Favorite Cherry MX Style Switch
Favorite Cherry MX Style Switch
I think that speed silvers are extremely underated. With a bit of lube and, some use, they sound amazing and are very smooth.
Controversial but i am not the largest fan of cherry mx brown, i find it irritating that there is a bump but no click (i much prefer linear to clicky though dw)
Of what I've actually used, NK Blueberry but I don't see it

EG dark jade black. seriously.
MX Browns are obviously the best switch with 0 scratchiness and a very strong and pleasing tactile bump.
glarses would be proud.
Glarses would be upset..

People realllly need to try other switches.

The community has really started moving away from cherry. The only cherry switches I still hear about are the vintage blacks, retooled blacks, and clears.

Based on the top 7, I'd say people are still on the mx boat

I can only imagine people voting for Cherry switches haven't had the pleasure of trying other switches. After moving away from Cherry, I can't imagine going back to them.

You are quite right - and I'm responding to a 2 year old post to illustrate how my opinions have changed in the past 2 years. I voted for cherry browns and reds back when this poll was released, but my current favorite tactiles are the Halo Trues at the moment.

My favorite switches have changed too.
As of writing, my favorite are Topre (tactile) , SKCM Salmon/Orange (tactile), Cherry retool/vintage brown ("tactile"), and Outemu Phoenix (clicky).
Where is the Gateron Silent Brown switch!!
I want vote to that
It took a little while, but I got used to and like the MX Speed switches in my Corsair K95 Platinum. If you’re primarily into gaming, just barely touching it activates the switch.

*ahem* kailh speed switches, not limited to just linear, but with 2 clicky versions (though I hear bronze can sometimes be inconsistent), a tactile, and linear switch versions.

I like linear

Any linear is good. I'm happy with gateron clears, or MX black. Haven't tried anything crazy heavy like greys, but I'm sure I'd like them fine too.
Clickies are alright, but kind of noisy. If I wanted to let everyone know I'm using a mechanical keyboard, I would go with a buckling spring instead. ;)
IMO, tactiles are trash. They feel like I took my linears for a day on the beach.
I'm typing on some kailh bronzes right now. They're a high actuation linear that also clicks, but only audibly and with very little effect on the key feel. Interesting, but ordinary linears are probably my favourite still.
