OEM Customized Design Mechanical Keyboard Switch Types With Glossy Surface

1. Linear Switches

• Characteristics: Linear switches provide a smooth and consistent keystroke from the top to the bottom without any tactile feedback or audible click. The force required to press the key remains constant throughout the keystroke.
• Examples: Cherry MX Red and Cherry MX Black are popular linear switches.
• Best For: Gaming, as they allow for quick key presses and are generally quieter, making them suitable for shared environments .

2. Tactile Switches

• Characteristics: Tactile switches feature a noticeable bump at the actuation point, which provides physical feedback when the key is registered. This bump helps typists know when a key has been pressed without needing to bottom out the key.
• Examples: Cherry MX Brown is a well-known tactile switch.
• Best For: Typing, as the tactile feedback can enhance the typing experience and reduce typing errors. They are also quieter than clicky switches, making them more suitable for office environments.

3. Clicky Switches

• Characteristics: Clicky switches combine tactile feedback with an audible click sound when the key is actuated. This sound is produced by a mechanism inside the switch that creates a distinct noise when the bump is overcome.
• Examples: Cherry MX Blue is a classic example of a clicky switch.
• Best For: Typing, especially for those who enjoy auditory feedback. However, they can be disruptive in quiet settings due to their loudness .

Summary of Key Differences

• Feel: Linear switches are smooth, tactile switches have a bump, and clicky switches have both a bump and a click sound.
• Sound: Linear and tactile switches are generally quiet, while clicky switches are loud.
• Weight: Linear switches are often lighter, while tactile and clicky switches can be heavier, requiring more force to actuate.
• Best Applications: Linear switches excel in gaming, tactile switches are great for typing, and clicky switches are preferred by those who enjoy sound feedback but may not be suitable for shared spaces.
