is nc.com hey guys we're up here in the VIP
section of the CM Storm Booth which is
very very cool because they have a green switch Cherry mechanical keyboard these
are Cherry MX greens and they are very
very heavy I know explaining what switches are like on video is very very
difficult and most people don't actually understand because you really really
can't tell how it will feel to you until you try it in person the biggest thing
that I suggest people do when they're buying mechanical keyboard is they try out all the different switch types they
can before buying one and if you're buying a green that is very important
because while I might like it it is very very heavy and they push back up against
you very very hard if you have experience typing on a blue it's not
just a slight increase in weight it's very very noticeable I currently use
Blues on almost all my keyboards and I love it and I would really like to have
a green although I don't have one currently because I like that that heavy
heavy feedback where it's really really pushing against you they're very very
very heavy so if you're interested in a green I would highly highly suggest
trying one out before you buy one but if you do want to buy one CM Storm has them
and they are one of the only companies I know that make full green mechanical
keyboards I know ducky has in the past and a few other company has as well but
they are currently doing it although they are having problems keeping them in stock because they are selling very many
of them I just wanted to show you guys green switches now if you're wondering
how they compare they're very very heavy compared to Blues like I explained
before they have a tactile bump that you can hear and they're very very clicky
they're actually a little bit more accurate than Blues are Blues have a slight problem where when you hear the
click as you can hear
this I hope you could hear that I just shoved the mic right on top of it um you
can hear that the blue the actuation point isn't exactly where the click is
so if you just click it and come back up you might not actually actuate the key
meaning that the key press does not get transferred to the computer greens are
more accurate in that aspect which is cool now don't freak out if you're
buying a blue and you're worried that it's not going to actuate every single time you go down it is quite accurate
it's just a known problem it can happen sometimes it won't happen very often
