Blue to Clear switch
« on: Sun, 26 October 2014, 09:00:04 »
What do i feel when i change my blue switch keyboard to clear switch? Only click sound? And i know that clear is more heavy.

Another question is what is the main diff between brown and clear?

Yeah. You lose the click, like you said.

Clear's bump is more noticeable than a brown, and not because it is a "heavier" switch.
My wife I a also push her button . But now she have her button push by a different men. So I buy a keyboard a mechanicale, she a reliable like a Fiat.

Bigger tactile bump, no click sound, and clears gets heavier as you depress the switch... that's about it.

I moved from blue to clear a while ago and haven't looked back... but as epzy pointed out they do tend to get heavy at the bottom. It teaches you real quick to release after actuation and not after bottoming out. In my experience, this is an easy habit to develop though as the bigger bump is very noticeable.

With a few of my mx clears I noticed a ping sound with what I can only imagine is due to the shorter spring in the clear switch. I'm tinkering with panda clears at the moment by pairing some spare springs from green switches with clear stems. But that's kind of the great thing about clears... the stem is great and is compatible with just about any spring you'd like. (as long as you lube)

Well anyways... off my soap box... I love clears  :p
