What types of mechanical keyboard switches are there? What are their properties?

{"text":"Mechanical keyboards are popular among gamers, programmers, and anyone who types for extended periods. These keyboards use mechanical switches instead of the rubber domes used in traditional keyboards. Mechanical switches provide tactile feedback, which results in a more satisfying typing experience. There are several types of mechanical keyboard switches, including:\n\n1. Cherry MX switches: These are some of the most popular mechanical switches and are used in many high-end keyboards. They come in different colors, each with different properties.\n    - Cherry MX Red switches have a linear feel and require less force to actuate. They are preferred by gamers for their fast response time.\n    - Cherry MX Brown switches have a tactile bump and are quieter than other switches. They are preferred by typists for their tactile feedback.\n    - Cherry MX Blue switches have a tactile bump and an audible click, making them the loudest switches. They are also preferred by typists for their tactile feedback.\n\n2. Kailh switches: These are Chinese-made switches that are similar to Cherry MX switches. They are cheaper than Cherrie MX switches and are becoming more popular.\n    - Kailh Red switches are linear and require less force to actuate.\n    - Kailh Brown switches have a tactile bump and are quieter than other switches.\n    - Kailh Blue switches have a tactile bump and an audible click, making them similar to Cherry MX Blue switches.\n\n3. Gateron switches: These are similar to Cherry MX switches but are made by a Chinese company. They are cheaper than     - Cherry MX switches and are becoming more popular.\n    - Gateron Red switches are linear and require less force to actuate.\n    - Gateron Brown switches have a tactile bump and are quieter than other switches.\n    - Gateron Blue switches have a tactile bump and an audible click, making them similar to Cherry MX Blue switches.\n\n4. Topre switches: These are electrostatic capacitive switches that provide a different typing experience. They are quieter and require less force to actuate.\n    - Topre switches have a tactile bump and are preferred by typists for their typing experience.\n\n5. Buckling Spring switches: These switches use a spring and a plastic cylinder to provide tactile feedback. They are the loudest and heaviest switches.\n    - Buckling Spring switches have a tactile bump and an audible click. They are preferred by typists for their tactile feedback.","dsl":{}}

Youtubers keep recommending I try a switch before I buy one but how do I try a switch when shopping online, I'm not super picky but switches are too expensive to make a mistake when shopping.

{"text":"Yes, it's a good idea to help get to know what you prefer.  I recommend that you search for and order a \"keyboard switch sampler\" or \"keyboard switch tester\" which allows you to test out each type of switch for a specific brand.  These have each type of switch arranged in a supportive grid to where you can compare the properties of each.  These are significantly less expensive than purchasing different mechanical keyboards with specific switches.  Alternately, you can visit electronics stores that feature different brands of keyboards on display to try.","dsl":{}}
