Excellent article with need to know information condensed for easy reading. The audio and pictures as well as operational diagram is also nice. Gold standard peripheral review/article!

Thanks for the article. It’s the most helpful on this topic I’ve seen. I’ll be back to double-check my choice 🙂

In reply to Burt. Yes the Zealios v2 67g are the switches I am currently using in my custom board they are a great tactile option. They are quite expensive though and can only really be used in a custom keyboards as there are no stock keyboards that come with them. For most people reading about Cherry switches though they will be looking at the stock switches. I mention a few other bespoke switches towards the end of the article. Thanks for commenting.

The tree diagram really helped the process become more simple than trying to figure out each aspect of each switch.

Thank you so much for this comparison and explanation of Cherry Switches. I came a cross a keyboard I am very interested in buying and they offer Red, Blue, or Brown, on the particular model I am looking at, and after reading your guide, you have saved me from getting the wrong ones (Blue). Like yourself, I also like to slightly feel the key press while gaming as long as the bump isn’t overly noticeable, and requires too much force to press them. So it looks like Brown is what I am going to order with my new mechanical keyboard. Great guide!
