blue red : tik tok
I like the blue switch so my boss and my co-workers know when I'm working hard to earn every dollar.
Same here.
😭
it's also a good strategy to stop forcing you into the office LOL
I've learnt more about the difference between switches in this two minute video with no words than most of the other explanation videos that are over 20 minutes, thank you.
The neighbors like my blue switch keyboard so much that they threw a brick through my window so they could hear it better.
Nice lol

This is the video that I was searching for. No talking and intro, straight to the point 🤩🤩
People kept saying on another one of my videos that they just wanted to hear the difference. So I made this video and people like it! 👌
Very helpful indeed
@@MattieKB And we thank you for it however the mic is too far away and the audio is boosted which ruins the ASMR tingles.
true
@@MattieKB hey i got myself new keyboard with red kailh switches, and im wondering, is there much difference between same switches but like cherry mx, gateron, outemu or kailh
No 2 minute intro that repeats the title?
No jingle animation?
This is the perfect video for this type of review ! thank you very much :) I think I'll go with brown switches because I want my gf to be able to sleep when I'm gaming lol
I hate when videos don’t actually start for 1,2,4 minutes!
and I know they were not covered in this video, but you should check out cherry mx silent red switches if you want a quiet switch.
this is so thoughtful. i hope the browns worked out for you guys!!
Additional kudos for using the LED light in the background as a guide for which one was on screen if you didn't have text supplying it! A great visual cue on top of everything else 😊
Unless you're colorblind.
I thought that was a nice touch too.
Best comparison review I've seen.
Thanks!
I agree!! 👍

Thanks for this really detailed and clear video... I have been searching for this kind of detailed comparison video ever since I bought my first mechanical keyboard with brown switches, just to see what I have been missing if any. I think I have made the correct choice as I like the tactile feel and relatively quiet keystrokes of the brown switches.
Thanks again.
This video is perfect! Exactly what I am looking for. No long intro and having to skim to find what I am looking for! I love then end where the three are looped back to back. Super helpful! Thank you!
As someone who doesn't have the opportunity to try different keyboards, but cares about the types of switches, this is awesome. Thank you.
Get a switch tester, and never buy cherry switches, please.

@@bloodsausage6635 why not? I have been using cherry mx blue switches since 2017 and they've been amazing

How convenient.
nice sight bro
I saw red as brown 🥴
why do you lie?
What a legend
no he didnt
great video. even 3 years later i found this and it really helps when deciding which switch I want to go with.
Thank you for actually getting right into it, so many other ppl talk for like 2 minutes before even starting a comparison
well done bro. No stupid intro, no excessive talking, straight to te point.👍👌
I hate long intros! 👍
@@MattieKB hey man, Hella good review, just wondering, do the blue switches sound like a jet or are relatively handleable, and do the reds sound satisfying IRL, because seeing TH-cam videos makes me think my neighbours will launch a missile at my house for using Blues, and the reds will make me regret going for the cheaper keyboard.

Thank you so much for this video!!!!! I was still confused about switches for the previous months but this has helped a lot. Direct and has also covered some areas I was curious about :D

Literally just right to the point, and well explained. Great vid, it helps me a lot to hear the actual difference between the blue and the red.
yea, i just started watching and i love how he goes right to the point and doesn't talk for 20 minutes
genuinely helped me pick which switches I need for my starter keyboard, MUCH appreciated!
This is the best explanation video ever. No talking just presentation and comparison~
This is literally Keyboard's ASMR (btw the comparison i've been looking for)
Subscribing because this is the best representation of switches I’ve seen. Less talking, very short video but very informative. Thanks!
i subbed just cah the vid was so perfect. no nonsense no bullshit. literally exactly what i searched for and what i wanted. no ads no dragging it out. perfect content my friend.
Very nice video, maybe the only video with no talking and straight to the point! Congrats!
With brown switches and o rings you can have a tactile nearly silent keyboard which is perfect for live streaming or if you are a nocturnal gamer parent with young kids
Good to know
So you put small o-rings under every keycap well where it bottoms out?
ive had a mechanical keyboard with very loud clicky sound for as long as i can remember( blue switches ). very recently switched to a keyboard with brown switches and man its such a delight being able to type without parents/roommate/girlfriend making comments about me being loud on the pc :D
Oh, thank you so much for this video!!! I'm very sensitive to sounds, so this helped me figure out what switch I wanted. I know it's an older vid but just had to pop in to say you rock!
the lights' color changing according to the switch was a subtle but very smart detail!
10/10 video. gets everything straight to the point as exactly as what the title said
Thank you for keeping things simple and clean.
I wish all comparison vids were like thissss. Thank you so much!
Great demonstration!! Short and specific. Cool! Liked the last part most when you type on three keyboards in a loop.
The best comparison I have seen so far! The perfect way to understand the difference without the chitter-chatter!!
This was the most helpful straight to the point video I’ve ever watched in my life
Great vid. I guess I'll have a set of brown ones as I appreciate having some tactile feedback (so not red) and also being able to type quietly (so not blue). Thanks!
The best comparison video in all the internet, without a lot of unuseful talking! Great
Your simple desceiptions of each type is perfect for my adhd brain to comprehend 😂 thank you! It's only taken me about 4 years to find a comparison video that makes me *this* sure about what keys i *really* want..
So which kb have you had within those 4 years?)
honestly best comparison i’ve seen on youtube
Thanks for the video, very simple and informative. without unnecessary talks and intro. I like that.
I'm just getting into buying a mechanical keyboard and it's so difficult to navigate all the options. This is a great help. Thanks!
Very satisfying sound! Well done 👍
I just love videos that get right to the point and not with a 5 min introduction, 5 mins of sponsor mentions and then talking about their day.
I hate those too
thank you for making a straight to the point video and letting the keyboards talk. kudos to u brother!
This was really helpful. I'm planning on buying a mechanical keyboard and there are a lot of details I have to consider. It confuses the heck outta me. Haha. You earned my subscribe. Keep up the awesome work!
*this video is straight to the point and an asmr*
This is definitely one of the better comparison videos. Short and to the point, but still covers the points people actually want to know and hear. Cheers.
AMAZING VIDEO, Great explanation, I had no idea on the difference between red blue and brown until you!
The best video for aouncd checking of switches... just straightforward! no nonsense talking
I’ve only had experience with Blue Switches but recently I’ve been liking the sound of Brown switches. It’s like red but more round and whole with the typing sound.
Omg same
i’ve been wanting to get the blue switches, does the sound become annoying? or do you just get used to it
C the clicky sound of blue switches aren’t as bad as many people say honestly. As a programmer who spends most of my time on a computer I thought I wanted a kind of keyboard with that kind of feedback kinda like of a typewriter or something. I liked it and used it for a good few years before I passed it on to another worker who needed it. Time passes and I found myself spending more time on a computer for work and was looking for another good mechanical keyboard.
Doing some research and looking into some videos here made me realize the clicky sound of blue switches ISN’T really the one that I was really looking for.
My mother is an accountant and spending time as a kid around her while she was working I find her always clacking away with those really old and big calculators that has a printer built-in that prints the numbers on a small piece of paper similar to a cash register.
I would lul myself to sleep with the sound of those CLACKING keys that she types on the calculator. It was a very comforting sound to me and still makes me reminisce that nice wholesome sound today.
When I got the chance to do some research more on red switches and watching and hearing their typing test, I realized I wanted more of that CLACK than the CLICK!
the problem with red switches is you sacrifice the tactile feel that you get with blue switches. Then theres brown switches. Which are basically the same as the blue switches minus that CLICK sound.
That being said, I finally decided on getting an Akko retro keyboard with brown switches and I’ve never been happier with my purchase. If I can turn back time and had the chance to actually test, hands on, with the blue and brown switches, maybe I would have chosen the browns as my first mechanical keyboard.
To summarize, blue switches are okay, the clicky sound aren’t really as annoying as most people say, and you wouldn’t be missing anything BUT, if you get the chance, try out other switches if you get the opportunity to do so.
Good luck on your decision and let me know what you ended up buying!
Unboxed Experience thank you! that was so helpful! i’ll be sure to see if i can try them out sometime
@@itsquix1111 Blue switches are okay its just if you are in a work environment it might get annoying, if youre looking for a quiet and resposive feel brown is the way if youre a mixed person who do gaming and typing work then red is the best
This is perfect thank you! Seems like the brown and red are nearly identical but I've seen others swear by one or the other. Is it all in the bump you feel?
honestly because of your vid its simple to put it that using large text for describing is much more better than a review that takes about 10-15mins of talking to review a comparison well done bro.
You made my Christmas man. Thanks ! Now I know the difference of switches
7 months later and this video is still the standard for switch comparison. Thank you sir.
Thanks for making this video! It helps a lot :D I've tried both brown switches and red switches. I like red switches more because I can use it at home and at the office. But after using red switches for a while, I got a brown switch keyboard, and I noticed that when using it, I actually get a little more tired from typing. I'm a fast touch-typist, and I tend to be brutal on my keys, but I never thought that the actuation force thing would have an effect on my typing stamina :S
browns and red have the same actuation
So which one is less tired for typers? Red or brown??
@@acelinoreaper5629 " I got a brown switch keyboard, and I noticed that when using it, I actually get a little more tired from typing" --> Brown is more tired.
@@chrissizemore3424 yes same actuation so , bullshit ?
@@trakha1067 So you mean Red is good to go? Since I am more on typing works
My hero! No talking, straight to the point, nice job!
Video that im looking for. No need 2 hours explanation. Thanks man.
Simple and to the point, thank you!
I'm binge watching short keyboard comparison videos at 2 am for no reason lol
this vid is so good that it has entered into my playlist "keyboard parts"
Blindly liked and subscribed because of straightforward the video is. Absolutely loved it.
honestly the brown switch seems perfect to me, i don't want something too noisy, especially when were talking about the spacebar
it is quiet and it still has this nice tactile feedback of a mechanical keyboard. red switch is worse than a membrane keyboard. u can never know when it activates because it doesnt have any sound or bump feedback
Brown and Red it's difficult to compare, but i have 2 options for you guys:
1. If you want a little more pressure and quiet you should choose Brown
2. If you do not like the pressure and only like quiet you should choose Red
For me personally i choose Brown because I feel Red does not feel every press down
Which is more quieter ??
@@not_ixi1672 red
@@not_ixi1672linear switches are the quietest.
...this is exactly the video I needed (short & sweet (and Satisfying!)). Thank you.
Perfect. Straight to the point and no bs. Thank you very much.
I intended to buy brown switches but I ended up getting a good deal for a blue switches keyboard. The first weeks were awesome, the tactile and the sound were really satisfying, but after a few months I realized just how loud they are if you live in a house that practically doesn't have sound barriers.
Everytime Im using my keyboard and there is someone in the room besides mine, they CAN hear it. It's very stressful because I know it can be annoying for them. It got to the point where I started to get annoyed as well but I don't have another keyboard and this one is still functional and relatively new.
I don't regret my purchase since it was still a good deal and a good first experience, but If you're someone that might experience the same problem as me, I would recommend you either choose a different switch or keep your old keyboard to take a break from the sound once you start to get tired of it. Taking breaks on my laptop is what keep me from buying a new one.
Easy quick comparison, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I sub'd u coz u made a informational vid in 2 min when others take so much tym
By far the best sound comparison video ever. Thank you!!!
I have the HyperX alloy as well. Perfect keyboard for World of Warcraft when using a headset, because you really feel the click and even still hear it over the sound. For office work or any more relaxed gaming however, that monster is just way too aggressive for me!
THIS is the DEFINITIVE video.
I love you!! Thank you for making this clearly & useful comparison! It does help a lot 😊👍
Love you for this video. It is of tremendous help for those looking to get a mechanical keyboard online and not sure.
I would personally get brown switches. I like all of the switches though. I like the browns because they are nice and silent and they have the tactile feeling. I like blue switches also but the sound can get annoying sometimes. It's a satisfying sound I don't want to hear it all the time. Red switches are good but I'd prefer the tactile feeling. All of the switches are good, it's just based on personal preference.

BLUE SWITCHES ARE FOR PPL LIKE OMAR
What I was looking for. Thanks for this video.
OMG! Best video EVAR! All in one vid! Thx bro!
I'd prefer the red switches the most just because it is perfect for gamers, it also sounds really nice. I don't really like loud and tactile switches. Brown switches are not the best but I would say it's the second best. Good video btw!
Good demonstration. I have been using a velocifire tkl01 that I bought for around $20 for the last few years which has brown switches and to me it has been comparable to $60-$100 keyboards
@Zach E I have that same keyboard lol
The video I was searching for.. Thank you!
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you
I'm going for the blue switches. They're so satisfying :)
i like blue a lot but a lot of people dont espically if they are watching a stream or in a game ad hearing the person pressing the blue keys but i like streams with blue switches and could listen to them all day
This was actually extremely helpful! Thank you!

@@oreoeatsoreos9412 If you like blue then use silicon sound dampener with switches, it will lower the sound.. and for brown it may not sound very flat like red but it is far better to use than blue but almost feels like a blue switch with red switch feeling.
