Choosing the right mechanical switch depends on your typing style and preferences. There are three main switch colors to consider: Red, Brown, and Blue (blacks are no longer seen on the market). These switches fall into two categories: linear and tactile. Red switches, which are tactile, are primarily favored for gaming due to their arguably faster actuation, making them ideal for rapid keystrokes. On the other hand, Brown and Blue switches are tactile with two-step actuating keys, preferred by typists for their feedback. Browns are quieter, making them suitable for office environments, while Blues are clicky and louder. Additionally, there are custom switches like Logitech’s Romer G switches that feel different and offer a distinct typing feel, allowing users to find the perfect switch that matches their typing style and preferences.
