gaming promo.com are you still using an old

00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:27.000
membrane keyboard do you want a more satisfying typing and gaming experience

00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:31.400
look into a mechanical keyboard we're going to walk you through as fast as

00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:35.480
possible the various types of key switch types that are available on common

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:39.800
mechanical keyboards not all mechanical switches have that distinct clicky noise

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

00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:47.920
feel so you can't actually feel the actuation point and it is a very light

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:51.520
button press so you don't have to press hard on the keyboard Cherry MX black

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:56.000
switches are like a heavier version of Reds so you can't quite feel the

00:00:53.320 --> 00:01:00.359
actuation point but they do get slightly heavier as you press down and reach the

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:04.040
bottom of the keystroke speaking of bottoming out that's part of what makes

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:06.960
typing on a membrane keyboard fatiguing you have to go all the way down to

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.000
activate it and have the letter you're typing appear on the screen Browns are

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

00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:19.640
can feel it so all MX switches go 4 mm

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

00:01:22.119 --> 00:01:27.320
really feel that spot so that's where you get that tactile feedback in your

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

00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:35.280
way down cherrymx Blue switches are the

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:40.360
ones that most people will think of when they think of mechanical keyboards

00:01:38.360 --> 00:01:44.159
because they have that distinctive clicky sound they're a little bit

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:49.280
heavier to press than Browns and you can really feel the actuation point as well

00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:51.520
as hearing that satisfying mechanical
