deterdettol's views on Cherry MX Brown switches. - deterdettol

This quote was added by deterdettol
Many users of mechanical keyboards hate Brown key switches. Its critics blast its scratchy, weak tactile bumps. For me, however, I wanted a switch that isn't as noisy as Blues, but found Reds too light and prone to accidental presses. I found that Browns with the slight tactile bump provided slightly more resistance and feedback which I still find useful, and the slightness of the bump is not an issue for me during typing because I tend to bottom out anyway. All in all they suit my needs well.

cherry mx brown are garbage and if you like them that's because you haven't tried good tactile switches. you pay 1$ + for mx brown while you can pay 50cents for koala switches that are amazing and if those are too heavy you can buy kailhua box switches that are 30 cents the brown is dirt cheap and guess what they are better than mx browns

The problem with MX Browns isn't that their garbage tactile bump, but that you could get a myriad of aftermarket switches. Gateron, Zeal, Kailh, etc. They all make switch offerings with significantly smoother actuation and a more substantial tactile bump. All in all, brown switches suck because of what's on the market, and at times for cheaper.
