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

00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:17.439
section of the CM Storm Booth which is

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:22.560
very very cool because they have a green switch Cherry mechanical keyboard these

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:25.320
are Cherry MX greens and they are very

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:29.519
very heavy I know explaining what switches are like on video is very very

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:33.920
difficult and most people don't actually understand because you really really

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

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

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:46.520
can before buying one and if you're buying a green that is very important

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

00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:53.640
you very very hard if you have experience typing on a blue it's not

00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:58.039
just a slight increase in weight it's very very noticeable I currently use

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

00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:04.680
a green although I don't have one currently because I like that that heavy

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.479
heavy feedback where it's really really pushing against you they're very very

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:13.200
very heavy so if you're interested in a green I would highly highly suggest

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

00:01:16.119 --> 00:01:21.640
and they are one of the only companies I know that make full green mechanical

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

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

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:33.960
of them I just wanted to show you guys green switches now if you're wondering

00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:38.119
how they compare they're very very heavy compared to Blues like I explained

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:41.840
before they have a tactile bump that you can hear and they're very very clicky

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

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:50.200
click as you can hear

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

00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:59.560
can hear that the blue the actuation point isn't exactly where the click is

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

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.360
meaning that the key press does not get transferred to the computer greens are

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:09.360
more accurate in that aspect which is cool now don't freak out if you're

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

00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:19.959
it's just a known problem it can happen sometimes it won't happen very often

00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:24.160
