Cherry MX Brown (RGB)
tactile
Our most popular switch. Cherry MX Brown switches are tactile and quiet. Excellent for office use. These are a preferred choice for developers, writers, and anyone who works long hours in front of the computer.

Actuation force2.0±0.6mm
Pre-travelCherry MX Red (RGB)
linear
Most popular among gamers for their relatively light weight, and lack of tactile feedback. A solid performer for high-speed keypresses.
45±20gf
Actuation force2.0±0.6mm
Pre-travelCherry MX Silent Red (RGB)
linear
A very quiet keyswitch, it’s as close as you’re going to get to the acoustics of typing on a laptop. Ideal for typing during conference calls and next to coworkers. It’s so quiet, people around you might not even realize it’s a mechanical keyboard.
45±15gf
Actuation force2.0±0.6mm
Pre-travelCherry MX Blue (RGB)
clicky
Almost as popular as the Browns, MX Blue are everyone's favorite "clicky" switch. Easily recognizable by their signature audible clicking sound. Ideal for people who work from home, or have colleagues who appreciate old-school mechanical keyboards.
50±15gf
Actuation force2.0±0.6mm
Pre-travelKailh Bronze (Thick Gold)
clicky
Popcorn in keyboard form. These are clicky in a way we’ve never experienced before: Clicks once on the downstroke, and clicks again on the upstroke. A high-pitched, crisp click. Light, precise, and utterly unique — this keyswitch is addictive. These switches actuate before the audible click. This means you can tap them very lightly and still get a character on your screen.
50±10gf
Actuation force1.1±0.4mm
Pre-travelKailh Gold
clicky
An extremely fun keyswitch — we would almost say it’s exciting to type on. Its click is crisp and precise, and its actuation is smooth. Just typing on this switch would make you feel productive. These switches actuate before the audible click. This means you can tap them very lightly and still get a character on your screen.
60±10gf
Actuation force1.4±0.3mm
Pre-travelKailh Silver
linear
This is an extremely smooth keyswitch. Light enough not to tire your fingers, and quiet, too. You can feel the linear resistance, but it’s not too much — just springy enough so that you feel you’re actually pressing something. Ideal for soft typing in an office environment. These switches have a high actuation point. This means you can tap them very lightly and still get a character on your screen.
40±10gf
Actuation force1.1±0.3mm
Pre-travelKailh Copper
tactile
Quite similar to the Kailh Silver, only these are tactile. So even though it’s specced the same in terms of actuation force, to our fingers these switches felt heavier than the Silver. Just as smooth as the Silver, but louder and a bit more muscular. Think “Brown lite”. These switches actuate before the audible click. This means you can tap them very lightly and still get a character on your screen.
40±10gf
Actuation force1.1±0.3mm
Pre-travelKailh Box Brown
tactile
As we've come to expect from a switch labeled Brown, the tactile bump is gentle. These feel solid, right between a loud clicky switch and a smooth linear. Actuated slowly, you'd feel an almost buckling effect as the switch reaches its tactile point.
50±15gf
Actuation force1.8±0.3mm
Pre-travelKailh Box Red
linear
These are very civil switches. Typing on them is a pleasant, gentle experience. The linear action is easy on the fingers, and the sound is a little muted. Like other Kailh switches, actuation is beautifully smooth and fluid.
45±15gf
Actuation force1.8±0.3mm
Pre-travelKailh Box White
clicky
Slightly lower in pitch than the Kailh Gold, these are clicky to the point of being crunchy. Actuation is a smidge lighter, and it feels as though the box design might result in a slightly more resonant click.
45±10gf
Actuation force1.8±0.3mm
Pre-travelKailh Box Black
linear
Oh, such springy smoothness. We often think of Black switches as somewhat firm due to the high actuation force, but the buttery smooth action of the Box Black makes them feel lighter somehow. These switches still push back, but they don't feel tiresome.
60±10gf
Actuation force1.8±0.3mm
