The Difference Between Key Switches

Switches are what gives a mechanical keyboard its clicks and its clacks. You won’t see the color of them when they’re installed so you don’t really need to worry about how you feel about the colors in general, just what each switch it’s assigned to is designed to do.

The red switches have a linear behavior to them. Linear for keyboard switches means that the resistance you feel when pressing down on the keys are consistent from the when you start to press to when they meet the back of your keyboard. The red switches are also on the quieter side, so if you’re looking for something that feels good to use but is going to be for a shared space like an office or a house with roommates, the red switches aren’t a bad call.

The brown switches are my personally preferred option due to it’s tactile behavior. When you press down against a brown switch key, you’d feel the most resistance at the beginning of it’s path, which then smooths out once over that initial threshold. In my opinion, this feels the most satisfying to use whether you are typing or gaming. They have a gentle sound that isn’t too obtrusive, but still more noticeable than the red switches.

And lastly we have the blue switches. These are what mechanical keyboards are all about. They’ve got a clicky behavior and a clicky sound. This is the PC equivalent of a driver that mods their car exhaust to boom throughout the entire neighborhood. It’s obnoxious. It’s unnecessary. But damn does it feel good to be behind that wheel, errr, keyboard.

Go ahead and save $130, 62% off, when you purchase your new Keychron Q1 custom mechanical keyboard today for just $80.
