Cherry MX Brown vs Durock T1 Tactile Switches

Perhaps unsurprisingly, both Cherry MX and Gateron browns came out at the bottom of the ranking by this measure. On top of that, some experiments I did with swapping in more tactile stems confirm that the brown switches also have relatively weak tactile leaf springs.

Nine Out of Ten Now Sound, for the most part, is clean and crisp. No major complaint from me, apart from the fact that it's not really noteworthy to b...

Right now I am looking into the Gateron yellows and reds. I currently have an old Corsair K70 with Cherry MX Brown switches and, having heard sound tests with other switches, think that it is time for a change. So far I have been looking into the GMMK compact and HyperX pudding keycaps for a setup with RGB that is prominent but not too overwhelming.

In my opinion those are superior to T1s due to the much nicer sound and rounder tactile bump making it easier to type at speed as compared to a T1. Neopolitans are also cheaper on CanonKeys than what Amazon has these for (.70 a switch as compated to .80)

Keyboard feels really cheap. I love the PBT keycaps, the beautiful RGB, but the typing experience feels very cheap. I got the Cherry MX Brown switches (bought from mechnicalkeyboards.com, so I'm hoping it's not like a counterfeit that I happened to get), and my god it really feels like typing on a $30 knock off keyboard

Picked up both these and the regular Durock T1 switches just to compare, and this version is a noticeable improvement. Great tactility and smoothness, but the price is where it kind of falls short. Once you start inching closer to the $1.00/switch range, it can be compared to other niche switches that do the same or better
