This might be a weird question... but if you've ever used an HHKB and enjoyed the feeling, what is your favourite Cherry MX switch?

dustinhxc · « **Reply #1 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 20:02:30 »

Vintage clears!

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between vintage and the regulars?

MX blues! still have to make loud obnoxious clacking noises once in a while

AKIMbO · « **Reply #4 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 20:48:15 »

Favorite cherry mx switch is the novatouch....topre with cherry stems.

I kid, I kid...it's stock cherry clears.

I like vintage blues the most currently compared to topre.

Nice question, or at least good timing...
I'm only using Topre boards these days, and I want to get a Pock3r for fun (yeah, massdrop, no rush I can wait august

) and I CAN'T CHOOSE A SWITCH. I used almost every "classic" MX (including 2 MX boards with clears) and damn, I "forgot"... Do I want reds for light touch? Greens for heavy clic and touch (never tried greens...)? etc. Damn... :/ I may go greens just to try them...

On my old boards, stock clears > black > brown. But I don't want more clears and I find linears better for me in MX. BUT THE CLICK!? Decisions decisions...

epzy · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 21:13:48 »

can't decide between blues, clears & linears

Sencha · « **Reply #9 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 11:20:56 »

Reds. They are to me where MX excel. As for tactile MX they pale against Topre for me./

I love black and blue

Frenir · « **Reply #11 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 14:17:45 »

Mine is MX Whites... I'm still looking for a decent board with them.

I am a little partial to the mx blues but i also like the browns. If i had to choose i would choose the blues but it's a tossup between the two.

GL1TCH3D · « **Reply #20 on:** Sun, 19 April 2015, 09:56:34 »

Clears.

I like switching between topre and ergo clears.

vintage MX switches are smooth, whereas newer stock MX switches can feel scratchy

If I have a wyse board with large and small logos, can I consider them all to be vintage?

Old logos will be a little more centered whereas new ones are closer to the stem. Don't remember what difference there was with the sizing other than IIRC THE lettering was wider on vintage.

dimmu · « **Reply #27 on:** Mon, 22 June 2015, 22:43:36 »

Vintage clears are lighter than stock, newer clears.

My favorite are vintage clears and ergo clears.

i like stock clears, 85 g clears and my favourite is ghetto greens with silicone balls mod. I will try me some jailhouse and some ergos soon enough.

Matt3o · « **Reply #36 on:** Tue, 23 June 2015, 08:01:39 »

jerue · « **Reply #37 on:** Tue, 23 June 2015, 09:13:45 »

I've got a Topre board if that counts...lol

Stock: MX Clear and MX Green. Not a fan of linear switches but MX Blacks are OK. I would probably prefer linear grey more.

Modded: Ergo clears or go home.

Joey Quinn · « **Reply #38 on:** Tue, 23 June 2015, 10:12:01 »

67-72g clears
Whites
65g blues
67-72g blacks

megnin · « **Reply #39 on:** Tue, 23 June 2015, 11:07:04 »

Wow! I was very surprised to see only one vote for Browns, my favorite. But, then I've been out of touch for a couple of years now.

Mooksie · « **Reply #40 on:** Tue, 23 June 2015, 11:41:29 »

I used a novatouch for a while and loved it, but sold it. now the only MX switch I can use is lubed vintage blacks/gateron linears, and maybe sometimes greens. I don't really like the tactile cherry switches.
