Flash definitely still uses the dt35, the guy is borderline OCD with his setup, measuring distance and angles between his monitor and keyboard, taping down his mousepad, etc. He'll likely use the same gear until he dies.

TT1, I think it might be the keycaps making the switches feel different. It's the same case with my Filcos and Leopolds. Although I don't think there's a variation in required forces.


They do feel different, Filco's black is really really stiff compared to others

Clear switches feel like blue switches, without the click sound. But they are a bit heavier and I find it hard to play for an extended span of time without noticing the fatigue on my fingers.
You might want to try brown switches if you prefer something heavier than reds and lighter than blacks. You might also want to try blue. Blue is 5g heavier than brown, it also gives off a clicky feel on top of the normal tactile bump when actuating. Browns only have the tactile bump.


Red and black switches are the only two popular linear switches, most others have tactile points.

The actuation is between them at 55.

According to the wiki it is between the two. But the stem causes it to have a bigger "bump" (than browns).

There are way too many complaints about sticky ergo clear switches.
