will probably just go back to RD boards) then it is time to try out the other more distinctive switches with browns as the benchmark to refer back to.

  For me I think Blue's are the starting points... and funny enough, from a few post I've read on here.  The return point as well! I got rid of my BWU blue's and now typing on Black's and though I LOVE the Cherry Black's, I do miss the sound of the Blue's.  Hence ordering the Ducky Shine in Blue's...

That's good input peoples!  I didn't realize there was a contingent out there who actually disliked brown switches.  Obviously I don't understand why you don't like them, because I love them!  

Thank you!

The Solutor's main complaint about them is that they try to have aspects of almost all other switches and then fails to do any of them correctly. In other words an attempted jack-of-all-trades that falls short. That's why he pushes ergo clears so much, because of how much more you're supposed to be able to feel the tactility (I haven't tried those yet, but I'm about to start experimenting with panda clears (using black springs instead) first). I happen to completely agree with him.

I generally like tactility. I've used/tried all sorts switches so far (acers/bs/space invader, so on). In order to feel any tactility from browns I have to type waaay too slowly, and if I don't do that I'd almost prefer they were fully linear because it just seems strange what the result is. I don't even think I'd like linear (I don't like the idea of them at all, but I have not used them. Similar to how I knew I wouldn't like browns to begin with just from all the descriptions I've read. I gave them a fair shot of several weeks and it always just felt off no matter what way I was using it.) boards either. The result is that if I had to choose today a single switch it would never be browns.

This is coming from a guy who has spent TONS of time with EACH switch.

It's all subjective, but experience counts for something. For instance, if you're buying a car, would you rather trust the opinion of Michael Schumacher or some jerk off the street who prefers bicycles?

Before or after his foray into competitive motorcycle racing?  I don't think he's been quite right since.

[spolia optima]

irrelevant.

and actually I didn't know he raced motorcycles. I just picked Schumacher 'cuz he's the stig lol

Strong recommendation.
