Cherry MX Brown vs Gateron Ink Switches V2

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.

The switches arrived in a little bag of 70, and were packaged well inside a box. The switches are genuine Gaterons as far as I can tell and feel really smooth. But the real magic of the Gateron Black Ink V2 reveals itself after lubing them. Using an aluminium switch opener and lubing the switch and throwing an Akko ASA profile keycap on them, it sounds FANTASTIC
