is nc.com hey guys we're up here in the VIP
0:12
section of the CM Storm Booth which is
0:15
very very cool because they have a green switch Cherry mechanical keyboard these
0:19
are Cherry MX greens and they are very
0:22
very heavy I know explaining what switches are like on video is very very
0:27
difficult and most people don't actually understand because you really really
0:31
can't tell how it will feel to you until you try it in person the biggest thing
0:35
that I suggest people do when they're buying mechanical keyboard is they try out all the different switch types they
0:39
can before buying one and if you're buying a green that is very important
0:43
because while I might like it it is very very heavy and they push back up against
0:48
you very very hard if you have experience typing on a blue it's not
0:51
just a slight increase in weight it's very very noticeable I currently use
0:56
Blues on almost all my keyboards and I love it and I would really like to have
0:59
a green although I don't have one currently because I like that that heavy
1:03
heavy feedback where it's really really pushing against you they're very very
1:06
very heavy so if you're interested in a green I would highly highly suggest
1:10
trying one out before you buy one but if you do want to buy one CM Storm has them
1:16
and they are one of the only companies I know that make full green mechanical
1:19
keyboards I know ducky has in the past and a few other company has as well but
1:24
they are currently doing it although they are having problems keeping them in stock because they are selling very many
1:28
of them I just wanted to show you guys green switches now if you're wondering
1:32
how they compare they're very very heavy compared to Blues like I explained
1:35
before they have a tactile bump that you can hear and they're very very clicky
1:40
they're actually a little bit more accurate than Blues are Blues have a slight problem where when you hear the
1:45
click as you can hear
1:48
this I hope you could hear that I just shoved the mic right on top of it um you
1:52
can hear that the blue the actuation point isn't exactly where the click is
1:57
so if you just click it and come back up you might not actually actuate the key
2:01
meaning that the key press does not get transferred to the computer greens are
2:04
more accurate in that aspect which is cool now don't freak out if you're
2:08
buying a blue and you're worried that it's not going to actuate every single time you go down it is quite accurate
2:13
it's just a known problem it can happen sometimes it won't happen very often
