is nc.com hey guys we're up here in the VIP

4
00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:17,439
section of the CM Storm Booth which is

5
00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:22,560
very very cool because they have a green switch Cherry mechanical keyboard these

6
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:25,320
are Cherry MX greens and they are very

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:29,519
very heavy I know explaining what switches are like on video is very very

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:33,920
difficult and most people don't actually understand because you really really

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:37,320
can't tell how it will feel to you until you try it in person the biggest thing

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:41,440
that I suggest people do when they're buying mechanical keyboard is they try out all the different switch types they

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:46,520
can before buying one and if you're buying a green that is very important

12
00:00:43,559 --> 00:00:49,520
because while I might like it it is very very heavy and they push back up against

13
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:53,640
you very very hard if you have experience typing on a blue it's not

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:58,039
just a slight increase in weight it's very very noticeable I currently use

15
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:00,519
Blues on almost all my keyboards and I love it and I would really like to have

16
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,680
a green although I don't have one currently because I like that that heavy

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,479
heavy feedback where it's really really pushing against you they're very very

18
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:13,200
very heavy so if you're interested in a green I would highly highly suggest

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:17,680
trying one out before you buy one but if you do want to buy one CM Storm has them

20
00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:21,640
and they are one of the only companies I know that make full green mechanical

21
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:25,439
keyboards I know ducky has in the past and a few other company has as well but

22
00:01:24,119 --> 00:01:30,400
they are currently doing it although they are having problems keeping them in stock because they are selling very many

23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,960
of them I just wanted to show you guys green switches now if you're wondering

24
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:38,119
how they compare they're very very heavy compared to Blues like I explained

25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:41,840
before they have a tactile bump that you can hear and they're very very clicky

26
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:48,240
they're actually a little bit more accurate than Blues are Blues have a slight problem where when you hear the

27
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,200
click as you can hear

28
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,840
this I hope you could hear that I just shoved the mic right on top of it um you

29
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:59,560
can hear that the blue the actuation point isn't exactly where the click is

30
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,680
so if you just click it and come back up you might not actually actuate the key

31
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,360
meaning that the key press does not get transferred to the computer greens are

32
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,360
more accurate in that aspect which is cool now don't freak out if you're

33
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:15,680
buying a blue and you're worried that it's not going to actuate every single time you go down it is quite accurate

34
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:19,959
it's just a known problem it can happen sometimes it won't happen very often
