Glorious Gateron, Linear Silent - Brown Switches

Product Information

Gateron switches are not rated as high for durability as Cherry MX. Due to their rigorous testing and standards, Cherry MX switches are rated for 100 million keystrokes, while Gateron are 50 million. The plastic is different for the Inks although Gateron will not release the specifics. We can tell by the feel that the plastic most likely has a lower coefficient of friction due to the increased smoothness of the keystroke. The Gateron Red and the Gateron browns have the excellent build quality, and the Gateron brand manufactures them.

That being said, if you work in a super quiet office, your keyboard may stand out a little bit. The brown switches are not most quiet option, unless you go for a Gateron Silent Brown. Otherwise, a linear switch is your best bet as they produce the least amount of noise. MX Green switches are tactile and make a noise when pressed. These key switches feature an 80cN actuation force and 2.2mm of pre-travel. MX Clear: The Cherry MX Brown switch is considered extremely high quality. The switch has a lifespan of 100 million keystrokes, which means you can use this switch for years without worrying about it breaking down. The small bump of the tactile switch helps limit typos and can make programming a more streamlined experience. Optical switches have a different feel than mechanical and for that reason they can feel strange to use. They tend to feel a bit hollow and fake.Travel Distance – the travel distance of a switch is the distance from the top of the key (un-pressed) to the bottom of the key (when pressed all the way down.) The point at which the switch is fully bottomed out is the end of the travel distance. It is also measured in millimeters (mm).

The Gateron Brown switches have an actuation of 45g which means the keypress is light, and you don’t have to worry about fingers getting fatigued during your keypress. The sound levels with a silent switch are significantly lower, in a test we found that silent switches are 16% more quiet than a normal switch. Activation Point – this indicates at which point the switch is pressed down hard enough to translate information from keyboard to computer. Most switches will have an actuation point of around 2mm unless the switch is low-profile, in which case the activation point is shorter. This pressure point is measured in millimeters (mm). If you’re in the market for a new mechanical keyboard, but you’re not sure what style switch you should choose, in this post, we’ve highlighted the main differences between red, blue, and brown switches. Glorious Lynx switches are linear, providing you with a smooth typing feel. These switches have an actuation of 60g. Similar to the Panda range, these switches will make the same ‘thonk’ when pressed. Glorious Fox:

The benefits of this switch design are the fact that they allow a mechanical keyboard to be designed to be thinner and have a shorter actuation distance, which is in theory is faster for gaming.

MX Speed Silver switches have been expertly designed for precision and speed. These switches are smooth and have a 45cN actuation force. The keyboard has a supreme typing experience with an excellent case design, super smooth stabilizers, and PBT keycaps. But it’s not as simple as buying the first mechanical keyboard you find. There are many different kinds, and the main thing you should consider when deciding on your next mechanical keyboard is the type of switch that they use. The kind of switch used can completely change the feel and sound of the keys under your fingers, so it’s important. Operating Force – this refers to the force required to make the key press down and register the keystroke to the computer. I.e.: how hard you must press the key. This measurement of (cN) refers to centinewtons. The only switch that differs slightly is the Gateron Clear switch which is totally different from the Cherry MX Clear. Instead of being a heavy tactile, the Gateron Clear is a super-light linear switch.The bump also prevents you from bottoming-out, which happens when you press the key too hard and slam it down into the keyboard. Bottoming-out is common for those who are new to mechanical switches and choose a switch such as a red option. Red, Blue, and Brown mechanical key switches are still the most popular ones on the market. If possible, you should try each of these switch types for yourself to see which you prefer – a mechanical key switch tester kit can help with this. But there are some differences that can point you in the right direction without personal testing. Because they’re still the most popular brand on the market, we’ll focus on Cherry MX switches. Mechanical Keyboard Switches Chart

There are four different types of key switches you can choose from. Each has its own use and unique set of characteristics. The hallmark differences of the Ink switches are the clear smoky housing, different plastic material, lower pitch sound, and smoother feel. Outemu Brown switches are one of the cheapest switches. If you are looking for a budget keyboard, they will usually have Outemu switches.Brown switches are tactile. They have a slight bump on each keystroke which makes them excellent for typing and programming but they are not the best for gaming. Brown switches produce a moderate amount of noise. Every mechanical keyboard consists of keys that utilise a switch mechanism. This is generally constructed from a spring, stem, and some type of housing. What are the different types of key switches?
