look into a mechanical keyboard we're going to walk you through as fast as

8
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:35,480
possible the various types of key switch types that are available on common

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,800
mechanical keyboards not all mechanical switches have that distinct clicky noise

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:43,920
to them this is a Cherry MX red switch which has a linear press a non-tactile

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,920
feel so you can't actually feel the actuation point and it is a very light

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,520
button press so you don't have to press hard on the keyboard Cherry MX black

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:56,000
switches are like a heavier version of Reds so you can't quite feel the

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:01:00,359
actuation point but they do get slightly heavier as you press down and reach the

15
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:04,040
bottom of the keystroke speaking of bottoming out that's part of what makes

16
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:06,960
typing on a membrane keyboard fatiguing you have to go all the way down to

17
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:10,000
activate it and have the letter you're typing appear on the screen Browns are

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:17,640
the first switch we're showing you they're a little bit lighter than Blues where there is an activation bump you

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:19,640
can feel it so all MX switches go 4 mm

20
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:24,400
all the way down and 2 mm to the actuation point but on a brown you can

21
00:01:22,119 --> 00:01:27,320
really feel that spot so that's where you get that tactile feedback in your

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:33,040
fingers so you know that you've activated the button and you don't actually have to press it all the the

23
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,280
way down cherrymx Blue switches are the

24
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:40,360
ones that most people will think of when they think of mechanical keyboards

25
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:44,159
because they have that distinctive clicky sound they're a little bit

26
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:49,280
heavier to press than Browns and you can really feel the actuation point as well

27
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:51,520
