Forget what geekwhack thinks about these Cherry ML switches, because I am loving them. Every review I heard of them pretty much being short throw browns I'd say is the closest thing I can think of to describing them. The one thing would be that they feel quite a bit more tactile than browns. Perhaps not more force to pass the bump, but it definitely comes on sharper. It is interesting though, because they are quieter than browns. Hell they are even quieter than blacks. They still sound like browns though, just significantly quieter. I don't know the reason why they are like that, but I have definitely found my new keyboard to use around people whom are easily disturbed.
I'd say the tactility is somewhere between browns and clears. Peak force about 55 cN is a bit too much for me, especially in combination with switches being a bit sticky—I miss a keystroke every now and then. I'd have to smash the keys hard, and bottom out rather heavily to get rid of the stickiness, but the tactility would be irrelevant then. Maybe I should lube all switches, as someone suggested in
the last thread about Cherry ML. I suppose the keyboard would be rather quiet as well, but not completely because of keycaps (mine are lasered&filled ABS). It isn't even close to being silent now.
Another hit and miss. I really like the layout for a sub-TKL, unfortunately, it doesn't have a super (Windows) key. For me this is a pain in the butt since Ubuntu/Unity use it for a lot of things. Really wish they would have added the super and right control key in under a function layer of the left alt and ins key respectively.
Mine (G84-4100LCMTS-2) has a Win/Meta keys (between Fn and Alt, and between AltGr and Menu).
